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.
Justin was our guide for the tour-amazing energy and super knowledgeable.
South Korea Circle Adventure 5D/4N
- Best of South Korea
This is a great 'introduction' trip to Korea if you're not inclined to discover the country independently. Due to the "hilliness" of Korea, it is not ideal for people with mobility issues or over a certain age/fitness.
