One of the most beloved tours that has allowed countless tourists to explore the essence of Korea for decades!

Departing from two pick-up sites in Seoul, 14 hours of exploring the 3 most beautiful places in Korea lies ahead! Travel to Mt. Seorak, Nami Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm with your local tour guide.

Mt. Seorak, also known as Seoraksan, was designated a Natural Monument preservation area. In December 1973, it became a national park, and in August 1982, it was named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Unique rock formations and waterfalls create breathtaking views in Seorak.

Nami Island is famous for its romantic atmosphere, where the drama "Winter Sonata" was filmed. Enjoy walking paths lined with metasequoia, ginkgo trees, and cherry trees, as well as art installations at every corner.

The Garden of Morning Calm is popular among tourists for its serene, oriental beauty. It is filled with beautiful flowers and trees year-round—even during the Winter Light Festival.

The tour started 10 minutes late, I believe because we were waiting for a single person, which is unacceptable for the other 40 who were waiting. The bus was also constantly leaving a few minutes late, I think Patrick could do a better job at rushing people to be on time. Lastly, the beginning of the tour was confusing because there were two buses and there was no prior indication on which one I should get on. In other tours, they send a message the day before with all the details but there was no communication for this one.
