Essential South Korea for 18 to 35s

1 / 1

Essential South Korea for 18 to 35s in South Korea

See South Korea on a nine-day small-group trip that links Seoul, Jeonju, Daegu and Busan. The route mixes major sights with time to explore on your own, so you can move at a pace that suits the group. In Seoul, visit Gyeongbokgung Palace and Gwangjang Market, then follow an orientation walk into the evening. In Jeonju, stay in a hanok and spend time in the historic village and local markets. Daegu adds a look at traditional Korean medicine, while Busan brings the Gamcheon Culture Village and coastal walks. The trip also includes a few local experiences tied to the places you visit, from hanji paper making in Jeonju to a walk near Webongsansung and a visit to Ahwon Gotack on the way to Daegu. There is free time built in on several days for meals, optional activities and independent exploring. Accommodation is in multi-share dormitories, with two nights in a traditional floor-bedding hanok in Jeonju. A local leader travels with the group throughout the trip.
