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.

We had an overall wonderful experience on our trip to Pocheon. The logistics were seamless—we were picked up exactly on time, and the vehicle provided was very clean and comfortable, which made the drive enjoyable.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Jenny. She was incredibly accommodating and shared insightful details about every location we visited. It was also impressive to see her switch effortlessly between Chinese, and English; her language skills made communication easy for everyone and ensured no one missed out on the history of the sites.
It was a fun, well-organized day, and I would highly recommend this tour (and Jenny!) to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Pocheon.

This program is very worthwhile. Mr. Jo Dong-myeong, the driver, was excellent, punctual, polite, and provided great recommendations. The lunch was delicious and offered a local atmosphere.

I’m truly grateful to Jak for going ahead with the tour even though I was the only participant. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional throughout the hike. He adjusted the pace to suit my comfort level, making the entire experience both enjoyable and manageable. He also takes really nice photos of you so you can just focus on the hike. I’ve been on several hiking tours before, and this is by far one of my favourites. You’ll be in great hands with Jak, and the breathtaking views at the top are absolutely worth the climb!

Jiyoung is a great tour guide. I unfortunatley injured my finger during the hike, and she was attentive in helping me tend to the wound. The trek was more challenging than I had anticipated, but the breathtaking views made it all worth it.

trip was smooth as driver/guide was prompt and drove us safely to and from Everland. everland itself is beautiful with lots of rides and experiences to offer. one small comment though is i hope that the ride back to myeongdong is after the fireworks as its a missed opportunity not to offer that.

The itinerary only included two places, but since they were in the Seoul suburbs, this schedule was just right; we didn't get back too late. We got to ride the luge five times, and the food at the park's restaurants was delicious. Our tour guide was punctual and very friendly; besides introducing the surrounding area, they chatted with us like friends. On the way back, they asked where we wanted to go and drove us directly there. It was truly a wonderful trip and highly recommended!
