The BEST night view of Seoul is waiting for you!
+ series of snacks in a local market
+ dinner at a traditional restaurant (Optional, but inexpensive)
We, Koa & Sam, are outdoor fanatics—and we are probably some of the friendliest people you will meet in Korea. (According to 5,000+ people who came before you)
First stop is a traditional market and it's snack time. Here, we will sample several local snacks. (Some are vegan friendly!)
Our hike will take place along the ancient fortress that was built on Inwangsan mountain about 600 years ago. We'll get to see how stunning Seoul looks from above. We'll sit down at a peak and gaze at the sunset.
The hike lasts about 90 minutes, and we'll reach a peak at 240 meters (780 feet).
Then head over to a legendary restaurant in a lantern-lit alley. There is no better way to end your trip than devouring homemade-style dishes along with some rice wines. (Vegan available)

5.00It’s been a few years but the memories linger. This was one of the highlights of our girls trip to South Korea. The hike was exhilarating, the view at the end of hike was breathtaking. However the best part was the conversations, meeting new friends, the laughs over drinks and food. Sam curated a fun adventure that will give you memories to last a lifetime. Wholeheartedly recommend this experience for family, friends or solo travelers.
Great evening activity

5.00Really great night view of Seoul and our guide Koa is a chill and interesting guy. He takes the time to learn names and shows sincere interest in people. He led our all-female group of 11 to make sure folks did ok getting up and down the hilltop, and it was a rambunctious dinner had by all at the end. I did not envy the task of meeting about 6 different dietary needs but he pulled it off and we had a lot of fun! It’s a really good tour and I recommend it for anyone with the physical capacity to climb up and down steps.
The best introduction to see and experience iconic Seoul.
