This was the perfect first trip to Korea! The itinerary was so well-planned, covering all the must-see spots from the palaces in Seoul to the ancient tombs in Gyeongju. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of each place to life. The hotels were comfortable and the bus was modern. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a comprehensive look at Korea!

Great tour, we saw so much. The pace was a bit fast, with early starts each day, but it was necessary to fit everything in. I particularly enjoyed the Korean Folk Village and Andong Hahoe Village; they were very unique. The only minor downside was that lunches and dinners weren't included, so we had to find our own food, but it also gave us the freedom to try local cuisine.
