    Awesome tour. It’s a very full schedule but has enough free time you can do the other highlights on your trip too. The interview with NK defector and the stay near the Buddhist temple was a highlight. Cherry was a fantastic tour leader that was happy, fun and organised

    South Korea is spectacular! Our experience was full of delicious food, immersive cultural experiences and spectacular views. The highlights on the itinerary were the temple stay, taekwondo class, visiting the demilitarised zone and taking a K-pop dance class. It's a new tour for the company, so I would advise to wait a bit before going on this tour while the itinerary and tour guides are perfected.

    A few issues present in relation to organisation and the tour guide, most likely because this is a new tour by the company. However, the tour has potential so I would just hold off a few months before booking to give them time to iron out the kinks.

    We did such a huge variety of fun activities in so many beautiful places. I feel so lucky to have done this tour because I got to experience so many sides of Korean culture. Our guide, Julian, was so fun, thoughtful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience Korea with an action packed itinerary.

    Ab-Seoul-lutely amazing guide. Kim knows what he's talking about, has great knowledge, has tips for all the local secret spots and is a good laugh, making us all feel comfortable. The itinerary was good, leaning a bit more towards culture over activities.

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      there are so many age restrictions on tours that at a young 51 with a mature 16 year old daughter there are no tours that interest us, that we can afford to go on. Although this is blatant discrimination it makes sense but it so frustrating.
