Great value for money - The planning and coordination of this tour were well done. Most of us waited at the shuttle bus terminal at the Namsan Yejang public parking lot. We left at 8 am sharp to pick up a few more individuals at another location before heading to Mount Seorak and Naksansa Temple. Our tour guide, Alice, provided us with sufficient info on what to expect all along the way. She also gave us recommendations for trails to take and restaurants to try when we got back. Although each way took about three hours, there's a 10-minute pit stop at the halfway point. There's enough time for a restroom break and for you to grab a coffee. I wouldn't recommend picking up anything else. There wasn't a lot of overwhelming info and there's definitely a good rest time on the bus. My tip for any travelers (whether you're traveling alone or in a group) is to find another fellow traveler once you're off the bus to explore and have a meal as a mini group. It's more fun that way. This trip was definitely a great value for money.

5 stars, fully recommend! - We had an amazing experience on this well-organized to the detail trip, which offered many choices. Our excellent guide Richard created a group chat via link which proved to be invaluable. The pick up was effortless, Richard provided excellent tips and knowledge, with insightful information on Korean culture from Buddhism to temporary k-culture. Above all, our guide always met us with a smile and took care of us. Both Naksana temple and Seoraksan National Park were stunning. The restaurant choice for lunch was phenomenal. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to Richard, who found a lost valuable item and took the time to deliver it back to us, showing us Korean kindness and honesty.

Must do trip from Seoul! - So glad we added this trip to our agenda. Stunningly gorgeous views both in Seoraksan and Naksana Temple. Well worth the long ride. Our guide Mia was great.

Mt Seorak and Naksansa - Love the experience from your local pickup near your hotel. Guided tour with Sheri that spoke English made the experience easy. Sheri thank you for recommending the waterfall hike and the gondola to the top of the mountain. The views are spectacular. I would like to go back soon. One more thing Nakansa Tempe has spectacular views from the coastline it’s a must visit spot.

A very nice tour in terms of scenery and hikes. - The places are very nice, scenic, nice temples and walks. However it was very windy so that the cable for safety reason stopped running for 2 hrs approximately as we arrived. Most of us missed it. As far as the local KTour company, the guide was just okay,a young lady who was not full of all the knowledge in history. I was expecting she would tell us some basic info on Seoul or Korea history etc, on the bus going out to the destination which was about 2.5 hrs long. She was quiet, unfortunately we didn’t learn much about Seoul. As I am frequent tourist, comparing with most of countries I have visited on a one day tour the guide usually did better job than this company guide. But I had to say she was friendly and very helpful in assisting me with booking another tour on the way. And I suggest the bus should offer passengers a bottle of water at least and missing a trash can in the bus.

Highly recommended, with a couple of minor tweaks - The trip completely fulfilled my desire to visit the national park easily and to see the temple. We had 3.5 in the park and were given 4 options of things we could do (by ourselves); a cable car to the top of Mount Seorak-dong, a visit to the temple and a choice of two walks both around 5k return, one more arduous. It was suggested we’d manage one walk and one other thing in the time. I managed the easier walk, temple and cable car with time to spare and I walk slowly( I didn’t go for lunch though). We were allowed 90 minutes at Naksana which I thought was too long, as I did both routes in 40. Everyone was back for the bus early. It’s a long day, but I’d recommend it definitely.
