- Andy· June 30th, 2025Awesome tour of South Korea! You get a lot of activities included in the itinerary but still have free time to do some exploring of your own.

- AAmy· July 11th, 2024South 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.Show moreTrip date: June 2024
- LPLucinda· June 27th, 2024A 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.Show moreTrip date: June 2024
