We loved our trip into the mountains. Kim was a fabulous guide, knowledgeable, efficient and considerate. The views from the tip of the cable car were magnificent, and the temple complex was so peaceful. Another highlight was the trip to the local market, where we were just about the only foreigners. Add to that, a wonderful lunch in a local restaurant selected by Kim, and we couldnt have asked for a better experience. We recommend this trip.

The tour with Benny was very interesting and varied. Mount Seorak has inspired us despite cloudy weather due to its special landscape. Delicious lunch at local restaurant. Sokcho is an authentic coastal town with a fish market offering an endless range of street food, dried and fresh fish. The detour to the sea was the perfect conclusion. Overall a nice day. Thanks, Benny.

This was an incredible experience! A private tour ended up being the perfect solution to learning about the culture and history of South Korea. I was able to take my time and enjoy the sites. Kim was the perfect tour guide. He was punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We spent the three hour drive talking about Korean history, and his personal stories added a lot of insight about how the war impacted lives. The tour itself was worth the drive. Great beautiful landscapes to see. Mt Seorak national park was majestic and serene. There is some uphill walking/stairs involved, but the path is very well maintained and there are plenty of places to stop and rest. The stop by the East Sea and market were also worth the trip. A great way to end a great day. I highly recommend this tour and this tour with Kim.

We had a really lovely daytrip to Mt Seorak with our guide Kim. We had a lot of questions and Kim was very kind to answer all of them and share his experience. We would gladly choose Kim again for another trip.

I highly recommend this trip. Mount seorak is definitely a place to visit when you are in Seoul. Our guide Mr. Kim was very informative, kind, helpful and funny. Our trip was definitely enhanced by our guide Mr. Kim. It is definitely worth going on a private trip. Thank you Mr. Kim. We will see you next year.
