South Korea 5-Day Tours and Trips

In 6 days, we saw a mix of urban city, traditional palaces and Hanok villages, cathedral and temples, a lively night market, some shopping, a National Park, and the coastal city of Busan. We ate very well enjoying typical Korean dishes for lunch, like samgyetang, bibimbap, bulgogi, ssam, and one pasta & pizza lunch for variety. Our guide Helena was fluent in English and Spanish so we could understand all the interesting information easily. Helena took good care of us, and though it was not included, she made extra effort to help our group find a clinic for Covid-19 PCR test after arrival in Korea. Her fun personality made us very comfortable too. And there was no pressure to shop at special stores with a ”discount” for tour groups. Our hotel in Seoul was the Marriott Times Square which was excellent. The Ramada hotel in Busan was less impressive but alright for a one night stay. I did not enjoy Daegu City and its oriental medicine museum which was too specific for my interest. However we had the chance to try on Korean hanbok dress for free in the museum. Overall, it was a quick trip that was a very good introduction to South Korea.

This tour was quiet and intimate and allowed us to ask plenty of questions to our tour guide Jioang. She provided answers and provided other places to check out.

Guide,lisa, was very informative and knowledgeable about korean history and all facts of leading to the DMZ..... tour was presented very well... would recommend them to friends and anyone thinking of going there

Th dmz is important part of a trip to Korea to understand. We went with our 12ys Year old child and she found it interesting too. The tunnel I dont recommend for taller people as you have to hunch over much of the way. But its evocotice experience. My only suggestion would be to update the short film.
