★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 113 reviews · from $168Top rated

Spend about seven hours hiking Bukhansan National Park with a private guide such as Kim, Jimmy, or Chance Kim. Your guide adjusts the trail to your fitness, from a moderate temple route to the steep Baegundae summit, and provides hotel pickup and drop-off. Expect granite paths, cables near the top, Korean mountain stories, and time for photos and rest.

“I booked this hiking because I didn’t want to go alone, and I had Mr. Kim as my guide. He was very friendly and talkative. He had a nice chat while he was driving and during the hike. He was also considerate and let you go at your own pace. For the hike, it is quite challenging as it is pretty steep, and it is very hot during the summer, but also very rewarding as the view on top is amazing. Overall it was a great experience!”
