5.00All day activity and be sure to bring comfortable shoes for uneven terrain. Guide was engaging and answered any questions we had during the tour. You will not be able to see everything at the National Park so you will have to pick your most wanted view/activity.
Great views!

5.00Great tour! Gina was a great tour guide and an impressive hiker. This tour is far from Seoul but since we had a lot of extra time in the city, it was worth it to see the east coast of Korea and the mountains. There are a few options of hikes when you get there - everything from an accessible trail to a waterfall to a cable car to a challenging 3.5 hour hike. We did the second hardest hike and it was very steep but worth it! We still had time to grab food at the bottom and check out the shops. It’s a lot of time spent in the car but you get to see beautiful countryside and mountains on the way so it’s worth it
Excellent tour to a beautiful national park in the mountains of Korea

5.00It was a lovely day: it didn't rain, the fog was magic, the landscape was stunning and I don't regret going on this lovely trip. I took the cable car, so it was hard to estimate how much time it would take me, but I made it right on time. The hike is quite challenging given how hot and humid it has been these days, but I recommend it nevertheless. Lucia the guide was very friendly and generous. I wish we had more time so that I could take my time and just admire the landscape. It would have been useful to have some guidance regarding the rituals/habits/gestures that are appropriate at the temples. Regardless, it was a lovely experience! 감사합니다!
Strongly recommend David and Seoraksan!
