Authentic, away from tourists tour - This is a little gem of a tour, away from the crowds of tourists. It starts by catching a local bus from the meeting point (Tmoney card needed). The tour guide was responsive, calm and friendly. The short but hilly hike in the woods was invigorating. The scenery is just gorgeous. The lunch spot is an authentic tent cafe where Koreans come to eat, cooked by a lady who grows her own veg.

Jun is a treasure! Great hike, delicious food and drink - Jun was amazing. He was so helpful and paced to my speed (though I am fairly certain he could have run up). Gave great information about the local area and even sent me some restaurant suggestions after. It was by far my best thing to do on my trip despite the rain.

Wonderful experience - Hiking with Hug You was amazing! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. As well as enjoying the hike, we also had a wonderful cultural exchange. I would highly recommend this hike to anyone. The magkeolli and lunch we had later was another highlight of the day. I'm very grateful for their hospitality. I'll be back!

Great Experience! - We had a really wonderful time, hiking and a full authentic Korean meal. Our guide was very intelligent and taught us a lot of historical facts along the way. The mountain is not steep but there were areas that had an incline. I don’t work out much but it was doable. The whole experience was under 15k steps.

Amazing views - Highly recommend guide Jun. He was friendly to talk with, adaptable to my fitness level and showed me a few amazing watch tower look-out points that made for great photo ops. The place we stopped for lunch was just perfect! All the ingredients were locally grown and the Makgeolli was delicious. Amazing day out for anyone looking for an alternative activity in Busan away from the hustle.
