Seoul: Guided City Wall Sunset Hike with Korean Dinner

1.Guided City Wall Sunset Hike with Korean Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 227 reviews · 3 hours · from $65Our pick

Hike Seoul’s old fortress wall at sunset, stop for a city-view drink, then share a traditional Korean dinner with a local guide.

“This tour was a lot of fun and well worth the time. Jun was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable and personable. The hike was not too challenging and provided beautiful views of Seoul. The cafe during the tour was a nice pit stop and allowed the group to explore Ihwa Mural Village. Aside from Jun and the awesome group of tourists that I was fortunate to be joined by, the dinner after the hike was the highlight of the itinerary for me. If you're interested in this tour based on the description, do yourself a favor and book it!”

Climb Seoul’s Bukhansan Peak with a private mountain guide, custom route, hotel pickup, temple stops, and sweeping city views.

“Mr. Chance Kim is excellent. After booking the peak hike, I had second thoughts that I would be able to do it. Mr. Kim was assuring and chose a route I could handle and it was still a tough challenge. He taught my family a lot about nature and history while keeping us entertained as we hiked to the top. The temple visit is a must see! Lots of stairs but Mr. Kim kept saying “you can do it!” And I did :) highly recommend!”

“My hiking experience with Min was really nice! I would definitely recommend hiking shoes for this hike though cause it is slippery no matter how great the weather is that day. But all in all it was great, I was the only person that day so she really adapted the tour to me. My stomach wasn’t that great that day so we decided to eat somewhere else in the city and get something that was easy on my stomach. She was even so sweet to take me on a sunset hike a few days later and showed me a few places with great food! I highly recommend it!”
