Begin in the capital city. Visit Myeongdong district after 6 PM when the street food scene comes alive. Get a T-money transport card at the airport to use on public transit throughout Seoul. For your DMZ visit, bring your passport and wear appropriate clothing (no ripped jeans or flip-flops). The Second Tunnel tour runs about an hour. The Cheorwon Peace Observatory gives you the best views into North Korea, but weather can affect visibility. Visit Changdeokgung Palace early at 9 AM to avoid crowds. Time your Gyeongbokgung Palace visit with the guard changing ceremony at 10 AM or 2 PM. Get to Bukchon Hanok Village before 9 AM if you want peaceful photos of the traditional houses.

An extensive route through 18 cities, from Seoul to Busan, spans 7 days. Stand before UNESCO's Bulguksa Temple, stroll through Andong Hahoe Village, and trek Mt. Seorak. Includes 6 nights in 4-5 star hotels and 19 meals.
- Day 1
Seoul to Daejeon
Start your day early in Seoul and make your way to Gongju, the ancient Baekje Kingdom capital. Visit Magoksa Temple in the morning for a peaceful experience. "The tea ceremony with the Buddhist monk was incredibly serene, but arrive before 10 AM to avoid tour crowds." Spend your afternoon doing archery at Gongsanseong Fortress. Wear good walking shoes since the fortress involves uphill paths. It's about a 1.5-hour transfer to Daejeon for the evening.
- Day 2
Daejeon to Gwangju
Visit Jeonju Hanok Village in the morning. Get there early to rent hanbok (traditional Korean dress) since lines grow long after 11 AM. Stop for authentic Jeonju bibimbap lunch in the village. Your afternoon visit to Tapsa Temple needs a moderate 20-minute uphill walk. Pack water and sun protection since shade is limited. From there it's a 2-hour drive to Gwangju.
- Day 3
Gwangju to Yeosu
Get to Boseong Green Tea Plantation early to see the morning mist over the terraces. One visitor notes: "The green tea ice cream at the plantation cafe is a must-try, but they often sell out by afternoon." Visit Suncheonman Bay wetlands during golden hour for the best photos. It's just an hour to Yeosu for the night.

Start at Nurimaru APEC House on Dongbaekseom Island when the morning sea breeze makes for great photos. Head to historic Gyeongju next.

End your day with a relaxing walk around Bomun Lake.

The tour was well planned by experts who obviously know how to make the most out of SK in 7 days. The guide spoke fluent English and was able to answer any questions well. The food was high quality and a good mixture between local food and home comforts. The accommodation was superb.
