This was such a lovely change of pace from exploring downtown Seoul on our own- our guides were super friendly and informative while also giving us our own time to explore. The hike was beautiful and serene, the food was great, and the spa was the perfect way to end the day.
Thank you for joining our tour service and glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with my tour guide! Hope you have good memory in Korea! Best Regards Harry
A great experience, but you definitely need to be fit enough to go up some very steep inclines and a lot of steps. We did it the day after snow, so it was incredibly beautiful, but very slippery, so we definitely needed sturdy shoes. There are no toilets on the way up apart from in Temple (you go up in a different direction for a part to the temple and then back down again to rejoin trail to the summit) so make sure you go prior to commencement! Lunch was super delicious. The bathouse was lovely and relaxing. I had read a helpful tip to pack a spare pair of undies and a top for after the sauna, because putting back on your sweaty clothes you wore hiking wouldn't have been the nicest.

This was a fantastic tour! Jones was incredibly friendly, patient, and fun. He planned a terrific day for us, and also was happy to make any adjustments we wanted. I highly recommend this tour and our entire family (2 parents, girls ages 20, 15, and 11) loved it.
Such a fun day exploring and experiencing all Seoul has to offer. Started the day with a hike in Bukhansan National Park up to a Buddhist temple and then at a lookout with a great view of Seoul below. Next was a traditional Korean bbq for lunch, and the best I’d ever had! Finally we ended the day at the spa where we spent time in saunas, relaxing and a traditional Korean body scrub. You must experience this once in your life! Jones (our tour guide) was so kind and knowledgeable, sharing lots of information on South Korean history and fun facts along the way. Perfect way to spend our one full day in Seoul!
The cleaning was very good, everything was impeccable. Narcisa Etchavarria cleaned the 3 rooms we have every day. 3513, 3503 and 3504
Great tour! Our tour guide (vincent) really made our tour personalized, was very knowledgable and a nice person to chat with during our experience. The Korean sauna is definitely a “cultural experience.” The sauna rooms were awesome and scrub services was nice but the facilities were not super super clean by American standards. I’d do it again though and I can be very picky lol. Just let yourself enjoy the local experience.
This was probably my favorite tour of our whole trip. It was such a diverse and active day. We hiked Mt. Bukhansan which was challenging and fun. We had amazing views of the city that made it worth the trek. We then had the Korean Sauna experience which was unlike anything else I had ever done. It was a little unusual at first but was relaxing and rejuvenating. Our BBQ lunch was delicious. At the end, we had some time so Harry dropped up off at a market to explore for an hour and then offered to drop us off anywhere we wanted in the city. Harry was very enjoyable company and was really accommodating. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Seoul.
