Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Good value for what's included.

Jeju Island in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Good value for what's included.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Good value for what's included.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Good value for what's included.
