    As a first-time visitor to Korea, I couldn't have asked for a better way to experience the country. Etrip's 6-day Korea tour covered so many places, with two of my family's favorites being the Royal Tomb of King Muryeong in Gongju and the Suncheon Bay Wetland Reserve! Our guide was wonderful from the trip's start to finish, and I really appreciated that pretty much everything you could need was included in their package. Highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Korea for the first time! I will definitely be visiting again!
