The entire experience from booking to hiking was excellent. Excellent communication by Outdoors Korea and the guide Mr Baek. We hiked up different trails at Bukhansan park to the temple and Samobawi rock. Lunch and water provided as was pick up from the hotel.

Highly recommended. It was good to get out of the bustle of the city for a day. This is a small employee owned company so you get excellent personal service. Kim our guide was able to tailor the trip to our needs. We are regular hikers at home but due to an injury we did not come with kit and did not want the full summit climb. Kim is very experienced and knew all the park routes so took us an ‘easy’ route on a lower peak mostly alongside mountain streams. It’s still quite steep in places so would recommend sturdy shoes and some hiking experience. Beautiful views of Seoul in the distance and a visit to a Buddhist temple were well worth it. Also talking to Kim about Korean culture, history and politics was a highlight of our trip.

We had Chance as our guide on our hike and he was wonderful. He was helpful, supportive, informative and enthusiastic. I felt confident that I could do this hike, even though I was intimidated at first. Highly recommend

We had a great hike on Bukhansan. . Kevin our guide was very nice and obliged us by taking us to Begundae Peak when the original plan was to go to a lower point. Kevin walked at a good pace but made sure we could keep up and took breaks on the way up. We all like a challenge and I found the hike not quite as difficult as I had imagined. (Although it was very hard work especially in the heat). Kevin provided water and lovely Gimbap when we reached the peak. He told us what he could about the mountain and answered our questions about SK. He was very patient and kind and was a lovely guide to have. For info: we all wore trainers. Hiking boots would have been even better but trainers were ok although there are lots of loose stones and some parts can be a bit slippery. I used a stick that I found along the way. There are lots!
fantastic tour

We had such a wonderful time with our great tour guide Chance. He showed us a beautiful, scenic route up to a temple with a view, that you wouldn't want to miss when visiting Seoul. On the way he can explain every bit of nature, history and culture of Korea in perfect English. Even if you are a hiking newbie (like us) this tour is just fantastic. Best hiking company in Korea!
Must do but prepare

The hike and guide were outstanding! The hike is rocky and not for beginners. I searched for a description but didn’t find anything woth enough detail. I just wanted to be prepared. The trail is 99% rocks, many stairs and a 20% grade right in the beginning. Crowded. This is not necessarily to turn you away. It was an amazing experience but I could not finish to the peak :( Just too much for this particular day. Guide Kim was great, knowledgeable and patient. Hiking boots recommended! Most Koreans are hikers so many generations in the hike! Level 1 for them! Go for it; just prepare yourself!
Highly recommend this challenging adventure

Our guide Kim was very good and talkative so we never got bored. The climb up was quite challenging but well worth it. The views were amazing and we were exhausted by the time we were done! Highly recommended for those that can handle it.
Excellent work!

Guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. She took us anywhere we wanted to go on the hike. She also made us a very tasty lunch and kept us involved the entire time. I've already recommended this hike to several friends.
The best part of our tour was our guide

We started by canceling this tour, but before we get to that part let’s start by saying that we had only arrived in Korea a few hours earlier after our flight was delayed and our luggage missed the connection. So going on a 8:00 am hike felt impossible. Hence, why we tried to cancel. But our guide waited for us. Encouraged us and coaxed us into going. It was really the best way to start out time in earnest in Seoul. The hike was tough but good, the fresh mountain air, the stillness and the interesting fun commentary from Kim Chan So (our guide) completely turned around my attitude. At to he end of the hike we capped it off with an amazing meal. Nothing could’ve been better. Thank you so so much.
