    Traveling is better with company. And this tour proved it very much so. I loved this experience. With a group of approximately 20 people within the same age range,where everyone has the same goal, exploring Korea couldn´t be better. I feel like I´ve seen so much of Korea in these 10 days, and I booked a few days extra to do cross some personal goals from my to do list. The activities were nicely balanced. From temples and learning about the culture, to super tasty food. From the calmth of a stay at a buddhist temple, to exploring the heart of the busy side of Seoul. It was my first group tour ever, and I would certainly do another one. Everyone was extremely kind and open to help where needed.

    This was my first group trip and I had the best time. An amazing group, the kindest and best guides who went above and beyond (even helping me when the tour had ended!) and who created a wonderful atmosphere to have fun and connect. The schedule was great and had diverse activitie so there's always something in there you like: from dance to culture, from bars to biking, from city to temple and of course the greatest food of Korea. There's also a good mix between scheduled plans and free time. Eventually I legt with the best memories and photo's and I met so many great people as well. It really was the adventure I'd been hoping for when i booked, and I can truly say I think I explored South Korea in the best way possible. Would recommend to anyone.

    Yoojin & Eun Hye took such great care of me. I have heart failure so I was a bit nervous about all the walking but with them by my side…. Cheering me on, walking slowly with me was moving. My favorites activities were temple stay, taekwondo, and hanbok rentals.

    It‘s a great tour to see a little of everything of Korea. As well do i think the activity are very cool. You get to try a lot of traditional food. Only there is not a lot of free time and the schedule is quite packed so if you planed to visit places in between on your own, it was a bit dificult. But in generall good tour.

    The South Korea 10-day tour was a great way to experience the highlights of the country. I thoroughly enjoyed the experiences and activities that were included as well as the options to explore at your own leisure. The guide, Priya, was extremely knowledgeable and a perfect source of wisdom, inspiration and support, ensuring your time was always well spent and everything was under control. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering an easy way to experience South Korea.

    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!
