Sinheungsa Temple tours

I joined a tour to Seoraksan, Nami Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm, and Andrew was our guide. He drove us safely and comfortably the entire day and gave a truly spectacular tour. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to keep everyone engaged.. and he’s extremely funny on top of that! Our day wouldn’t have been the same without him. His energy, guidance, and sense of humor made the whole experience unforgettable. I’m really glad he was our guide!

It was a fun day with the group to Seoraksan, cold but worth it! Steven is an amazing driver, the van is really warm, and so easy to fall asleep after a full day tour. Took a lot of pictures, met new friends, perfect day! Totally recommend this tour!

The guide Zoey really knows her stuff. She checked the weather forecast and rearrange the itinerary which made it a very memorable trip. I got to see the snow on Seoraksan and it was magical. It started snowing when we entered the region and snow stopped with sunshine after we left. Thank u so much Zoey. Really appreciate that. She also well-explained and shared info about each place. Highly highly recommended!

We went to the Seoraksan with a new Staria van on the East Coast in the morning. The Seoraksan cable car ride was a highlight of the tour. The ride itself takes about 7 minutes and offers stunning panoramic views of the mountains, Sokcho city, and the East Sea. The cable car is very convenient, making it easy for people of all ages to reach the top without a strenuous hike At the top, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Ulsanbawi Rock, fortress ruins, and the surrounding landscape. In winter, the entire mountain is covered in snow, creating a magical, peaceful atmosphere. There are also snack shops where you can enjoy treats like churros and fish cakes while taking in the scenery Afternoon, we visited Alpaca World in Hongcheon and had a wonderful experience. The park was spacious, with plenty of benches and rest areas throughout, making it comfortable for families and visitors of all ages.  The highlight was interacting closely with alpacas-feeding them, and even taking them on a walk. The alpacas were gentle and friendly, and it was fun to feel them eat from my hand. Besides alpacas, there were many other animals to see, like rabbits, guinea pigs, capybaras, and birds. Feeding the birds in the garden was a unique and joyful experience.  There were also fun activities for kids, such as coloring spaces and a stamp tour around the park. The park’s scenery was beautiful, especially from the on-site café, which had a great mountain view. Overall, Alpaca World is a relaxing and enjoyable place, perfect for families or anyone who loves animals and nature.  I would definitely recommend it for a day trip outside Seoul. For our guide, Mark is a very skillful and knowledgeable guide, most of all, very kind.

Charlie was so so lovely and the day was seamless! Recommend investing in doing it this way as all the transportation being taken care of made the day so hassle free! We were lucky enough to get snow <3

Such a serene place to be on a winter trip! Didn’t regret coming here with our teens! Good thing we were prepared for a bit of a hike 😁 Apologies for the photos, it didn’t give justice to how beautiful it is being there personally, being able to see Mt. Seoraksan and Naksansa temple. Meet up at Dongdaemun was a breeze, had to go early not to miss the bus. The guide was so friendly and informative, always giving his best to give details about the places we are going to and guiding us which areas would fit our likes. Driver was driving us safely. Thanks so much to this team! Definitely a must side trip, worth your time if you’re into temples and hike, also have a spare day to spend. Recommended! Will come back hopefully during spring season next time. 😁 Thanks so much to our national treasure guide and driver 😁

This tour was worth the money. We got to see the beauty of Gangwon, especially the cherry blossoms. The good thing about this trip is that it wasn't too crowded, so it was really nice to take pictures and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. I would also like to commend our guide, Liam, who is good at speaking English and Chinese. We didn’t have any problems during our tour because of him (Thank you, Liam) and also to our driver for safely bringing us to our destination. I would definitely book this trip again next time!

One of my best experiences in Seoul! Our guide, Ms. Hwa, was incredibly nice and accommodating. Alpaca World was such a joy, and the Rail Bike was a lot of fun, but Nami Island was definitely the highlight of the trip for me! I highly recommend this tour—it's perfect for solo travelers, but I’m sure it would be just as enjoyable for groups, too.
