What people love about South Korea Tours for Seniors
- 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure: Culture, Cuisine, and Coastlines
Great experience. Excellent option to get overview of Korea. The trip is fairly fast paced and days are full with wide variety of activities. Our guide was great, and all hotels were very good quality.
Recommendation if you are looking for a tour that's a little different. It's a busy scedule. We had a really great tour guide, with okay English.
