Busan Hiking & Food Experience

I enjoy walking and hiking tours during my travels and this was one of the best I have been to. The trail itself was an easy one but with stunning views of Busan city. Our guide Jun was fun, friendly and very hospitable. I really appreciate that they still conducted this tour even when it was only three of us for the hike. You must definitely do this when in Busan for spectacular views of the city and a hike that ends with a fabulous lunch of delicious local fare with a side of Soju! thank you Jun for being an excellent host!

Ho Kyu was a fantastic guide on the hiking tour. I really enjoyed the hike. Defintely not an easy hike but the scenery at the peak of Geumjeongsan was worth every sweat! A treat to the Korean pajeon and Makgeolli post hiking perfected the entire trip!

They could have cancelled the booking because i was the only person on this hike but they have drove me all the way to Pohang which was a 2 hour drive from Busan. They have assisted me throughout the entire hike and brought me to Yangdong Folk village where I experienced the actual making of the traditional Korean rice wine. It was a very memorable experience and i am thankful to junwoo along with the other Pohang resident who joined the hike because not that i only enjoyed this tour but i have proven that Koreans are friendly and really nice people! I am really hoping that more people would try and book this tour because it was all worth it!! 감사합니다 💕

This hiking tour was amazing. Not only was the guide Ho Kyu super friendly and experienced (he adjusted the hike to my fitness level, so that I could fully appreciate it), and we had the greatest conversations during the tour, he also showed me some of the nicest views and impressions that I could imagine to see from Busan. The lunch and Makgeolli were also amazing. I strongly recommend to EVERYONE to book a hiking tour with him. It was an unforgettable experience. Many thanks again, Ho Gyu, for this super, super half day. 🫶

I had the best time hiking up Geumjeongsan Mountain with great company! There were stunning views of Busan that was lead by HugYou. He made the hike an enjoyable experience through his bubbly personality, great knowledge of Korean history and safely leading us throughout the mountain. As well as meeting his beautiful mother who made traditional Korean food to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Overall I had a amazing experience and would highly recommend taking this tour while staying at Busan :)

Great vibes great guide. Strongly recommended. The speed of the hiking route is suitable for couch potato like myself. The guide Hugyu prepared hiking/climbing sticks as well as tea refreshments for the mid-point check-in. Helped to take photos at the 2 peaks. Included a nice refreshing lunch along with Korean wine in an outdoor tent. Very good deal and workout. Lucky to see some blossoming pink and white Korean beotkkot trees along the way. Delighted.

HugYou was so nice and kind! I had the most incredible experience. The place itself was super pretty and the hiking was nice and smooth, the view from the top was breathtaking. HugYou took the time to explain some of the history with us with some really interesting facts about Korea. At the end we had a really tasty Korean lunch with rice wine that made it even better. I 100% recommend this tour!

Great experience! It’s really tiring, but worth it! The scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and I got to know Busan’s local culture more deeply! Friends who participate, remember to wear comfortable walking shoes! The guide's care and chat were very real, and he always paid attention to our situation! Then after climbing the mountain, we had the most delicious lunch in the village, including scallion pancakes, tofu, noodle soup, and margarine ~ omg it was so delicious 🤤 I was so happy! ! Recommended to those who like to try something different and like to get to know the local culture!

I had a great experience on this Geumjeongsan hiking tour and would definitely recommend it! I’m glad that the tour still went ahead even though I was the only participant that day. The hike was manageable overall, with a few steeper sections (great workout!). The views from the guard posts were absolutely breathtaking, and from the top you get an amazing bird’s-eye view of Busan. Lunch was also a treat — the bibim naengmyeon was delicious and hit the spot after the hike. The highlight of the tour was definitely the guide, Doyour. He was super chill, engaging, and easy to talk to. It was nice meeting someone my age — a "chinggu" as they say in Korea! He made what could have been a tiring solo hike feel fun, relaxed, and memorable. Thanks for a wonderful day in Busan!

It was a great hike. Hugyou is very professional and friendly. He made sure everyone's needs are taken care of and he is so genuine. He shares alot of information regarding the mountain and busan, making it more fun. The hike up took about 2+ hours, and another half an hour down. Do wear proper shoes because there are some climbing to reach to the top. I really enjoyed the Lunch in the village after the hike. Tiring, but great experience!! We will definitely not be able to experience this on our own so we are glad we came for this tour.
