Intrepid Travel

• Excellent - 11,683 reviews for South Korea tours

I have way to many positive things to mention about this trip. First of all Jacob our tour guide went beyond being an amazing leader. The first few days by myself in in Seoul were overwhelming but having Jacob who knew what he was doing in the city made it feel like our group was part of the city, and we felt safe and comfortable walking the streets Jacob's amount of knowledge about the food , history and hidden gems made the days fly by. All accommodations and restaurants were fantastic. I absolutely recommend this tour. The only problem with the tour was that it ended too early. Because of this tour I am absolutely coming back to South Korea and hope Jacob can be my tour guide. Thanks for an amazing trip.

Great itinerary allowing to see different parts of the country. Yong was fantastic in sharing his knowledge and insights about South Korea, its history and culture and made sure to provide plenty of options and opportunities to sample the local cuisine.

He take care of us and pay attention to each customer for our need. The restaurants food and hotels we stayed are over our expectations. I’ll recommend to our friends and families to this tour in the future.

Amazing tour guide Jay, amazing places that makes my Korean tour leaving so memorable A very or highly recommended Hana Tour❤️❤️❤️

Culture Trip

• Excellent - 234 reviews for South Korea tours

It was a great trip! We kept busy the entire time while also having some free time, had a lot of really great traditional Korean food at spots you would probably never find otherwise. And did a lot of activities! A lot of tours tend to be less focused on food/activity and more on museums/things to see. So it was nice to get one to keep me active! Everything was nicely planned and alternatives were always ready should there be bad weather.

We had a wonderful time on an excellent culture trip with a wonderful group,- really like a family. Our local tour guide Sam showed us a lot of cultural and historical sights with background information. He looked for the group like a father and showed us a really southful South Korea with a lot of heart and soul. Thank you, Sam. It was an amazing, unforgetable time for us and we will keep it in good memories. It was a pleasure to travel with all of you.

Bamba Travel

• Good - 1,687 reviews for South Korea tours

Frank Shin was such a nice man but his English was not proficient enough to lead an English speaking tour. He worked very hard and went out of his way to be helpful, however, there was very little information given about each site we visited. The tour was quite disappointing because we were pretty much left on our own to navigate each stop. While he tried to give us information, it was all so basic and uninteresting. I was envious of other tours that had better guides who directed their guests to the best spots to see or take photos. We actually had a Spanish speaking tour guide, Cathy, who lead a family of five on our bus, and she was often directing them to the best places to go. I feel like we wasted a lot of time trying to figure out where to go. We’ve been on many other tours in Europe, Japan, and the US, in which we were very entertained with unusual or unknown anecdotes about the places we visited. I hate to leave a negative review, because I truly liked Frank as a person, but I would not recommend this tour to others. He was truly so sweet. Another thing about the tour that was unfortunate, was that on two occasions we were taken to lunch and had to pay out of pocket. We didn’t mind the added expense, but we did not have a choice of where or what to eat. We all had to go, and it was a set meal. I think they could have just added that to the price of the tour since there wasn’t an alternative. It was a hassle to have to wait to pay. Also, the timing of the trip was strange. We had a lot of time in some uninteresting places and had very brief times in fascinating places. Meaning we were often either bored or rushing around. The timing was just really off. Perhaps tour company is trying out new route? The last two nights of the tour, we got to the hotels so late at night that we had no choice but to just eat at the hotel instead of venturing into town to experience the local flavors. The hotel dinners were meh. For the most part, the hotel rooms and breakfasts were fine. However, do not expect to adjust temperature in your room. It is set, so we had some warm-ish nights. The Yeosu Ramada was the best. Newest, most comfortable. The worst was the Commodore Gyeongju, and it was pretty bad. Old. Worst breakfast. All in all, it wasn’t horrible, but I wouldn't book a Bamba/Tour Radar tour again. I am sorry to write such a critical review, but I hope this helps the tour company to improve. We spent a week in Seoul on our own, and I think we will travel independently the next time we visit South Korea.

Had a wondering time in South Korea. Andi was a great guide, got us to each destination safely and with tons of knowledge of each place and Korea in general. I highly recommend him. He even handled it very calmly and safety, us getting stuck in a bad snow storm (the van couldn't make it up the hill to the hotel, about 1 KM, the last night) Thank you Andi. The tour itself was also great, you see a lot in the 5 days, but also don't feel rushed. I would recommend the tour to anyone :)

Agate Travel

• Excellent - 280 reviews for South Korea tours

Overall planning was great ( flights, hotel, pick up from the airport, guide). Few areas for improvement would be knowledgeable updates on tourist visa information, distance between locations were widely miscalculated and generally took an hour or more to get to our destinations between cities, the number of stops between drives was too frequent also causing delays, location of hotels wasn’t in the best locations (generally out of the way) and it would have been helpful to let us know we would be responsible for our tour guides lunch and snacks and that we would be taking lunch with them for all our lunches.

Not relevant due to illness.

• Good - 39 reviews for South Korea tours

We had an amazing tour guide in Justin. His great sense of humour and historical knowledge made the trip exciting and fun to places some might not consider travelling to. Highly recommended.

They allowed sick people on the bus from day one. Few of us including me, got deathly sick and had to spend most of the trip at the back of the bus, then leave the tour in the middle. Shame on you for allowing this to happen

US Travel Korea

• Average - 1 review for South Korea tours

Most of this tour’s destination were just ok, only 2 locations were better and the duration of stay per location can use some improvements. For example, they gave us over 2 hours at one temple and not enough time at the national park. Most of our lunch times were pressed short, everything is in Korean so we have to google translate after waiting in lines after we find which place we want to order from. And it went on like that throughout our week. I read the itinerary when I signed up but their details were not very clear. We take at least 1 multi day tour if not more during our vacations and this tour did not compare at all. After this tour ended, we had a few extra days left and trained back to Busan, bought a day tour in Busan and it had so much more to see. The good parts of this tour was that we got to visit all the different villages and learned some of their history.

One Life Adventures

• Excellent - 7,679 reviews for South Korea tours

The tour was amazing, lots of inclusions plus the massive benefit of having a local.korean guide who showed us all the cool non-tourist spots. CheongAn was amazing from start to finish, korean language lessons, amazing food recommendations in every spot. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the best of Korea. Also the Cherry Blossoms were amazing

CheongAn could not have been a better tour guide. He went above and beyond in everything he did. He made the tour incredible and an unmissable experience. Not only was he an incredible tour guide but he was also a friend who you felt like you were travelling with, making the experience even more enjoyable. Having a local guide was so helpful and CheongAn was always able to answer questions/help everyone engage with the history and culture of Korea.

Encounters Travel

• Excellent - 1,374 reviews for South Korea tours

A fantastic tour of some of the most beautiful parts of South Korea. Our trip leaders Damien and ChongAn were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I absolutely recommend this tour

A trip of a lifetime !!. We had the most incredible tour guide Damien who has the most warm energy always willing to answer and help out. The intenary was amazing as well I feel that there was something for everyone. I only wished we would have done the cruise to Jeju island and spent more time there but of course, I think that the flight arrangement after it wasn't possible was prompt and very efficient. I enjoyed this trip and feel very lucky to have had the most incredible professional and fun tour guide who we will always remember and a lovely tour group.

Learn more about South Korea

Geograhy and environment.

South Korea is located at the south end of the Korean Peninsula, between the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. Separated from   Japan   by the Korean Strait and demarcated from the state of North Korea by Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), South Korea's terrain is a mix of flat lowlands and forested mountains. The coasts of South Korea are rocky and jagged, with thousands of islands (mostly inhabitable) scattered off the coastline.

Culture and customs

South Korea draws some traditions and customs from other neighboring countries in Asia, with a culture that stems from Confucianism. This system of philosophical and ethical teachings was introduced to South Korea in the 4 th century through Chinese scholars and was quickly embraced by the wider population until it officially became the state ideology in the early 1900s.

Confucianism emphasizes respect for aging, elders and ancestors, an intrinsic hierarchy that runs through work and social life, and upholds traditional family roles so you’ll often see families living together in one house.

During your travels around South Korea, you’ll also see plenty of traditions such as the act of bowing when greeting people, women wearing traditional dress (hanbok) and the practice of taekwondo (Korean martial arts). As well as ancient beliefs, new generations of South Koreans are embracing a modernized culture, one full of K-pop, Korean cosmetics and popular foods like kimchi and tteokbokki.

History and government

South Korea’s had an often turbulent history dating back to around 8000 BC when it was known as just Korea, but the country’s most impactful conflict began in the 1500s with the attempted Japanese invasion. Korea went on to become a Japanese colony in 1910 following its annexation of the Korean Empire, which ended in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.

The country was then divided into two parts, the northern part which was protected by the Soviet Union and the southern part which was protected largely by the United States. Both the northern and southern parts of Korea officially became North and South Korea in 1948 when the two regions failed to agree on forming one, united government.

In 1950, North Korea set in motion the Korean War which was intended to unify the two countries under communism. But after much destruction to infrastructure and loss of human life, a cease-fire was called in 1953 with both countries signing the 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement. The two countries have since agreed to work towards a final settlement (The Peace Treaty on the Korean Peninsula) to formally and officially end the Korean War.

South Korea now enjoys a fully prosperous economy with a capital economic standing similar to that of countries such as the United States, Japan, and various countries in Western Europe.

You can’t go to South Korea for shopping and not stop in Seoul – the country’s premier destination for all things fashion, electronics, street food and skincare. In this shopper’s paradise of a city, you’ll find traditional Korean items perfect for souvenirs to tech gadgets not yet available on Australia’s shores.

Some notable districts/destinations where you can shop ‘til you drop include:

• Myeongdong (shopping district)
• Dongdaemun Market (shopping center)
• Cheongdam-dong (luxury boutique area)
• Pyeonghwa (wholesale market)

Top 5 culinary delicacies of South Korea

1. bibimbap.

As one of Korea's standout dishes, bibimbap is a tasty concoction of meat, vegetables, egg, and rice. Soy sauce, chili paste, garlic, and sesame oil all add flavor to this amazingly colorful dish found everywhere in Korea.

Kimchi is hailed as a nutritional powerhouse - packing a healthy punch of nutrients, vitamins, and beneficial bacteria that makes it one of the world's healthiest superfoods. But most people don't eat these fermented vegetables for health reasons - it's the uniquely, tasty flavor and versatility that makes kimchi so popular in Korean cooking.

These delicious, savory pancakes are a standard of Korean cuisine. With hundreds of different varieties, jeon can be served with red meat, chicken, seafood, vegetables, tofu, and even edible flowers.

Similar to sushi, these highly popular rice-based morsels feature fish, beef, or crab, wrapped in seaweed with pickled or fresh vegetables. Available all over Korea, they are the perfect snack on the run or quick, cheap lunch to enjoy between sightseeing.

Arriving in Korea by the way of Mongolia, mandu are essentially boiled, steamed, or pan-fried dumplings. A cheap, street food favorite, mandu can be filled with everything from pheasant to tofu, cucumber, beef, and beyond. Try out these foods on our 8 day South Korea Real Food Adventure.

Agencies promote 'panda tourism' following Fu Bao's departure

K orea’s travel agencies are scrambling to offer panda-themed tour packages to leverage heated attention on Fu Bao, the first Korea-born giant panda who was transferred to her motherland China last week.

Hana Tour, the nation’s largest travel agency, will start promoting a series of panda tour packages to China next week.

The packages offer visits to Shenshuping Base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, where Fu Bao is being now kept. They also include visits to other major panda centers, such as Dujiangyan Panda Base and Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

Modetour, another leading travel agency, also launched tour packages to Chengdu last week, dubbed “Reunion with Princess Fu.” Fu Bao will not be on display to the public for some time yet but the itinerary includes a visit to the panda center in Wolong where she is being kept.

Interpark Tour also unveiled a package tour to China named “Fu Bao’s homeland,” which also includes a visit to the panda center in Chengdu.

The Everland amusement park, where Fu Bao was born and raised, is holding discussions with travel agencies on offering special tours that include an actual reunion with the beloved panda once she is revealed to the public again after a period of adjustment.

Fu Bao, whose name means “treasure that brings happiness,” became a national sensation here during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many felt depression and lethargy due to social distancing.

According to the amusement park, approximately 5.5 million people visited the panda exhibit to see her between January 2021 and March this year. The figure is around one-tenth of Korea’s entire population.

Panda-themed tour packages have already met success in neighboring Japan.

Xiang Xiang, a female panda born and raised at Ueno Zoo in Japan in 2017, also drew eager crowds before being sent to China in February last year.

Japan's tour packages to China that marked Xiang Xiang's birthday on June 12 and included reunions with the beloved panda were sold out instantly upon release.

First-ever Korean expo held in Moscow

Visitors look at the goods on display at the 2018 Korea Brand & Entertainment Expo, in Moscow on May 14.

By  Park Hye Ri  and  Yoon Sojung Photos = KOTRA

The very first Korean exhibition took place in Moscow on May 14 and 15.

Russia is a key country in Seoul’s New Northern Policy, through which the Korean government aims to strengthen business cooperation with its northern neighbors.

The 2018 Korea Brand & Entertainment Expo, Moscow (KBEE2018 Moscow) was jointly hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA). The two-day event attracted approximately 10,000 visitors.

This is a comprehensive expo designed to support Korean small- and medium-sized enterprises as they enter overseas markets by promoting Korean brands and products. Since the first expo in Bangkok, the expo is now marking its 13th year.

Korean businesses and local Russian buyers engage in one-on-one consultations at the 2018 Korea Brand & Entertainment Expo, in Moscow on May 14.

As part of the expo, business consultations were held. A total of 100 small Korean firms and buyers of 350 firms, who were from Russia or other countries, had consultations. Most of the participating firms were in one of five promising consumer goods sectors: cosmetics, fashion textiles, agricultural & fisheries, household items and medical tourism.

The expo included special interviews and concerts with Korean celebrities. Pop groups Infinite and NCT127 were there, as well as actress Ha Ji-won. Visitors were amused by the Korean pop music and TV experience zone, decorated with images and videos of popular Korean celebrities, and the cosmetics and makeup show that showcased cosmetics and beauty techniques used by Korean stars.

KOTRA President Kwon Pyung-oh said, “It’s very meaningful to host the first-ever Korean expo in Moscow, the heart of Russia and the center of culture and arts for the world.”

The KOTRA CEO also emphasized that Korean companies would need to actively review how to secure the local Russian market before the FTA between Korea and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) comes into effect, by conducting market research backed by Korean pop culture, which is really popular among locals there.

Visitors look closely at the goods on display at the 2018 Korea Brand & Entertainment Expo, in Moscow on May 14.
