Discover South Korea

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.

Trip of a lifetime to a fascinating country. We were toured thoughtfully through large cities, historic sites and gorgeous natural locations throughout Korea.

I really enjoyed my visit to South Korea, and the tour covered everything that I wanted to see.

A fantastic trip expertly lead by Michelle Kim

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.

A varied and interesting tour combining a view of city life in Seoul and Busan with visits to National parks, museums, mountains, folk museums, temples, markets and much more.

Interesting trip to Korea . Initial few nights in Seoul then traveling gradually south until Busan and then back to Seoul night before trip end. trip includes a monastery overnight which , personally , I think could have been missed out . Spend the morning getting there and the monastery tour could have been covered as a day trip with an extra night in Busan instead . The meditation session was underwhelming and next day is very early departure. So you maybe spend 14 hours at monastery . It generally felt a "contrived" exercise ,although presumably its a revenue earner for the temple.

Great trip, good pace, good variety of places visited

South Korea is more than what it seems, and this tour is a great way to find out. Really enjoyed all the cultural inputs, the food, and the overall itinerary. Don't miss out on all South Korea has to offer.

As this is only my second group trip I have a limited experience with comparing these types of trips but I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and filled any gaps in our itinerary with valuable insightful excursions. All key sights were covered in the trip. Unfortunately we did not get to go to the JSA, however this did not detract from the the overall visit to the DMZ. The DMZ felt very surreal and to be able to peak into North Korea was an experience. Seoul is your typical city, traffic included but the subway system is very easy to negotiate and cheap and clean. There are plenty of lively markets to immerse oneself into the culture and to sample various food on a stick. I would recommend catching the Nanta show. This was amazing. The scenery was breathtaking especially in Seoraksan National Park and Jeju Island. For a country that had to completely rebuild it is amazing how the government was able to cultivate such wonderful green spaces. The food on offer was second to none and I did not find the food too spicy at all, although when given the option I chose the least spicy option.
