South Korea in Classic: From Seoul to Jeju Island (Private Tailored)

Start & end in Seoul 9 days Up to 10

About this trip

This nine-day private tour takes you from Seoul's palaces to the temples of Gyeongju, the coast at Busan, and finally the volcanic landscapes of Jeju Island. It's a tailored, fully guided trip, so the pace and focus are shaped around you rather than a fixed group itinerary.

In Seoul you take in Gyeongbokgung Palace and the traditional streets of Bukchon Hanok Village, before heading to Gyeongju to see Bulguksa Temple and its national museum. Busan brings the cliffside Haedong Yonggungsa temple, and the trip closes on Jeju, where crater walks and coastal views round things off.

Throughout, the focus is on culture and landscape at a relaxed, personalised pace rather than ticking off a long checklist each day.
