Excellent Adventure - Great time. The views were spectacular. The food was amazing, especially the pancakes. My first time trying rice wine and it was also amazing. Very highly recommended and would absolutely do again.

Great hike and lunch - Amazing day with Hugu (spelling?!). There were just four of us. We met at 9am and road the bus together half way up the mountain. The hike up to the peak was fairly easy with stunning views at the top. We had an authentic lunch in the village with rice wine and Hugu generously answered our questions about life in Korea as a local. Highly recommended

A great experience - We had a great time on this tour. The best part was our guide who was easy-going, informational, and funny (not sure how to spell it, but he taught us to pronounce it as “two-your”). The hike was scenic and not too demanding (luckily the weather was cool and breezy). We especially enjoyed the lunch and rice wine tasting at the end of the experience. We welcomed the physical activity and would recommend this tour to those looking for a reprieve from the city!

Amazing Busan Hike: Perfect Weather, Stunning Views, and Great Company - I had a great hike with my guide, Do Your! The weather was perfect and the hike entertaining and with beautiful views. I was super glad that I decided to go hiking while in Busan, it was a great change of pace but not too strenuous. It was also a great opportunity to talk with my guide about life in Korea and abroad. Of course, the post-hike meal at a local restaurant was amazing as well! Next time I am visiting, I'll book again.

Can’t go wrong with hiking, drinking, touring, and eating, all in 4 hours! - The rain couldn’t dampen our spirits on this very fun experience with our great guide, Hugyou. We hiked, visited a temple, and had a delicious meal in a local restaurant. The cherry blossoms in bloom were so fragrant and lovely. Oh, and we loved the unique regional rice wine!

ガイドブックには載ってない釜山の名所 - とてもフレンドリー&親切なガイドHugYou(ホギュ)さんの方のおかげでとてもいい時間になりました。 自分では絶対に見つけられないような場所(山・お昼ごはん)に行けてとても満足です!一人旅にも最適だと思います。 集合場所も釜山の中心地の西面(ソミョン)駅から地下鉄で15分ほどで、分かりやすかったです。 予約後の集合場所の確認や当日は英語または韓国語でのやり取りになりますが、翻訳機&簡単な英語OKの方なら大丈夫かなと思います! ハイキング(登山)なので、スニーカーと山は寒いので暖かい服を1枚持って行くことをおすすめします。 初めて釜山に来る人、何回も来たことある人、両方におすすめです! I highly recommend all visitors to Busan who want to explore the city like locals. 한국분들 한테도 강추!

A nice relaxing hike with a beautiful scenery - It was a fairly easy hike with picturesque views in a great company. Hug has gone above and beyond for everyone to have a great time. The hike itself is about 2-2.5 hours long. The lunch was at a nice little restaurant in a local village with plenty of tasty Korean food. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Busan!
