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!

My favourite part of my Korea trip - I cannot stress enough for special this experience was. Hug You was so kind, charismatic and funny, and made the hike super enjoyable. He was very informative about the history of the mountain and Busan which was super interesting. He took us alternate routes to get the best views which made the hike feel quite personable, and the views were just breathtaking! Visiting the local village in the mountain for lunch and makgeoli was the perfect ending to an incredibly memorable and lovely day! Could not recommend this hiking tour enough, it was definitely my favourite part of my trip to Korea so far. Thank you, Hug You!

Great Hike! - HugYou was an amazing guide. I had really great conversations with him and the other person on the hike. The views of the city were really great and the rice wine and food we had in the village after was some of the best I had on my trip. Highly recommend this if you want to do something that gets you out of the city.
