    The experience is perfect. The tour guide CheongAn was amazing, provided a lot of information, helped us on the trip, took care of us. The only problem was the living conditions in the temple: cold, hard and smelled

    The tour was good and a lot if that had to do with the service provided by our guide, CheongAn. I am primarily interested in culture, history, and nature, so my favorite parts of the tour were Gyeongju and independent time spent at the beach in Haeunda. The hotel was less than a 5 minute walk from the beach! Having said that, despite the fact that the tour states it is easy physically and suitable for all ages, that isn't really the case. A lot of walking is involved and the guide sets a pace of approximately 4 km/hr. There are many activities that involve climbing stairs. If you have any sort of disability or health issues, or if you mostly lead a sedentary lifestyle, this tour probably isn't for you. If you still choose this tour be sure to remind both the tour company and guide about any accommodations required. Once they know about any health issues, they will do their best to advise you beforehand of strenuous activities and suggest an alternate activity. For the most part, though, if you can't keep up, they will suggest you rest at a cafe or walk around independently, so you won't get the full experience of the tour.

    From start to finish, this tour was fabulous! What a wonderful experience! We customized our tour so we can spend more time in Seoul to see & eat more :-) Dragon Trip put a very well curated tour that showcased South Korean culture and cuisine, and each of us in our private tour appreciated each day. Our photos at Seoul’s Gyeongbokgung Palace in our rented Royal costumes are priceless! During our tour, we took cabs, cable cars, high speed train (train to Busan), boat (night tour in Busan), yacht in Jeju, flights and private buses. It was the best! Thanks to Nicole who helped us plan and Sam, our very efficient & fun guide. I highly recommend Dragon Trip to all fans of S Korean dramas, food and any travel buff!

    South Korea took my breath away at every turn—from Seoul’s gleaming skyscrapers to the tranquil beauty of ancient, mist-shrouded temples. Each stop felt like entering a new world, with vibrant markets, serene palaces, and charming coastal villages showcasing the country’s soul. Julian, our guide, made each experience richer with his knowledge and warmth. I left with unforgettable memories and a deep desire to return. Thank you, Julian, for such a journey!

    Miso our guide was excellent. She shared information about the places we were going to visit. I just wish I had an option about sleeping on the floor. Not sleeping for those 2 nights was very hard on me. Otherwise I thought the tour covered a lot of sights. I have been on 2 Dragon Tours and I would choose to travel with you again. Thank You Diane Kusterman…

    10-day we took an exclusive small group Premium tour of Seoul, Nami, Busan and Jeju Is. We were able to request the tour to include activities related to our interest in Kdrama and KFood. Everything went smoothly with the able leadership of our Adventure Leader Kim, Sam. He was a great guy, obviously experienced and loved what he does as a guide and his enthusiasm in showing us the best of what he lived about SKorea and the tour we chose was quite evident and palpable. He was knowledgeable and considerate of everyone in the group’s needs and capabilities especially since we were an older group of participant 65+. We had the best rapport and time spent with him experiencing the culture , sites, activities that enhanced our appreciation of the Korean culture and its people. We would be delighted to share our experiences with relatives and friends who may consider this same tour.
