About this trip

This 12-day trip moves through South Korea's UNESCO-listed heritage, starting in Seoul and taking in sites that mix ancient tradition with the country's modern edge.

You'll see the cultural side of Korea's heritage — art, architecture, cuisine and craft shaped over centuries — as well as the natural landscapes of Jeju-do, the volcanic island recognised for its geology and ecology.

It's an easy-paced, partially guided trip aimed at giving a broad view of Korea's history and heritage rather than a deep dive into one region.

What you'll do

  • Explore Seoul's blend of traditional and modern Korea
  • Visit UNESCO-listed cultural heritage sites across the country
  • See the volcanic landscapes of Jeju-do
  • Take in traditional Korean architecture and art
  • Try Korean cuisine along the way
Good to know
  • Easy pace, suited to families and groups
  • Partially guided, so you'll have some time to explore independently
  • Runs over Christmas and New Year for those wanting to spend the holidays in Korea
