South Korea trips

South Korea is where you sip tea in centuries-old hanok houses, wander palaces built for royals, and dive into neighborhoods fueled by fashion, K-pop, and late-night eats. It’s history and hype living side by side.

If you're thinking about it, just go for it!

2nd-time traveler Brooke

I've been wanting to visit both Japan and Korea for a few years now but was nervous about visiting someplace I didn't really speak the language, so EF seemed like the best idea! Having a group of people who are generally just as eager to travel and have fun makes going on a...

Fun in Korea

2nd-time traveler Anonymous

This trip was super fun. I wish it was longer so that we could spend more time in the different cities we went to or add more places to go to. There’s plenty to see and do. Our tour guide Yoon was phenomenal! Such a great guy, wiling and eager to help us with any solo...

Great Experience!

1st-time traveler Liz

Japan/South Korea trip

1st-time traveler Anonymous

I had such a blast on the trip! This was my first EF tour and I would definitely book again. I really liked having about 2 days in each country where there were guided activities and tours and then still having free days where we could explore and do activities on our own. The...

My first trip with EF was absolutely amazing! JJ, our tour guide, made the experience unforgettable. She listened attentively to all our requests and went out of her way to ensure we could see and do everything we wanted. The trip itself was incredibly fun, with plenty of free...

Seoul my soul

5th-time traveler Anonymous

Such a great trip! Even though there wasn’t as much free time as other trips, it was still amazing. Fast paced, but a good time. I would recommend coming early or staying late, even just one day, to do anything you didn’t get to do. Leeshin was a phenomenal tour director! Always...

First time out of the country and… it was amazing!

1st-time traveler Tia

I don’t usually write reviews, but since this was my first time being out of my home country by myself and had such an amazing experience I just had to. While booking the trip I had a hard time deciding on if I wanted to go to Japan or South Korea, so when I saw they had both of...
