Traveler A
What a phenomenal blend of experiences! Zooming down to Busan on the high-speed rail cut out all the tiring driving, leaving us energized to explore the gorgeous coasts and then dive into the endless history of Gyeongju and Andong. Highly recommended loop tour!
Traveler B
The views at Haeundae Beach and the misty summits of Mt. Sorak were unforgettable. The 4-star hotels were fantastic retreats after long days of walking. It's good to know lunches/dinners are self-arranged, but our guide was great at suggesting authentic local eats.
