I can’t say enough about how enjoyable this tour was. The itinerary was diverse – museums, temples, palaces, and beaches. Our guide was very approachable and gave tips about local culture and food. The bus rides were comfortable and gav..e us time to rest between activities. The accommodation was better than I expected. Six days flew by, but I felt I really got to know Korea. Highly recommended to anyone visiting for the first time.Read full review

I joined this Western Course tour with my parents, and it was a fantastic family experience. The guide was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. My parents loved the cultural immersion in Jeonju and I enjoyed the bustling streets in Busan... The itinerary was fast-paced but not overwhelming, and transportation was smooth. The hotel in Busan had a beautiful ocean view, which was a nice surprise. I would recommend this to families who want to experience Korea’s diversity in a short amount of time.Read full review
I think this trip is excellent for first-time visitors. It covers a lot in a short time, yet never felt too rushed. Some meals could be improved, but otherwise it was brilliant.
This 8-day Golden Route tour was extraordinary. We started from Incheon and visited historic Gongju and Buyeo, where the ancient Baekje culture was fascinating. Each city brought a new perspective, from Gwangju’s modern energy to the peac..eful temples in Suncheon. Jeonju’s Hanok Village was an absolute highlight with its traditional houses and local cuisine. Busan’s beaches and seafood were unforgettable. Gyeongju and Andong gave us deep insight into Korea’s heritage. The mountains at Pyeongchang and Mt. Sorak were breathtaking. I couldn’t believe how much we experienced in just over a week.Read full review
This Golden Route was the most comprehensive tour I’ve been on. Each location had highlights: Gongju’s tombs, Buyeo’s temples, Suncheon’s gardens, Yeosu’s harbor, Jeonju’s hanok streets, Busan’s lively beaches, Gyeongju’s an..cient temples, Andong’s heritage, and Mt. Sorak’s incredible peaks. The schedule was busy but rewarding. Hotels and meals were well organized. Our guide kept the group together with patience and humor. I left with so many wonderful memories and photos.Read full review
