Your journey begins in Seoul. After arriving and settling in, you’ll have a little time to ease into the trip before meeting Sherry and the group for the first time. In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome party, share our first meal together, and let the trip slowly begin to take shape.
Later, we head to Hongdae for a fun first night out. With its music, bright streets, and youthful energy, it’s the perfect place to start the week together. It’s an easy, lively beginning and a chance to make those first memories that always seem to stay with you.
Meals included: Dinner
-
Today, we step into a more historic side of the city. We begin at Gyeongbokgung Palace, where Seoul’s royal past still feels close, then continue on a K-drama tour through places that feel instantly familiar and exciting to see in person.
Later, we make our way to Gwangjang Market, where the city feels warmer, louder, and more delicious. Between palace grounds, drama locations, and local food, the day moves through some of Seoul’s most loved layers all at once.
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
-
This morning, we explore Seongsu, one of Seoul’s most creative neighborhoods. Full of character, cafés, shops, and a more modern rhythm, it offers a different side of the city from the palaces and markets we’ve already seen.
As the day continues, we spend time by the Han River, one of the places locals naturally gather to slow down and enjoy the city. Later, we end the night with noraebang, because no fun trip through Korea feels complete without singing together at least once.
Meals included: Lunch
-
Today, we leave Seoul and head south to Busan. Once we arrive, we ease into the city with lunch in Haeundae, where the coastal atmosphere immediately shifts the mood of the trip.
From there, we ride the Sky Capsule for sweeping sea views, then step onto a yacht to experience Busan from the water. By evening, we make our way to Gwangalli, where the lights, ocean air, and city skyline come together in one of Busan’s most memorable settings.
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
-
Today, we explore a more textured and local side of Busan. We begin in Gamcheon Culture Village, where winding alleys, hillside colors, and quiet corners give the city a different kind of beauty.
Later, we continue to Gukje Market, one of the places where Busan’s everyday rhythm still feels close. Then we join a cooking class, giving you the chance to experience Korean food in a more hands-on and personal way. It’s a day full of local flavor, lived-in streets, and the kind of moments that help a place feel more real.
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
-
Today, we travel to Gyeongju, one of Korea’s most historic and atmospheric cities. After lunch, we begin exploring some of its best-loved sites, including Woljeonggyo Bridge, Cheomseongdae, and Daereungwon.
In the afternoon, we check into our hanok stay, which brings a quieter and more rooted feeling to this part of the trip. At night, we visit Donggung Palace and Wolji, where the reflections on the water and the calm of the evening make for one of the most beautiful moments of the journey.
Meals included: Lunch
-
This morning begins at Bomun Lake, where we stop at Café Arden and enjoy a slower start to the day. After several cities and many shared moments, this part of the trip gives everyone a little more room to breathe and take it all in.
Later, we visit Gyeongju Expo Park and enjoy some free time before gathering for one last meal together. Final dinners always carry a different kind of feeling — a little softer, a little fuller, and marked by the sense that the group has become something real along the way.
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
-
Today, we make our way back to Seoul. The journey may be ending, but you’ll leave with memories shaped by old cities, coastal views, shared meals, and a group that never stayed strangers for long.
From Seoul to Busan to Gyeongju, this trip is designed to show you different sides of Korea — lively and quiet, modern and historic, playful and deeply rooted — all shared together, one day at a time.
Our goal is to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience, from start to finish. We can’t wait to welcome you to Korea!
