Amazing trip

This trip is filled with history about South and North Korea, great accommodation included throughout, and the best part was the tour guide. She knows so much and makes this trip what it is, brilliant.

Discover South Korea

This is a varied trip around modern cities and ancient sites, giving an overview of this dynamic country. Twelve days is rather short, a couple of extra days would have allowed more time, for example, in Busan. Group travel arrangements via Frankfurt need more transfer time.
