I really liked this trip, though I wish we stayed in Busan for at least another night. Both the Contiki and Korean guides were great, there were a few add-ons in each city to choose from and I definitely feel like I learned more about Korea than if I'd gone to the country without doing a Contiki tour. Thank you Joey and Lina!

What a wonderful trip, great guide and itinerary.
Would have loved some more “well known” things on the itinerary (Starbank library), and maybe a cooking class
