Perfect for solo... - Perfect for solo travellers or for travellers who dont want to be part of huge group tour. Felt as a private tour since there were only 2 of us.

Five star hiking experience - This was an excellent tour. There was only the two of us on the hike as the third person who had booked cancelled. Nothing was too much trouble for Hug You; he was willing to adjust the walk to our pace, answered every question we asked with patience and consideration and provided lots of information about the walk and Korean lifestyle. Lunch was delicious and it was interesting to hear the customs associated with the food that we ate. Hug You’s kind and gentle nature shone through as well as his love of hiking in the Korean countryside.

Book This Tour Now! It’s amazing! - One word…Amazing! This small tour is great to get out of the dense tourist areas and into nature. There are fantastic hike is not too strenuous, and there is time to rest and take it slow if you need. There are fantastic views from the lookouts. The lunch after the hike is lovely cooked by a lovely Korean lady who grows all her own vegetables that are used in the dishes. The food was out of this world and was very authentic and tasty. Our guide was so good, very knowledgeable, helpful and kind - we learnt so much in such a small time. Book this tour now! It’s been a highlight for us.

Excellent Hike and Guide - Highly recommend this hike with this tour guide! HugYou is very knowledgeable, sweet, and fun. He kept us at a good pace and was very mindful of everyone's capacities. Some people in our group needed more time to complete the hike and he was was very accommodating of their needs. It was a really wonderful environment to be in, and that was thanks to his personality and leadership. The hike itself wasn't difficult and it had the right amount of somewhat challenging points. Definitely good for hikers of all levels. The views were stunning and the food/wine was delicious! Very much worth the price and time!!

Amazing experience! - A beautiful hike with amazing food after! Hugyou was a great guide and shared so much information about Korean culture with us. We also loved learning from the other travelers in our group. The hike was not too difficult but may be challenging for those that are not accustomed to hiking. You also take a bus to the starting point of the hike so make sure you bring your Tmoney card. Overall amazing experience!
