    Great itinerary allowing to see different parts of the country. Yong was fantastic in sharing his knowledge and insights about South Korea, its history and culture and made sure to provide plenty of options and opportunities to sample the local cuisine.

    The tour was great, I have rarely experienced so much in 8 days. Our tour guide Pam was so accommodating, helpful and nice and she knew her stuff! I guess Intrepid really puts a lot of emphasis on good guides. I would definitely recommend a few extra days in Seoul though, there is too much to see in the city to experience it in the two days.
