Fantastic 5.0
Good 101 excursions from Seoul that cover 3 places: Alpaca, Rail Bike & Nami Islands. The trip took almost 12 hours, including travel time, so it was pretty compact but still great for escaping the city & got in some exercise too :). Alex, the tour guide is a nice guy, very engaging & handsome too 😜🫣. He was attentive to details & as a Muslim, I thank Alex & tour agency because the Halal food options were also taken care of.

We had a fantastic day with our tour guide Max. He was such a pleasant and entheusiastic guide. His communication with us was 10 out of 10. He gave us a clear overview of our day and filled us with his knowledge at each area. He was so calm and really wanted us to take it all in and get many pictures and know the background of the culture. We had plently of picture and exploring opportunities and our safety was also paramount to him. He was considetate of our toilet and snack breaks. He was so happy to have us in his country and wanted us to know more about it and gave personal recommendations of sites and restaurants to visit. Any queries we had during our time here he was happy for us to contact him for any info we wanted! How kind of him! We had a fantastic coach as well as coach driver who was puntual at all our destinations and drove very carefully in the rain and traffic for the 3 hour drives each way. Thanks Max for making it such a fabulous day!

Went solo but I meet buddies during the tour. The tour guide, Ruby 2 is very kind & approachable even days after our tour ended. Ruby 2 also take good pictures, she will instruct you on what poses to do, the angle & where to stand/sit. Our schedule coincided w/ rain but we still enjoyed. Fortunately we were still able to ride the cable car at Mt. Seorak.

Despite taking the tour during a heatwave, we really enjoyed the places we visited. The scenery is beautiful. Perhaps I would skip the Seoraksan cable car and instead take a nice walk around the area; the place is very beautiful. Patrick, our guide, was very kind and friendly. Around 1:00 PM, we stopped to eat grilled chicken, which was good and affordable. I 100% recommend the tour. It's true that there isn't much time to see everything, but I think it's sufficient.

We had an unforgettable experience with Marcos of MYK Tour! He gave us a wonderful tour of Seoraksan National Park, the seafood market, and Naksansa Temple. Marcos was fun, knowledgeable, warm, and kind throughout the day. Our family feels truly blessed to have seen such beautiful sights with such a thoughtful and enthusiastic guide. Highly recommend him and MYK Tour for anyone visiting the area!

The hike was fun! Views were great! Our guide Steve even taught us some history. Would recommend this if you like the outdoors. Hike wasn't too difficult... just be ready for stairs :)

Parking is available, and although there's a drawback with the elevator, we didn't find it too inconvenient since we parked on an upper floor and walked. My parents were very satisfied with the breakfast.

Demand peaks in May and November, when bookings run roughly 58% above a typical month, while March is much quieter—about 69% below—so travellers from Australia should book early for May and November peak periods and expect easier availability and fewer crowds in March. Based on Klook historical booking data.

How far ahead should you book?

Plan ahead so you don’t miss out

What to know before visiting Sokcho

Quick snapshot of Sokcho-si and what to expect

Sokcho-si is a coastal getaway where tours, events and water-park fun shape most visitor bookings. Demand has clear highs and lows through the year, so the city alternates between busy festival-like peaks and much quieter stretches.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows the busiest months are May and November, while March is typically the quietest month. Prices drift very little for much of the year but spike in March (typically the priciest month) and hit their lowest typical level in June — roughly a quarter cheaper than March according to Klook trends. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for June or the quieter shoulder months; for peak-season atmosphere choose May or November. Note that demand and price don’t always move together here: the biggest booking peaks aren’t exactly when prices are highest.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Australian travellers tend to book around two weeks ahead on average, with many last-minute bookings possible about four days out and some travellers securing plans even earlier. If you’re travelling in busy months (May or November), consider locking in key tours and events a couple of weeks in advance; for short-notice trips the city still offers flexibility. Use Klook to compare typical options and secure the experiences you want with confidence.
