This tour was quite interesting. The best part of the tour was the Seoraksan National park. We really enjoyed the cable car and the short hike up the mountain with very beautiful views. Ki was a great guide. Would recommend this tour.

I think I his is easily one of the best things I did in my Seoul tour. The trek was fantastic, the island was very picturesque, and the garden had the origins of Korean bliss instilled within it. Our tour guide Ki did a splendid job explaining various historical information, guiding us for efficient exploration, and is very jovial and witty! I highly recommend this experience.

Mt. Seorak

Cindy_M, Sep 2026
Get ready to hike because it is a little trick up to the starting point if you park in the parking lot down at the base but that's okay because it is a hike to mt Seorak starting entrance. It's beautiful and it's worth it. Our guide was great! We had a small group and since it was a small group we got to know the people we were traveling with, for the most part. I would recommend it definitely to anyone who wanted to go.

Meaningful journey

An absolutely beautiful day trip and one of the most memorable days of our Korea trip! Patrick was a lovely guide. The combination of the stunning landscapes, peaceful surroundings and three completely different experiences is a must do on the Korea tour.

Patrick is an excellent tour guide!

Family Bonding in Seoul’s Nature Parks

Eric_a, Sep 2026
It was an amazing trip to all 3 fabulous nature locations immersed in beautiful creation. Wish we could see the mountain in autumn & take the zip line at Nami Island-a bucket list next time. Patrick is a great tour guide entertaining us with an interesting mix of Korean culture, sights, history & politics. Really friendly & thoughtful to keep us laughing & well taken care of. Thank you so much for a wonderful day well spent with family.

ChongAe_S, Sep 2026
The locations were perfect but the guide was not explaining much about what we will see and lunch place h took us to where we were responsible to pay was not very good.

Great tour!

Shanna_W, Sep 2026
Great tour, lots to see in one day. Andrew was friendly and accommodating and remembered who was who. Would have liked to have seen the garden during the day time, that was a bummer. Overall, great tour!

3 really beautiful stops....

James_A, Sep 2026
3 really beautiful stops. Comfy ride. Great guide. I absolutely highly recommend. My personal highlight was the national park.

Best of Korea

The visit to Sarok Park was the highlight with spectacular views. The Zip line experience at Nami Island was another highlight now ticked off the bucket list.Full day of experience

Ki was an excellent tour...

Joseph_D, Aug 2026
Ki was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable of the three sites we saw on this tour. He made excellent recommendations not only for the tour but also for our lunch. He allowed us to enjoy the three sites yet kept our group on time and on schedule. Thank you Ki!

The guide Patrick was...

Dolores_O, Aug 2026
The guide Patrick was fantastic and he has scheduled everything since the previous day. We have spent a lovely day.

Andrew is GREAT

Shelby_C, Aug 2026
This was a very long, albeit very fun, tour. Moderately self-guided so if you want more direction, I'd choose something different. I enjoyed having time to move at our own pace and time to stop and take pictures. Our guide Andrew was great. He gave us plenty of suggestions at each location and answered all of our questions. I was very happy with this tour, even though we went on a rainy day. Be aware: this tour involves a LOT of walking and an ample amount of drive time to get to each destination.

5 stars for Danny!

Dhruv_K, Aug 2026
Danny was an excellent tour operator — he offered to take pictures of us (which were amazing), was super patient and accommodating, and overall ensured our experience was delightful!

Yulia_R, Jul 2026
Patrick was an amazing guide! Friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient. Thank you for waiting for me when I got lost in Seoul! 😄 Seoul sometimes feels like the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, and without Patrick I might still be wandering around looking for the exit. He made the whole tour fun, interesting, and stress-free. I learned a lot, had a great time, and would absolutely recommend this tour—and especially Patrick—to anyone visiting Korea!

Amazing

Joy_S, Jul 2026
Very nice and organized ! Great amazing view at the mt seorak at the cable car! Patrick is very good guide! Highly recommended! Speaks fluent English

Outstanding Tour and an Exceptional Guide – Kim Made the Day!

Max_P, Jul 2026
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Tour and an Exceptional Guide – Kim Made the Day! Our day trip to Mt. Seorak, Nami Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm was fantastic, and a big part of that was our guide, Kim (Seongbae Kim). From the very beginning, Kim was organized and professional. He sent clear instructions the evening before, including the meeting location, weather forecast, itinerary, and helpful tips so everyone knew exactly what to expect. Throughout the day, Kim made us feel safe and well taken care of. The transportation was smooth, the schedule was well managed, and he got our group to every destination efficiently while allowing enough time to enjoy each stop. What really stood out was how informative he was. As we traveled, he shared interesting facts about Korean history, culture, and the significance of each destination. His explanations gave much more meaning to the beautiful scenery and helped us appreciate the places we visited beyond just taking photos. Kim was friendly, approachable, and happy to answer questions throughout the tour. His calm, professional demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re considering this Viator tour, I highly recommend it—and if you’re fortunate enough to have Kim as your guide, you’re in excellent hands. He truly helped make this one of the highlights of my trip to South Korea.
