Fun and interesting day out - I was the only person who booked this tour on the day it was completed and they still accommodated for me. With that being said, I still had great conversation with my guide Doyour as well as him giving plenty of information about the mountain and Busan. The hike had plenty of photo opportunities which was always taken. The food and makgeolli after the hike was truly incredible and the conversation of the difference between cider in the UK and Korea inspired to try a bit of Korean cider with the makgeolli. I’d fully recommend this tour to anyone.

A truly satisfying 60th birthday awakening ! - Initially it was a winding bus ride up the mountain ! Later it became a good hike up the mountain. Great experience, great view and a great guide. I enjoyed the tour as food n wine were delicious too.

Mountain Views and Makgeolli - This was a great break from the city! I booked solo but overall there were a small group of us and Doo-yeol took us to some great spots in the mountain. Along the way he told anecdotes about the area and the history of the fortress and wall. The views from the spots we hiked to were really amazing and it was nice to get fresh air. It was also very humbling to see the local elder folk trekking up or down the trails as if it were nothing! The hike was moderately steep and a challenge for me personally but Doo-yeol and the group were kind and kept my pace. Afterwards we went back into the town had lunch and makgeolli. Good food and good company for the day, I'm glad I made the trip!
