- LMLaura· July 16th, 2025It was okay. Lots of sightseeing in busy cities which gets a bit samey. There is quite a lot of free time to fill in areas where there aren’t much to do. All the accommodation we stayed in was nice enough other than having to sleep on the floor in two places (one was a temple which was understandable but the other place would’ve been nicer to have a proper bed). Tour guides were informative and gave recommendations of places to eat and see which was helpful. You are given a card for transport too which is helpful.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
- IFIrina· June 27th, 2025It was a great tour. I loved it a lot. It was so much fun and we had such a nice group. I'll miss everyone when I get back home. And Pilyeo, our guide, did an amazing job. It was so much fun.Show more
One Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for joining us in South Korea Irina! We're delighted to hear you had so much fun with your group and Pilyeo. We would love to see you back on another adventure with us in the future!Trip date: June 2025 
Philippe· May 24th, 202510/10 for activities, 10/10 for the tour guide, 10/10 for the food. Sadly, even though I paid extra for my own room, 7/10 for the rooms. I've done a lot of tours and that was probably the best one for all around included activities and food. My own room was still a dorm in Seoul so I was disappointed. And the guest house stay in Jeongju is unacceptable, they dont even provide a mattress to sleep on, you like sleep on a blanket. I left and booked a separate hotel.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review Philippe! It's great to hear that your time in South Korea was a positive experience.

Trip date: May 2025- SBStacy· May 13th, 2025The accommodation in Seoul was atrocious! I’ve paid A LOT less on other tours and gotten A LOT more. Korea is a very inexpensive country in many ways. The fact that this accommodation had dirty walls, horrible smells and barely a mattress is completely unacceptable. There was no reason for an accommodation that bad.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your honest feedback Stacy.

- MSMadita· August 23rd, 2024My South Korea tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The whole trip was very varied, giving us the chance to get to know many different sides of the country. The tour itself was also very well organised. Our tour guide Damien was the best. With a lot of personal enthusiasm he gave us a lot of background information, showed us the best food spots and just generally introduced us to the exciting culture. I can't wait to return and can only recommend this trip to everyone!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for joining us in South Korea!

- Elspeth· July 14th, 2024Coming from the UK I had to travel a fair way to take part in the South Korean trip. However, I was not left disappointed as the itinerary was packed full of both tourists spots and a fair amount of downtime to be spent in whatever way you choose. Alongside this our tour guide offered many ways we could spend this downtime alongside places to eat which I found to be useful. On the whole I had a great experience with one life and would consider going on another one of their tours.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for the recommendation Elspeth and we can't wait for you to join us on another One Life Adventure!Trip date: June 2024

Everything was organized and what I loved the most was there was room to rest and we still saw and did sooo much! Excellent selection of the cities and activities. I definitely recommend! Our tour guide had a lot of recs for what to do on our free time too. It got super hot so our guide was mindful of that which I appreciated it!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review!

- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
International flights to and from South Korea aren't included in the tour price, so you'll need to book those separately. However, our 13 Day South Korea Tour does include a domestic flight from Jeju back to Seoul, so that part's already taken care of.
