South Korean Soul (Without Jeju Island)

Start & end in Seoul 9 days Up to 20

About this trip

Nine days across South Korea, mixing Seoul's history and pace with the slower, older rhythm of Jeonju. You'll cover a lot of ground by high-speed train, from big-city sights to mountain views and traditional back streets.

This one leans into the mix of old and new that defines modern Korea — DMZ history one day, a K-pop video shoot the next, then hanok villages and street food stalls in Jeonju. There's a night time boat tour, a baseball game, and a fair few barbecues along the way.

Local guides lead you through Seoul, and the pace stays easy throughout — this is about seeing and tasting your way through the country rather than ticking off extremes.

What you'll do

  • Explore Seoul with local guides
  • Visit sites tied to Korea's military history
  • Ride the high-speed train between cities
  • Wander Jeonju's traditional streets and try local street food
  • Take part in a K-pop video shoot
  • Catch a night time boat tour and a baseball game
Good to know
  • Easy pace, suited to those who want culture and sightseeing without a physical challenge
  • Partially guided, so some days run with a local guide and others are more independent
  • Group trip, so you'll be travelling and eating with the same set of people throughout
