Enjoyable Hike

Jimmy was an outstanding tour guide. Before taking off, he assessed our hiking skill and adjusted the elevation and distance accordingly. The pace of the hike was perfect and was interspersed with stories about Korean history and culture. At the summit we enjoyed a light lunch of kimbap , ramen, and fresh pears. We had a gorgeous day hiking with a friendly tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour.

Personalised hiking experience in the mountain park just outside Seoul

Highly recommended. It was good to get out of the bustle of the city for a day. This is a small employee owned company so you get excellent personal service. Kim our guide was able to tailor the trip to our needs. We are regular hikers at home but due to an injury we did not come with kit and did not want the full summit climb. Kim is very experienced and knew all the park routes so took us an ‘easy’ route on a lower peak mostly alongside mountain streams. It’s still quite steep in places so would recommend sturdy shoes and some hiking experience. Beautiful views of Seoul in the distance and a visit to a Buddhist temple were well worth it. Also talking to Kim about Korean culture, history and politics was a highlight of our trip.

Operator response

So nice to hear that you've met the best Mt guide Kim. Please come to Korea again and he will introduce you to other wonderful mountain. And He is going to be best guide again.

Great hike

We had Chance as our guide on our hike and he was wonderful. He was helpful, supportive, informative and enthusiastic. I felt confident that I could do this hike, even though I was intimidated at first. Highly recommend

Fabulous hike

We had a great hike on Bukhansan. . Kevin our guide was very nice and obliged us by taking us to Begundae Peak when the original plan was to go to a lower point. Kevin walked at a good pace but made sure we could keep up and took breaks on the way up. We all like a challenge and I found the hike not quite as difficult as I had imagined. (Although it was very hard work especially in the heat). Kevin provided water and lovely Gimbap when we reached the peak. He told us what he could about the mountain and answered our questions about SK. He was very patient and kind and was a lovely guide to have. For info: we all wore trainers. Hiking boots would have been even better but trainers were ok although there are lots of loose stones and some parts can be a bit slippery. I used a stick that I found along the way. There are lots!

Thank you for the great review. And we are happy to hear that you had a satisfied hiking with our best hiking guide Kevin. We hope to see you again and join our tour.

fantastic tour

We had such a wonderful time with our great tour guide Chance. He showed us a beautiful, scenic route up to a temple with a view, that you wouldn't want to miss when visiting Seoul. On the way he can explain every bit of nature, history and culture of Korea in perfect English. Even if you are a hiking newbie (like us) this tour is just fantastic. Best hiking company in Korea!

Must do but prepare

The hike and guide were outstanding! The hike is rocky and not for beginners. I searched for a description but didn’t find anything woth enough detail. I just wanted to be prepared. The trail is 99% rocks, many stairs and a 20% grade right in the beginning. Crowded. This is not necessarily to turn you away. It was an amazing experience but I could not finish to the peak :( Just too much for this particular day. Guide Kim was great, knowledgeable and patient. Hiking boots recommended! Most Koreans are hikers so many generations in the hike! Level 1 for them! Go for it; just prepare yourself!

Operator response

Thank you. Good to read the review. We are sorry for the your hiking skill. You've told to our guide that you are the Pilates Instructor. So he expected about your hiking ability.. And our guide already gave you an option where you would like to hike like easy or intermediate course. You choosed the intermediate course..!! It was your choice..!! We can say this course is not that hard for people who are ready to hike..!!

Highly recommend this challenging adventure

Our guide Kim was very good and talkative so we never got bored. The climb up was quite challenging but well worth it. The views were amazing and we were exhausted by the time we were done! Highly recommended for those that can handle it.
