Seoraksan trip during end of October 2024 - Benny was a great guide, he picked us up from our hotel at 7:30am and we had a 20min break at the service station before arriving at Seoraksan National Park. It did take over 3 hours due to traffic, but it was a comfortable journey. We went to see the nearby buddhist temple, then had bibimbap for lunch before going on the cable car. Afterwards, we headed into Sokcho and visited the fish market which my mum loved. Lastly we climbed some stairs to an obsevation deck and finished with a sunset view at a pavillion. Benny dropped us off to our accommodation at Sokcho. A very long day and all slowly paced for my mum which I appreciated. Thank you!

Jimmy was a pleasure to talk to. He made the long day go by in a flash. - The contrast between the great views from up on the mountain and those at the sea were amazing in their own way. Truly beautiful.

Don’t miss this tour! - This trip is a not to miss opportunity to see the real South Korea away from the hustle bustle of Seoul. Although it’s a long drive, the drive is totally worth it. The mountain scenery is spectacular! Our guide, Kim, was excellent and provided thorough and entertaining commentary.

Scenic Drive and Gorgeous Mountains - This was a very pleasant tour. Our guide Alfonso was super and the drive through the hills from Seoul was quite pretty. The National Park itself was gorgeous and we had a beautiful day for the cable car ride to the top for awesome views. There was also a nice temple and a statue of buddha at the bottom and some nice arched bridges across a stream that were all photogenic. All in all a very nice day trip from Seoul.

Inhaled the Best View - Mt. Seorak still resonates in our memory. Mr. Chance Kim shared the best views at the East Sea and Mt. Seorak. The drive to both places was so scenic and just beautiful. This is a tour that you can take again and again. Mt. Seorak is a must to visit. We took this private tour because we wanted our tour guide to pay full attention as we were so interested in the history of Korea. We appreciated Mr. Kim's candor in sharing all he knew. We have never had a tour guide so proud and invested in his country. We would come back and visit Korea in the near future. Thank you Mr Kim for your service to your country.

Superb tour - Superb private tour with our excellent guide Kim. We got the cable car at Mount Seorak, and then a short hike for brilliant views of the mountains and whole area. We had a nice lunch in a local restaurant in Sokcho, beautiful city on the east coast, and had some time to explore this very scenic area. Highly recommend this tour for a day out of Seoul to experience the natural beauty of South Korea with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
