Visiting Mount Seoraksan is a must when you have at least 1 day in Korea. Very particular views and a worthy walk to the stunning waterfalls. The temple creates a peaceful environment
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed our one-day Seoraksan tour. I hope you to enjoy real hike with a lot of time. Thanks, Bergen Park
Bergen is a wonderful tour guide! Scheduled work on the gondola caused us to change the itinerary a bit, but when we arrived today, the gondola was working and he very quickly pivoted and was able to accommodate the changes. Highly recommended!!!
I was so happy that your family enjoyed the beautiful Mt. Seoraksan a lot during the tour. I hope to see you someday later again. Thanks. Bergen Park
It was a gorgeous day in the mountains by the seaside, guided by Mr. Kim, a very nice and considerate person with a fantastic sense of humor and good (safe) driving skills. His stories about the daily life of an ordinary person in South Korea made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will treasure forever. Highly recommended.
It is a pleasure for me to hear that you enjoyed our Mt. Seoraksan tour with our guide Kim. I hope to meet you again for some of our other tours in the future. Thanks, Bergen Park
Wonderful scene and good tour guy with very expert experience. Mr Bergen Park is good in English so we fully understand and reliable. We really fell in love with Mt. Seoraksan and cannot wait to visit again during fall.
The trail was not easy, but all of your family walked very well under so hot weather. If you visit Mt. Seoraksan again in autumn season, you will meet the most beautiful autum color. I hope to see you again someday later. Thanks, Bergen Park
Unfortunately we had a windy day and the cable car didn't work. We didn't see to much from the NP, but our guide, Michael took us to Nami Island instead and we spent a very pleasant day with him.
Because of strong wind, we couldn't take cable car at Mt.Seoraksan. However, it is pleasure to hear that you enjoyed Nami island tour with a lot of pleasure. Thanks, Bergen Park
Mr Bergen Park is an amazing tour guide who can really help you understand the history of Korea and how the country was able to turn from poverty to prosperity.
I was so happy that your family enjoyed the beautiful Mt. Seoraksan a lot during the tour. Also, we were very lucky that raining started after the tour. I hope your family will always be happy. Thanks, Bergen Park
