Essential Korea is a 13-day adventure that reveals South Korea’s modern marvels and cultural treasures. Journey from Seoul’s gleaming skyline to Gyeongju’s ancient temples, savoring green tea and fried chicken along the way. Stand at the DMZ, sleep in a mountain temple, and watch haenyeo divers on Jeju’s shores. This small group tour is your chance to experience Korea’s contrasts firsthand, with the USP being its blend of culinary delights, historical immersion, and natural tranquility.
Welcome to Seoul! As fellow travellers are arriving throughout the day, there are no planned activities until a group meeting at 6 pm. Check into the hotel and enjoy the city.
After the welcome meeting, join your CEO for an orientation walk down Cheonggyecheon Stream to learn about Seoul while walking past small waterfalls and nearly two dozen overhead bridges. Then, enjoy the dense grid of streets found in the bustling neighbourhood of Myeongdong which is packed with people at all hours of the day looking to enjoy some of the best shopping, street food, and nightlife in all of Korea.
Opt for a group dinner to end your first night!
I do really appreciate you offering me my free own room for the first part of the trip.
I got a good sense of South Korea. From the lovely chaos of Seoul to the beauty and serenity of Jeju. Highly recommend!
South Korea was an amazing experience, and so glad, I took the time to also do the western cities as they were smaller and Jeju Island was wonderful. Our CEO Rob, was fantastic, and made the experience even more fun and interesting...we got to so many more destinations and sites that I would have been able to in the same timeframe on my own.
It was very good trip for the price. I am used to pay more so that I got better hotel and services.
