Making the reservation was easy. There was a period when there was not much information from the tour operator. The tour itself was pretty good overall. There wer a few mis-steps and inconveniences but that is to be expected on any tour. The guide was very good and the tours well organized.

I had an absolutely amazing time on the 12 day South Korea trip! The group was fantastic, and exploring the country together was such a memorable experience. The food was incredible, and there were so many highlights that made the trip unforgettable. Some of my favourite moments included the Taekwondo session on day one, meeting a North Korean defector, and the optional boat ride in Busan, each experience was unique and something I’ll never forget. I also really appreciated the balance of included activities and free time, which allowed everyone to explore personal bucket list items at their own pace. Han, our guide, was wonderful, professional, kind, and genuinely caring. Having a local guide really made the experience special, and his knowledge and passion for showing us around added so much to the trip. I’ve made lifelong memories and friends on this trip and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible way to explore South Korea. Thank you to the Dragon Trip team for such an unforgettable adventure! ??

These South Korean summer tours balance cultural experiences with clever ways to handle the heat and humidity. Our routes blend temple stays with refreshing coastal walks in Busan, and scenic cable car rides over Songdo Beach. Travelers appreciate well-timed activities, starting with early morning visits to Bulguksa Temple before temperatures rise, followed by afternoon stops at Jagalchi Fish Market where cool sea breezes provide welcome relief. The DMZ tours run throughout summer and include meaningful conversations with North Korean defectors, while cycling enthusiasts can join tours along Seoul's Han River and coastal paths that wind past fishing villages, tea plantations and also scenic overlooks - covering 30-40km daily across flat terrain. Many itineraries include visits to traditional jjimjilbang bathhouses in Busan, along with temple meditation sessions that offer peaceful indoor breaks from the heat. Our guides Justin and Mark get high marks from customers for adjusting schedules around weather conditions and knowing just the right local spots for Korean iced tea and also patbingsu shaved ice treats.

Autumn transforms South Korea's mountains and our hiking-focused tours capture the season perfectly. The Seoraksan National Park routes showcase brilliant red maples - our travelers send us amazing photos every year. We blend city and nature exploration nicely; you'll walk ancient fortress walls draped in fall colors after exploring Seoul's modern districts. The temples take on a different character when golden ginkgo leaves carpet the grounds. The tours include scenic cable car rides over Busan's coastline and also yacht trips around Jeju Island where the setting sun gives the volcanic landscape a warm autumn glow.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter tours in South Korea blend cultural immersion with cozy indoor activities when temperatures drop. Our most requested routes mix Seoul's city exploration with temple stays and cooking classes where you'll learn traditional Korean dishes and warm up with hotpot dinners. The DMZ tours continue through winter - our travelers often mention how the clear winter skies make for excellent visibility at the Dora Observatory when viewing North Korean territory. We keep you comfortable with a mix of tea ceremonies, traditional craft workshops and also visits to the Korean Folk Village. The local jjimjilbangs (traditional bathhouses) become a welcome retreat after exploring in the cold.
