5.00I had a great time with Ryan on this walk, was a perfect experience between our trips to busy cities like Seoul and Busan. I had the tour to myself, so he came to pick me up at accommodation, gave me so much useful information about Gyeongju. The morning hike was beautiful, the views at the top were really the highlight of my trip then, and I were the only tourist along the trail. Ryan was friendly, knowledgeable and a fun guide, gave me so many tips for our onward trip to Busan and Jeju. Ryan offered an additional tour taking me and my parents to Bulguksa and Seokgulam Grotto next day! My parents love the whole experience and how much he was patient and accommodating to their older age. Recommended him 100%!
