    The temple stay wasn’t necessary. Half a day would have been sufficient to allow for more time at different sites

    What a pleasant trip! Priya (our guide) went above and beyond to make this a wonderful time for everyone! Unfortunately the time went by way too fast, but we did a lot in the week we had. Accomodation was pleasant, food wonderful, atmosphere fantastic! When we had questions Priya couldn't answer immediately, she always came back to us and sometimes even helped us with recommendations and more. After visting the DMZ zone/ War memorial, I had asked Priya if she maybe knew of a place where I could get old war medals as a gift for my father (not a question one normally would expect) - she came back to me with different websites, prices and adresses and even asked me a few days after that if I got what I needed/ needed more help! Asking about food - she gave different options as well as suggesting if we wanted to try it on the trip or not. It was my first time in South Korea and I enjoyed it so much, I regret having to go home - would love to see this wonderful country again!

    The thing that made this tour so excellent was our guide - Priya. She went above and beyond for everything. She would advise what to do, where to eat etc If she didn't know something she would find out - as an example, after visiting the Korean War Memorial, I asked her for some movie/series recommendations- she came back with a massive mist

All questions
  • H

    Henry

    Asked on October 9th, 2025

    when we leave on tour from hotel next to the other destinations who takes our luggage especially on bullet trains etc

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      We suggest that you pack as lightly as possible as you are expected to carry your own luggage. Our trips in South Korea use some public transport and most will have limited luggage storage space. You will also be walking with your luggage in busy public train stations to catch connecting trains, so it is highly recommended that you travel light and have easy to handle luggage and capable of walking up and down the stairs with your luggage without any assistance. A large bag will be an inconvenience to you and will slow you down.
