Itinerary

Is South Korea on your travel radar? 80 words should be enough to pique your curiosity further. Our small group trip is a nine-day journey that includes Seoul’s lively city life and a tranquil overnight temple stay, tapping into history so atmospheric you tingle all over. The food? Instant frothing at the mouth. Think: kimchi, kimbap and bibimbap. South Korea’s energy is palpable all year round, but a combination of the people you meet, the memories you create, and the karaoke song that encompasses the whole trip, is what makes your experience a story like no other.

day 1Seoul (South Korea)

Welcome to South Korea. Home to Korean fried chicken and Squid Game, this place has ‘variety’ written all over it. You’ll spend the next 8 days with your jaws on the ground. First on the agenda: meet your Trip Leader and say annyeonghaseyo? (that’s “hey, how’s it going?”) to the people who’ll make this adventure one to remember. Don’t hang about, we’ve got a welcome dinner to get to. Local eats all round.
