• Flexible itineraries, whether you've got ten days to explore the best of the country or a shorter trip staying in Seoul
• Local flavors: Sample K-BBQ or Korean fried chicken in Seoul, try tteokbokki or kimbap at the food stalls in Gwangjang Market, or feast on fresh seafood in Jeju Island.
• Cultural experiences like a temple stay, renting a hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) to wear while visiting palaces and traditional villages, taking a taekwondo (Korean martial arts) class, or visiting popular K-drama filming locations
• Outdoor adventures like hiking Hallasan, a dormant volcano and the tallest mountain in South Korea, surfing Songjeong Beach in Busan, or taking in panoramic views from the Samaksan Mountain Lake Cable Car
• Exploring history through touring the DMZ and looking out at North Korea from the Odusan Observatory, or traveling back in time to the ancient city of Gyeongju
• The best of Seoul's shopping and nightlife: sing your heart out at a noraebang (singing room) in Gangnam, shop at K-beauty stores in Myeongdong, or browse traditional Korean crafts, antiques, and tea houses of the Insadong neighborhood.
