Passeios por Naksansa Temple

Tino was the best guide ever. He was so great at explaining our tour sites and was very entertaining as well. My wife and I loved Seoraksan National Park (the 3rd waterfall hike is a doozy, though). There is so much more to see and explore. The seaside temple was beautiful! Tino was awesome with taking pictures of my wife and I. We had a wonderful time on this tour and would love to have Tino as our guide again.

We took a day trip to Mt. Seoraksan, Naksansa Temple, and Naksan Beach. It was a truly wonderful day, made even more enjoyable by our knowledgeable and helpful guide, Simon. The only downside was that the cable car was closed for maintenance, but we did the waterfall trail and the views were stunning. The timings had the right balance. We would definitely recommend this tour despite the early start and long day. Well worth it in our opinion.

The locations are almost 3 hours from Seoul but worth the travel. Our guide, Mr. Cho, was very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing interesting stories and local insights that made the long trip enjoyable and memorable.

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.

I've done so many tours in Korea over the last two trips, and this is hands down my favorite. Alpaca World was awesome, especially the alpaca stampede and feeding at 10 am. Nami Island is epic; I wish I had more time, but rent a bike for 30 minutes and ride around—it's stunning. The rail bike was such an incredible way to see the beauty of the Korean landscape, and the tunnels have a fun surprise. Thank you, Handsome Lanson.

The tour was very nice and included all the places I wanted to see, so I am very satisfied. Our tour guide was Christina; she had a lot of knowledge and was very organized. She was so nice and helped take pictures for all of us. It was a super hot day, and she managed the time well, and participants were very cooperative, so the trip ran on time. The bus was clean and very comfortable. At lunchtime, we could order ahead (on the bus) so we didn't have to wait for lunch when we arrived. The price was reasonable, and the food was delicious. Overall, I really recommend this tour.

I would 10/10 recommend this tour. As someone who has lived in Seoul for 3 years and is fluent in Korean I know for a fact I would not have been able to complete all of these activities in one day by myself. Hyony was the tour guide for my group and she was very kind and knowledgeable on the locations we went to as a Busan local. Even if you are joining this tour solo, you will have a great time.

Our visit to the DMZ was truly interesting! Guided by Andrew, we saw several significant places in the region in a short time, notably the observatory and the Third Tunnel. Andrew was always ready to answer our questions and was also very friendly! Highly recommended experience :)
