Editor’s Take
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary. Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Reviews for all tours are positive, with many of them being 4 to 5 stars. You may find a few 1 star reviews with some tour groups, but those are because of the company’s tours in other countries that unrelated to how the tours are run in South Korea.
People rave about how organized and detail-oriented the guides are - from giving precise directions to giving insight into the country’s rich history. Many are pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoy their tours.
You’ll find that many tours offer well-rounded trips around the various regions of the country, while shorter tours focus primarily on the country’s capital, Seoul. South Korea is a culturally-rich travel destination, with focus on heritage sites and regions that are harder to reach without a tour group.
