1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The monastery stay was absolutely fascinating, with breathtaking (literally and metaphorically) views. But honestly the trip was so wide ranging and packed with activity that it's hard to pick a favourite part.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
There is a LOT of walking, the 3/5 activity rating that the tour operator gives it is worth bearing in mind. In particular the mountain hike (on the day leaving Jeonju) and the monastery stay require a lot of uphill walking for full participation. However you can always choose less strenuous options, but you will definitely feel like you are missing out.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It gave a reasonably good understanding of how regular Koreans live day to day. It was good we used public transport a lot, and when we didn't it made sense to use public transport we at least used a minibus for rural travel.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
It was excellent. It encourages me to do smaller group travel again!Amy Cochran review 13 Apr 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
April is beautiful time to see the cherry blossoms in South Korea. Also enjoyed experiencing the countryside outside of Seoul.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
It is great to go with a group on a foodie vacation as you get to try so many different dishes. My favorites were the seafood, Korean BBQ, and amazing Korean fried chicken. Korean food can be very spicy, but you always have the option to the red chili paste separately.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
A lot of fun!Nigel Hunt review 16 Apr 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Traveling around Seoul in my free time visiting the historic Palaces and Secret Garden.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Overall, I found the trip very disappointing. There was little else of interest apart from the different food. I would ensure that you spend time in Seoul before or after so add value. I would also question the value of it......given transport, food and hotels are included, but the hotels and transport were but 25% of the total trip costs if you'd have booked them yourself on line.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, in that it used local buses and trains in the main,4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Enjoyable in parts...but not enough good food experiences and other interests to justify the cost. Definitely not value for money in my eyes.Hi Nigel,
