The 7 day tour covered a lot of ground and we were able to see so many attractions that we wouldn't have if we'd tried to explore on our own. We had a fantastic group who all got along well - I would say the average age was mid-60s. I am 35 and still found it really enjoyable with everyone. We departed each morning between 8:30/9 and got to the hotel most nights straight after dinner, about 7:30-8:30. There were always multiple destinations each day. On longer bus rides we would stop at a rest stop every 1.5hours to have a bathroom break (no toilet on board, which was sometimes a bit of a problem) We walked 10k-15k steps every day. There was always the option to take a shorter or easier route if you prefered. There was a mixture of temples, nature, and beautiful sights. All the meals were generous and tasty and gave us the chance to try a variety of Korean foods. There was plenty for everyone. There were also stops during the day where you could buy snacks or coffee. The accomodation in 4 and 5 star hotels was always great. The breakfast buffets had a lot of choice. I would've liked a chance to enjoy the facilities more, but we were always tired after the long days. Our guide was so positive and energetic! He was a wealth of knowledge and shared a lot of history, culture and language. He was a little hard to understand at times, which my boyfriend found frustrating. He was super approachable and friendly though, and I personally really liked him. I have a lot of great memories from this trip and would definitely recommend it.

if you are on the fence if you want to take this tour, DO IT! i joined this tour solo in November 2024. Jeonju Hanok village is like Insadong and Suwon but it has its own charm. After Jeonju, Jangtaesan mountain was also very beautiful, lots of sequioa trees which turned brown during autumn. The bridge/walkway was a bit scary for someone who is afraid of heights. one suggestion is for the tour guide to give more information about the places we visit and places we are passing through.... he did gove some info but only very little.

Everything was well-organized from start to finish. Our guide Yohan was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable experience!”

We had a wonderful experience thanks to our kind tour guide Mr Jake. He tried to speak English and his English is not bad at all. Jeonju Hanok Village was nice too, I wish I could visit Jeonju in autumn. It was beautiful and calming. However, the restaurant is too bland to our taste 😅 maybe we should try other muslim friendly menu. The visit to the mosque is worth it too. Can’t say much since we were able to pray peacefully at the mosque alhamdulillah. The mosque is the reason why I chose to go to Jeonju. Overall I really recommended this tour to all my Muslim friends out there.

PLK was very communicative when our boat voyage portion was canceled and the quickly offered an alternative (suspension bridge). We still enjoyed the tour nonetheless and our tour guide Paul made the experience worth it! He weaved in personal anecdotes, jokes, and history smoothly, while allowing us adequate time at each stop. We never felt rushed and always had time for pictures and the restroom. Food was great as well! Thank you for the amazing experience. Highly recommend! Thank you again and go team Paul!!

We had an amazing time on the tour! Our guide, Nancy, was super friendly and helpful. She had really great stories and insight throughout the day. We had rainy weather in the morning but Nancy rearranged the trip so that we could see the observatory when it was sunnier. The food in the Unification Village was great and really cheap too for all you can eat ($8). We also had the opportunity to ride the gondola and it was only $7. I'm really glad that we booked the tour and Nancy was the best guide that we could ask for. I would highly recommend it.
