Not a pleasant experience

1.00The places we visited were nice, but the guide arrived late and was not clear about the place we were going to eat, he did not explain it was only raw sea food, the place made us buy a lot and even tough I told him we did not eat raw food he did not stop them. We spent 75 dlls for food we did not eat.
It was great

Having a private driver...

3.00Having a private driver was helpful. But if the tour guide does not speak your language, it can get awkward. I specifically asked for English speaking tour guide. Also, the tour guide should not expect to have lunch with client. I had few private tours, and have invited one guide to have meal. It would be different if it was a small or large group tour. I was touring with my mother and had no intention of having meal with a stranger. He seemed little offended that I went over the budget and demanded his part of the lunch budget, which I gave. Overall it was good to have a private driver but did not have a tour guide.
Excellent Guide – Highly Recommended

5.00We are very happy with Jimmy. He is knowledgeable and speaks both English and some Chinese, which worked great for our parents who didn't speak English. We learned a lot about Korea from Jimmy during this trip.
Excellent day trip from Seoul

5.00Mr. Kim was an amazing guide! His English is excellent, and he has a very friendly and engaging personality. He is an expert hiker who has climbed all the mountains in the area, so when the gondola was closed due to high winds and we had to pivot and hike the trail instead, he was ready. He told us about the geography, language and history of Korea, shared stories about growing up in the area, and even offered suggestions for future adventures based on his own world travels. He asked about the foods we liked and when I told him I had really enjoyed some dakgalbi (a regional dish from Chuncheon) when I was in Korea long ago, he found a local restaurant that served us dakgalbi for lunch and it was amazing. Taking a break from the city and enjoying Korea’s beautiful mountains and nature is absolutely worthwhile! It’s a long day, but really interesting and rewarding.
Great daytrip with Andy.

5.00We 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.
Varied tour Mount Seorak, Naksana Temple and Sokcho

5.00The 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.
Wonderful trip
