My tour was the best I have ever experienced. Our guide Priya gave us the best introduction to South Korea ever, making sure we all had fun and taught all about the history of Korea, while making sure we had the best places to eat and see. This tour has opened my eyes to this amazing culture, giving us chances to experience unique and fun activities, and giving me memories I will cherish forever. When I look back on my tour, I will always remember fondly of the boat ride in Busan as we saw the fireworks in the backdrop of the setting sun, Karaoke night where we belted our hearts out to pop songs, our picnic by the Han River, and trying on Hanboks in Gyeongju. I truly lucked out with my group and with my fabulous guide, and I will never stop raving about it.

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

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!

Take a cycling adventure through South Korea and see all the highlights (and lesser-known spots) from the perspective of two wheels. While you’re staying active, you’ll ride through Seoul, the seaside city of Gangneung, Sokcho, Gyeongju and Busan and discover the Four Rivers Bike Path with a group of likeminded travellers and a local leader to watch your back and show you the fun secret spots. Visit the famed DMZ and soak up Korea’s interesting history, tuck into delicious local cuisine like hotpot and barbeque, see riverside towns and countryside roads and stay in a glamping park where you’ll get stuck into traditional South Korean culture. Then, travel along the coastline, relax on golden sands and spend free afternoons walking along park trails or taking nighttime river cruises. Visit the Daereungwon Royal Tombs on an evening cycle, ride on a fast train and deep dive into K-pop culture (if the heart desires!) – what better way to see South Korea like a local.
