    I had an absolutely unforgettable experience on the South Korea Classic 10-day tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Pilyeo (Priya). Her warmth, kindness, and deep local knowledge made this trip one of the most welcoming and enjoyable tours I’ve ever been on. From the very start, Pilyeo made everyone feel at ease and brought our group together with her gentle, thoughtful approach. Every stop was enhanced by her insights. Pilyeo always went the extra mile to make sure everyone was getting the most out of their time in South Korea. This tour exceeded all expectations, and I’ll look back on it with fondness for years to come. I can’t recommend it – and Pilyeo – highly enough!

    The most amazing holiday I have ever been on. At first I was unsure as this was my first ever big holiday. Also it was with random people so I was very apprehensive, however I can say this with my chest. I am sad to be leaving. It was so fun and joyful. I made life long friends and had made memories I will treasure forever. Let’s not forget my guide Priya! She was the most amazing guide i could have ever have. I learnt so many things and tried new things and I’m upset it ended so fast! Best time ever.

    I had an incredible time on this group tour in Korea! The itinerary was packed with a diverse range of activities that gave us a well-rounded experience of the country—from exploring bustling city streets and historical palaces and temples and trying hands-on cultural experiences. There was always something exciting to look forward to, and the balance between guided activities and free time was perfect. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the many sides of Korea.

    Awesome tour of South Korea! You get a lot of activities included in the itinerary but still have free time to do some exploring of your own. The DMZ visit and the temple stay were both so memorable. Come hungry as the food is amazing. Best of all, Pilyeo was an amazing guide which made the tour so much more fun!
