Seoraksan / Naejangsan Autumn Foliage Day Tour from Seoul

A full day trip with Patrick the tour guide. Great knowledge & time management. But think more time is needed for seoraksan. Cable car ride too costly as we can only spend 30mins hiking up photos & queeing for the ride.

Naejangsan is such a beautiful mountain, and we were especially lucky to have caught the autumn foliage! Yohan was a great guide as well, he shared helpful tips on the spots to head in priority, and that made our journey a lot easier especially with the crowd.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves mountain views, ocean views, and seafood! 🍁 Tour Guide: Our guide and driver was Yohan. He speaks fluent English, can communicate in Chinese, and is very detail-oriented and dedicated. The schedule was well-organized, allowing us to fully enjoy every attraction. Thank you, Yohan 😆 🍁 Scenery: Seoraksan has stunning fall foliage and unique rock formations, making for a very pleasant walk. Most of the tourists were locals, and the seafood scallion pancake sold nearby was delicious. Sokcho Market and the beach were also fantastic. Yohan led us through the market and introduced various specialty foods. In the end, we chose a crab specialty restaurant to have snow crab—it was delicious and reasonably priced!

🌄 Our day trip to Seoraksan was absolutely amazing and very informative! Ruby/Yunjoo guided us perfectly throughout the trip — she helped plan an efficient and enjoyable itinerary, recommending the best spots to visit in Seoraksan National Park. After exploring the beautiful mountain, we continued to Sokcho Market, where Ruby suggested delicious local foods for us to try. She even accompanied us to the main street. After that we headed to our last stop, Sokcho Beach. The weather and the view were just perfect, and Ruby kindly helped us take beautiful photos to remember the day. As a tourist unfamiliar with Korea, I was really grateful for Ruby’s help. She not only guided us throughout the trip but also shared many great local recommendations — from food and souvenirs to cosmetic shops and hidden gems. Thank you so much, Ruby, for your kindness, knowledge, and hospitality! You truly made our trip unforgettable. 💕

~Seongsu (Sean) Kim our guide gives clear instruction & is very helpful. itinerary is abit tight due to long travelling hour. bus driver driving skill is abit too good for my weak heart. overall experience is good except for the last location to the garden, not so worthy. lunch was given like 30-35 mins to finish a big pot of chicken, too rush.,

I had a great time! The van we rode was way better than the usual tour bus type. Baek, our guide, was friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the history facts he shared with us about Seoraksan, the sokcho fish market, and the food recommendations in Seoul. I do wish we got more time at Seoraksan, though. It is sooo beautiful. I guess I’ll just have to go back to hike the other trails. :)

Patrick our tour guide was amazing. we could finish all the spots without any hassle. He also stopped at the best restaurant for lunch around Nami island.

It was a very happy day. The tour guide SEAN was very nice and friendly. He was very responsible in doing everything and recommended what delicious food we could eat. Our English was not very good, and SEAN would use a translator to pass on important information to us every time he finished speaking, making us feel relaxed and without language barriers. The entire tour schedule was also very well arranged, and the itinerary was rich. I highly recommend it to everyone!

The tour guide was punctual, polite, drove smoothly and safely, provided clear explanations, and was very attentive. The autumn foliage scenery at Naejangsan was beautiful and great for taking photos. If you plan to walk down the mountain from the cable car return point, we recommend wearing hiking boots to prevent slips. For the return shuttle bus, it is advisable to allow a bit more time to walk back, as you can enjoy the spectacular autumn leaves along the way and have plenty of time to appreciate the food at the service area. This was a pleasant and satisfying day tour! 😍😍

enjoyed the autumn foliage and loved jeonju hanok village. just wish we had more time, but the place was really far so we had to make use of the time given to us. our driver and guide SB was awesome!
