South Korea Tours and Trips for Young Adults

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’ll admit, I was hesitant at first—joining a tour with total strangers in a foreign country? What if my group was awkward? Or worse, what if the guide was a total jerk? But all those worries vanished fast, because this turned out to be the best tour I’ve ever taken. I saw and learned so much, made genuine connections, and had an incredible amount of fun. It was the perfect introduction to a country I knew little about, and now I’m completely hooked. I’d recommend this tour to anyone with a love for Korean culture—or even just a curious spirit. This trip definitely made me want to book with G-Adventures again!

Korea was one of my favourites. The people of this tour were just amazing too and I'm sure I have made friends for life. First g adventure tour and wasn't disappointed. I will definitely be booking another trip with your team. Thank you

i liked the tour, but i think south korea can be shorter, skip jeju. also its change in your iterinary discription that we also can use a luggage with rollers.

This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. G Adventures made exploration easy by removing any hassle or worry from the equation. We were also fortunate to have a great group and the best CEO.

This tour does not match the level of quality I experienced in the exceptional Peru Panorama or Morocco Kasbahs and Deserts. I will not be recommending Korea to Japan: Epic Eats & Bright City Lights to anyone as the best parts of our stay in South Korea and Japan was when we were not with the group. The hostels were subpar, the fact that there were no meals included in Japan is unacceptable when 'Epic Eats' is literally in the title of the tour we signed up for, and the included meals in South Korea did not showcase the best of the country's cuisine. My husband and I had three sushi restaurant experiences in Japan and the one that was selected by the tour was by far the worst of the three and it wasn't necessarily cheaper than the second best. In Jeju Island, we opted to leave the group potluck so that we could experience real local black pork and it was one of the best meals we had. During my time in Peru and Morocco, it would have been unthinkable to have preferred to leave the group meals but in this case, we had to seek out the culinary experience that the tour promised but did not deliver. There was so much free time during the tour that we might as well not have done the tour. We were so excited about this trip and the people we might meet but it was incredibly disappointing. Grouping people who sign up for different tours is a terrible idea. It created a great deal of discord as everyone had different expectations of the trip and no one was ever satisfied with the optional group activities. We also sped through many of the locations my husband and I had been dearly anticipating visiting. The group was entirely too large and on two occasions, I was made responsible for the safe travel transit of the group (once in South Korea and the second internationally having to guide my fellow group members from arrival in Gimpo, switching terminals, and arriving in Haneda Airport) which I did not sign up for nor receive compensation for. This tour was good enough for people who want a superficial cultural engagement with the countries they visit, who want to party, get drunk, and barely remember where they have been. This is not what a G Adventures experience is supposed to represent. The tour did not do justice to the countries we visited, I'm relieved that we had scheduled our own time in South Korea and Japan before and after the tour - that is when the true cultural engagement happened during our trip.
