What people love about South Korea Tours for Seniors
- South Korea Circle Adventure 5D/4N
I absolutely loved my tour so much I want to do it again
- South Korea Real Food Adventure
I have way to many positive things to mention about this trip. First of all Jacob our tour guide went beyond being an amazing leader. The first few days by myself in in Seoul were overwhelming but having Jacob who knew what he was doing in the city made it feel like our group was part of the city, and we felt safe and comfortable walking the streets Jacob's amount of knowledge about the food , history and hidden gems made the days fly by. All accommodations and restaurants were fantastic. I absolutely recommend this tour. The only problem with the tour was that it ended too early. Because of this tour I am absolutely coming back to South Korea and hope Jacob can be my tour guide. Thanks for an amazing trip.
- Korean World Heritage Adventure 11D/10N
With a few exceptions, the tour guides were very good. For this price you would want any hotel on the level of a 4 star hotel. If you only stay in a city for one night, it would be very nice if you arrived there by 4 p.m. at the latest so that you can explore the city by yourself.
