This 5 day tour was awesome. Our tour guide Andy knew what he was talking about and more. The places we visited had so much history behind it. It was great to know. The hotels were 5 🌟 with buffet breakfast to die for. The free time we had was great too as we could try the local foods and take heaps of pics. Highly recommend this tour.

Incredible. When I showed our itinerary to friends from Korea they were super impressed - and we had the bonus of the amazing Justin as our guide ! Justin is an exceptional individual - incredible energy and history lessons every day. He lived in Canada for a while so perfect English and a great sense of humour. Overall we could not recommend this tour more for anyone of any age who wants to get out and see the country ! Thank you Justin and the excellent driver, Mr Kim.

I had a fun and informative trip. It was very interesting to leave a great deal about the history of the country leading up to modern day South Korea and Andy was very helpful.

It is a good trip if you have limited time in South Korea. It combines a bit of history, culture, nature and food experiences. The hotels were quite good. Unlike other trips that include Seoul in the itinerary, you spend no time in Seoul. This actually works well since it is quite easy to do Seoul on your own before or after the trip. Eating raw crabs in the Busan fish market was a highlight for me.

Mr Justin Choi was just about the best tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with as part of a tour. He was highly experienced, knowledgeable, proactive, courteous and professional in leading our tour over the 5-day 4-night tour. His use of technology was innovative, well received by the tour attendees and ought to be adopted as a standard. The printed guide he has designed was engaging, informative and incited me to want to learn more about the places he took us to. Thank you for making our experience a fantastic and memorable one.

Justin was our tour guide - he gave us an excellent memorable experience. All of the stops were good, we liked Yeosu the best for the scenery. Justin covered lots of historiucal information appropriate to each area.

Great way to get a feel for Korea, in 5 short days. Our guide Justin was excellent. He was a very knowledgeable, passionate young man. He knew his history. The bus was always clean, water was provided and A/C worked well on this hot days. The hotels were good. I would recommend this tour. Also, this tour company will work with you to modify your travel plans, ex adding extra days in a city and rejoining the next tour.

Our tour guide, Justin, was the best part of the tour - attention to details, excellent sense of humor, very knowledgeable about the ancient and contemporary history of South Korea, and very helpful throughout. This is a relatively fast-paced tour - an excellent way of seeing many places in South Korea in five days.
