- JSJohn· June 13th, 2024Tour and Adventure Leaders are excellent. Some aspects of the transfer from S. Korea to Japan can be greatly improved.

Show moreTrip date: June 2024 - SBSandra· May 1st, 2024It was a great itinerary that let us catch quite a few of the highlights of South Korea and Japan. The tour takes us to more of the significant destinations in each country than other comparable tours. We had the opportunity to do some fun add-ons like taking a K-pop class, doing an overnight at a temple, and having a calligraphy class. I loved that it was an active tour, so we got to do some hikes in the mountains as well as cycling. Specific items are included as part of the tour, but the tour also gives you a lot of free time where you can choose your own adventure. The advantage is that you can have the experience you want. The disadvantage for me is that I had to spend a lot more time than expected researching what there was to do in an area and how to fit it all together. It is a budget tour, so expect to spend a lot more on food and your free time activities that are over and above the base tour price. This tour is not an educational tour - I didn't learn as much from the tour as I would have liked. The tour uses hostels - getting a good night's sleep can be difficult. I opted for an upgrade to a single room and am really glad I did so. The rooms were all perfectly adequate. Dragon Trips administrative team was very responsive and organized. I had two tour guides - I really liked one and didn't think the other one did a great job. That can affect the experience of the tour. Overall, I give the tour a thumbs up and would recommend them.Show moreThe Dragon Trip commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your detailed feedback!

- MMahi· March 29th, 2024The Korea aspect of the tour was incredible, I would rate it 5 stars- CheongAn and Julian were amazing tour guides helping us all fall in love with the country. Japan felt very disorganised and fell flat.The Dragon Trip commented on this reviewThanks for sharing your feedback!
