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.

What to know before visiting Sokcho

Sokcho-si at a glance

Sokcho-si’s top bookings on Klook are for tours, events & shows and water-park experiences, and demand varies strongly through the year. Bookings peak in November and dip in February, so the city’s calendar alternates between busy late-autumn weeks and much quieter winter windows.

Best months to visit and how prices move

Klook data shows demand peaks in November while February is the quietest month. Prices on Klook drift down through summer into August, which Klook bookings typically find to be the cheapest month, then spike in December, which is usually the priciest month. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for August or other summer months; if you want peak-season atmosphere, visit in November. Note that demand and price don’t move perfectly together here: November is busiest but the largest price jump appears in December.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Travellers from Hong Kong typically book about two weeks ahead, with many locking in plans well over a month in advance and some last-minute options around four days out. If you need flexibility, many experiences can still be arranged a short time before travel, but for popular November dates consider booking earlier on Klook to secure preferred tours and shows.
