It rained before the hiking but it made our tour more exiciting and adventurous. After hiking, we had a delicious Korean dishes and went to Korean sauna. It was a really unique experience during my trip in Seoul.
If you are looking for a nice host also a good friend in Korea, Lee would be the great selection!

Guide never showed up - Well, not much I can say except that I had been looking forward to the hike but the guide never showed up even though I had paid and confirmed several times - also through others waiting in the same place - that I was in the right spit at the right time. Phone number was also not connecting. Wondering what happened and whether I will hear from you regarding a refund…
