South Korea Tours in November 2026

I really enjoyed this trip. It was my third Topdeck tour and, sadly, my final one now that the age range has changed, but no hard feelings. The group dynamic on this tour was brilliant. Everyone clicked, everyone had fun, and we ended up with a great mix of people from the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. It genuinely felt like a proper adventure. Our guide, Marshall, made the experience unforgettable. His local knowledge didn’t just cover the itinerary, during our free time he always had ideas for places to explore, food to try, and hidden corners worth checking out. I’m a big history fan, and his insight was top-notch. I won’t forget my time in Korea with this amazing group. I couldn’t be happier with how the trip turned out, and I’d highly recommend Topdeck to anyone wanting to dive into Korean culture. You’ll have a fantastic and memorable time. Five stars from me! :D

I thought the whole trip was amazing! It has a good balance of activities to take part in from cultural experiences, nature walks and city sightseeing, with time to also go exploring by yourself. I would 100% recommend this trip to others looking to explore South Korea

It was more than I expected. I was expecting to come in for a travelling information session. It ended with some of the best experiences, I had, ever. The tour guide was awesome and the group all clicked, things just fell in line. There was a sense of cohesion and community.

A phenomenal trip actually! My first time leaving Europe for Asia and I was welcomed with open arms! Made many a new friend, had great laughs, great opportunities, and our tour guide Damien was accomodating changes to the plan, allowing for more time spent where the group wanted and keepin us busy without ever feeling overwhelmed!! A truly great experience!

A great country. People very friendly. There were a few problems as it was the tour guide's first time with Explore. One hotel was totally unsuitable for sharing, as the toilet and sink were in the bedroom. only the shower was behind a clear glass door. However one hotel was 4 star, the best hotel I've stayed in with Explore. I was one of three males who hadn't paid the single supplement, yet was only offered the single room twice over 11 nights. As the language is difficult in Korea, I would have liked the tour guide to organise a suitable restaurant every evening and help with the menu.

Local tour guides make all the difference when discovering new places. I appreciate being able to hit some tourist spots - avoiding the traps and using insider tips and trips - and being able to tap into the authentic local experience and customs. This itinerary and the directors provided the right mix of both which made for memorable adventures.
