A beautiful journey! - This was my third and last hike with Lee and it was an AWESOME way to close up my trip. The road is rocky and sloped but Lee always kept a close eye on me and offered me breaks. Reaching the top was one of the most rewarding experiences of my trip. The view is breathtaking but the temples at the top are worth the effort alone. You can feel how special and full of history those places are and how important they are for Korean people. Lee explained gave me background info about the temples and their history. We also got a delicious lunch (kimbap is a MUST try) and we played the same board game we played before (she even gifted me my own game set!). The way down was much easier and faster. Lee even helped me to get back home. To close up, after experiencing 3 hikes with Lee I HIGHLY recommend any of her tours. She is very professional and humane with her customers. She always kept an eye regarding my welfare and I never felt rushed, it was like going hiking with a true friend. Thank you very much Lee! :)
