Bukhansan tours

Jinyoung is such a nice tour guide. Our hike was around 4 hours, very durable even for people with low fitness level. After the tour she took us to the restaurant with great Korean food too!

Four weeks ago to today, I went on the hiking tour up Bukhansan. Jak was the hiking leader for the small group of us. He communicated with me to confirm the meeting spot and met me there with other solo travellers. Given how it was my first day in Seoul, I wasn’t prepared for the difficulty of the hike and I definitely had underestimated the heat. However, Jak was patient and allowed us rest stops along the way and when we requested it as well. At areas where it was quite steep, Jak gave us alternate paths to take and if we wanted a challenge, he guided us along them. The views were exceptionally beautiful and we managed to visit three peaks which felt like the biggest achievement for me. Unfortunately I experienced some leg cramping between the 2nd and 3rd peak. Thanks to Jak who provided me with some meds to ease the cramps and also allowed time to hydrate before continuing. Jak also took lots of pictures for us along the way which showed the beauty of the mountain itself.

Jak is great and enthusiastic. Glad to talk about second hand bookshops.

Ethan was a wonderful guide and so well informed, not only on shamanism but also the history and culture of Korea. He emphasised having an open mind so you knew that the tour was a safe space! We were able to make a wish at the top of the mountain which was a lovely calming experience. Even if you are not a spiritual person, this tour will show you a new side to Seoul, you will be able to emerce yourself in nature, see beautiful views, learn about the history and stories of Korea.

Richard was a great tour leader. He explained the history and tension between North Korea and South Korea nicely. He also gave us many interesting facts and did an interesting quiz at the end of the trip. I got a choco pie for answering the question correctly, yeay! Thank you so much, Richard. I had so much fun and I appreciate your effort 😊🙏🏼

We had a wonderful day with Jenny as our tour guide. It was very hot, and the pace of the tour was quite high! Jenny constantly checked to make sure everyone was doing okay in the heat. Thanks to the fast pace of the tour, we were able to see a lot in one day. Definitely recommended!

What an unforgettable evening! The Seoul Night Tour was nothing short of magical. Our guide, Leo, made the experience truly special — he was warm, personable, and full of fascinating insights about each stop. His storytelling brought history and culture to life, making every site feel vibrant and meaningful. We explored the serene beauty of Changgyeong Palace under the night sky, soaked in the bustling energy of Gwangjang Market, admired the panoramic views from Naksan Park, and strolled along the calming waters of Cheongyecheon Stream. Each location offered ample time for photos, and even the light rain added a touch of charm rather than slowing us down. This tour is perfect for both groups and solo travelers — a seamless blend of history, culture, and atmosphere. The pacing was just right, giving us time to savor each moment without ever feeling rushed. Honestly, I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Mr Patrick is an excellent tour guide, even shared me a tofu soup 😅! He showed us a good spot to overlook the Eunpyong Hanok Village. Gave us knowledge about the temples and the buddhism. Overall our tour is excellent! Would recommend this to anyone we know that's visiting South Korea! 😁

Today was so fun and we got tons of great pictures. So far in Korea I’ve been playing the part of “tour guide”, but it’s so much less stressful to have everything planned out as it was. We followed a set schedule but we were given some options at some of the locations. I recommend paying ₩3,000 extra at the tomb mounds to see the artifacts in the one that has been excavated. We opted to explore the street in Gyeongju instead of seeing the other mounds. There are lots of cute shops and street food stalls! Joseph was knowledgeable when we had questions, and was very friendly and patient! I was surprised how fast he learned our names. I’m happy we chose this tour as part of our honeymoon!
