Meet Koa or Sam at Seodaemun Station for market snacks, a 90-minute hike along Inwangsan’s 600-year-old fortress, and a sunset view over Seoul. Finish with optional noodles, dumplings, and makgeolli. Vegan options, raincoats, and winter crampons are available.

3.City Hike London (with Borough Market lunch break)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $66

Follow local guide Paul from Waterloo Station across Westminster, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul’s, Borough Market, the Tower of London, and Tower Bridge. This 4.5-hour walk covers just over 10km, with photo stops, London stories, a 45-minute market break, and an optional pub stop.

“This tour was absolutely amazing!!! It ended up only being me and the tour guide, Paul. I was worried that it was going to get canceled, but thankfully it didn’t. Paul took me all around London, keeping the entire tour. I was so happy because I wanted to get out and see the sights right away after arriving in London so it’s an accurate description to say that you will see everything…you definitely will! Honestly; this tour well exceeded all of my expectations and I’m very grateful to Paul for making this happen! Thank you so much!!! :)”
