The experience

You start at one of three Seoul pickup points and travel by air-conditioned coach to Nami Island, the half-moon shaped island famous for its tree-lined roads and as the filming location for the Korean drama Winter Sonata. The island is yours to explore at your own pace: walk the scenic paths or rent a bike to cycle around. The landscape is open and the day is built so you have time to move through it without rushing.

From there the tour moves to Petite France, a small French village with 16 brightly colored buildings that have appeared in Korean dramas and variety shows. Italian Village sits directly beside it. This is the only theme park in Korea officially partnered with the Collodi Foundation, and it centers on The Adventures of Pinocchio with exhibitions, performances and a 10.8-meter Pinocchio figure. Both villages are designed for photographs and wandering, and the guide provides a briefing on what you're seeing.

The day closes at Garden of Morning Calm, Korea's oldest private garden. This is where the pace shifts. You walk through seasonal plantings and festival displays that draw families, couples and photographers throughout the year. From December through March, the tour departs later to catch the Garden of Morning Calm Light Festival instead, so the itinerary adjusts with the season. All four entrance fees are included, as is the transport between stops.
