Jimmy was a great guide....

4.00Jimmy was a great guide. Make sure you pace yourself as you make your way up Inwangsan. Jimmy will remind you to do so and also to drink some water along the way. Views of the city were absolutely breathtaking. It was rainy and foggy when we reached the top of Bugaksan so unfortunately the view there was not visible at all. The sky had cleared up by the time we reached Naksan Park though. Lunch is included in the tour price. Jimmy asked what I liked and suggested trying different dishes. He ordered for us using the kiosk, and we split a kimchi fried rice with a fried egg, a beef stew (kimchi stew not available that day), and an order of 2 finger-sized gimbaps. The lunch spot was one of those sit-down places where you get your own utensils and then clear the table yourself afterwards. I was expecting more based on the price of the tour. The food was prepared on site but the experience felt similar to sitting at a CU or 7-Eleven and having instant ramyun.
Loved it!

5.00Excellent tour with views of the city from all sides. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Tour included a mix of walking and driving around various areas of Seoul, and a delicious authentic Korean lunch in the food market. Unique perspective of Seoul that would be difficult to match. Highly recommended.
Best Seoul City Wall Adventure!

5.00My husband and I visited Seoul for our first time and wanted to see many parts of the wall/Seoul and learn more about the history. We also love hiking and were excited for the opportunity to summit a couple mountains! We definitely chose the right tour and had a fantastic time with the guide. We learned so much from him and saw so so much! When taking this tour be prepared to climb A LOT of stairs to summit the two mountains in the morning. It will be very worth it though, and you will be rewarded with a delicious lunch!! The afternoon is more easy going with car rides to the last two mountains. Lots of sight seeing and great photo opportunities. Overall I highly recommend this tour if you are up for adventure and for hanging with a very knowledgeable and passionate guide! Great experience we will remember forever.
Invigorating, challenging, powerful, fun

5.00My friend and I had a phenomenal hike climbing the wall trek in Inwangsan, Bugaksan, Naksan Park, N-Seoul Tower! First and foremost, our guide Chance is incredibly knowledgeable, always at the foresight of our safety assured, he accommodated the hike when we needed it, and he was incredibly patient! He explained so much of the history and the culture, which was a bonus, before during and after our hike. He’s passionate about his career, and he makes sure that his participants achieve a wonderful experience as well as building confidence! 감사합니다
