Brandon was fabulous! We had the most amazing day! He showed us how to get to the summit and provided food and tea. The climb was so much fun, and we were thrilled to take our picture at the summit!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re delighted you had an amazing day with Brandon and enjoyed the climb, the tea, and the summit experience. Congratulations on making it to the top, and we hope to see you again on another adventure..!!
Fantastic experience with Jimmy!
Thank you for the nice review.
Brandon was a brilliant tour guide. He dropped us and off and picked us up directly from our central Seoul hotel. He told us lots of information about the peak, and provided a lovely sushi roll and tea lunch. We did the main peak - and it WAS a challenge not for the feint hearted. But it felt a wonderful achievement to reach the top and we have some great photos to prove it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with our great Mt guide Brandon and enjoyed the adventure to the peak. It’s amazing that you conquered the hike despite the challenge — definitely an achievement to be proud of. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch and learned more about the area along the way. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in Korea..!!
We had the Best Guide for this tour “Jimmy”. Without stress punctual pickup at the hotel and with a balanced rest he accompanied us to the Bukhansan. Organized water and lunch on the go. It was a great tour - Thanks Jimmy - You are the best guide 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Bukhansan tour with our best hiking guide Jimmy. We’ll make sure to pass your wonderful feedback on to him. Hope to see you again on another adventure soon..!!
Our guide Brandon made things easy for us - pick up at hotel, right on time, great conversation and a solid hiker on the trail. Great english and funny personality. Lots of different trails to choose from and he picked a quiet one for the trip down the mountain, which was nice because it was a busy day. Thanks for a memorable trip!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're so glad you enjoyed your hike and had a memorable experience. We hope to see you again on another adventure.
We had a wonderful spring hike with Chansoo. It was a rainy, misty day, and he recommended an alternative hike rather than going to the peak as the rocks would be very slippery. He brought us on a beautiful route to lookout points over Seoul and nearby peaks, and then on to Seunggasa Temple, which was both stunning and peaceful in the mist. He shared a lot of geology and pointed out various trees and shrubs and wildlife. We very much enjoyed our good conversation and learned a lot about Korea. The hike ended with an indoor lunch of gimbap, ramen, and a tray of Korean favorites like scallion pancakes and meatballs - all of which were so good after the hike in the fresh, chilly mountain air! We would highly recommend this experience. Chansoo is such a knowledgeable and pleasant person. I don’t think we would have attempted Bukhansan on our own on such a wet day and would have missed out on one of our trip highlights.
Thank you so much for your kind review..!! We're delighted you enjoyed the hike with Chansoo and had such a memorable experience. We hope to see you again in Korea.
Breathtaking! Jimmy the guide was awesome - it's a steep, tough hike, so very glad to have him as my wingman.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the hike, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with Jimmy 😊
We had the best day hiking with our guide Jimmy. The day was seamless, Jimmy picked us up on time from our hotel, picked up snacks and lunch for our group, and recommended a trail that was challenging but doable for our family. He was easy to communicate with over text prior to the excursion. He is very knowledgeable about the mountain and patient. We couldn’t have done it without him!
Thank you so much for wonderful review. We're truly grateful for your kind words and so glad you enjoyed the hike with our best hiking guide Jimmy. We hope to see you again on another adventure.

It was a great hiking trip for 1st timer hikers like our family. The hiking trip was well managed on difficulty level that we can cope and enjoy...nice scenery and experience guide to help us manage our journey at comfortable pace..we chatted along the way and understood some history about korea, temple on this mountain and many other things. It was a great trip thanks to my tour guide Mr kim
Thank you so much for the great review Ms. Irene. What a beautifully memorable experience! It sounds like the perfect introduction to hiking—well-paced, thoughtfully guided, and filled with meaningful moments along the way. I love how you not only enjoyed the stunning scenery but also connected with Korea’s history and culture through the journey. Huge appreciation to our best hiking guide Mr. Kim for making it such a comfortable, engaging, and enriching adventure. This is exactly the kind of trip that turns first-time hikers into lifelong nature lovers!
