A great outdoor excursion and cultural learning experience! Highly recommend - Andy was great - as was the hike! We thoroughly enjoyed learning about Korean culture and history. It was a nice workout too! We told him what we wanted to eat and he found the perfect place for exactly what we asked for. A great day!

Once in a life time experience. - We had the best time with Kim. He took us on the most magical hike and the experience felt once in a lifetime. The meal we had after our beautiful hike was so delicious and home cooked and the spa we ended up going to wasn't pretentious at all. It felt like a neighborhood spot all the ladies close by go to...it was totally a glimpse into everyday life in Seoul. I highly recommend this tour...so worth the money! Thank you Kim!

This was truly a special... - This was truly a special experience for our family! Mr. Kim guided us on our hike up Mt. Bukhansan. We learned so much about the history of Korea. Hiking to the temple was so amazing! Lunch was delicious and our jimjilbang (spa) experience was incredible!! It was a wonderful way to start our family vacation. We loved it.

Hiking in Korea - The hiking experience was a great experience. The hike was about 3 miles. Pretty steep at some places. Lots of rocks to climb on way up and then roadway down. Kim was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about Seoul. The lunch was at a traditional Korean location and was so delicious! The spa experience definitely helped relax all the leg muscles from the hike. I recommend doing this tour!

Great day out - This was a great experience! David was very patient with me on the hills and was a very knowledgeable guide. Views were gorgeous. Spa experience loosened up my muscles post-hike and my skin is glowing.

Packed day in Seoul away from the crowds - Amazing day which included hotel pick up, hike up a mountain to see a Buddhist temple, local lunch and spa. The guide was punctual, friendly and considerate. You should bring plenty of water for the walk and toiletries for the spa. I should have brought clean clothes to change into after the body scrub. I was glad I had researched the spa so I knew what to do once I was inside. Easy to recommend this trip. Thank you.

A five star experience from the start to the end! - A great experience, even if the weather was hot. I recommend good hiking shoes and lots of water. Our guide Jimmy was the perfect host. Helpful and friendly, made our trip unforgettable. We got great views, fantastic Korean food and an unbelievable experience at the Korean sauna. I recommend you do get the scrub: it costs a small extra (25.000/30.000 won), but it is worth every penny. You will never have smoother skin.

Great tour - Kim is really knowledgeable of Korean culture, history, flora, and fauna. It was interesting hearing his perspectives of current events and topics. The hike was fun however not specifically easy. It was about a 3 mile walk with a 600 ft elevation change.

Great guide - Our guide Jimmy was simply exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made us feel very comfortable. The traditional lunch was quite awesome. The sauna experience afterwards was quite unique. It forced us to shed some inhibitions but thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Beautiful monastery hike in close proximity to Seoul - Hike was spectacular. It’s a relatively short, low/moderate intensity hike. Great for beginner hikers, seniors etc. Lunch was delicious and soaking in the spa was a relaxing way to end the tour. Guide was knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend.
