The tour was excellent. The tour destinations and activities were generally excellent. The tour guide Mark of Hanatours was excellent with his only fault being pronouncing some English words.

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 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.
