This tour was wonderful, and our tour director was Cat. Great mix of educational experiences, culture, food, shopping, and sightseeing. It really opened our eyes to see what's out there. Plan to walk a lot.
From the Payment plan and travel package everything went well and we didn’t have to think about anything I would use this service again
We visited South Korea in April of 2026, staying in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. There were lots of activities planned for each day, so sometimes our stops felt a little rushed. But overall it was a good thing, because we got to see a variety of places and get a feel for each of them. Enough so that I would love to return in the future and explore Korea with more time. In Gyeongju, the Seokguram temple was my highlight - just breathtaking! Busan was a fascinating blend of modernity and old-fashioned places. And Seoul was vibrant and fun. Our taekyeon class was superb, and the Nanta performance was also something unique and fun. The journey to N Seoul Tower, and the amazing views at the top, were fantastic. Our guide, Simon, was kind, open, knowledgeable and funny too. He kept us on schedule and when anything went wrong he fixed it immediately. 5 stars very well deserved!
Very well organized at both the school and EF levels. Adequate emails to prepare for travel requirements and tips. Our tour guide was fantastic and made all the difference. Days were planned to introduce us to many aspects of daily life in South Korea, along with history and culture. Visiting the DMZ and Korean War Museum were meaningful.
amazing!!!!
Excellent comunication and service!!!
Excellent service
Nothing but great things to say about EF Tours. My daughter had the opportunity to go on a senior trip of her lifetime to South Korea and she had the time of her life. The entire trip was well organized and EF Tour did not disappoint. There was not one glitch in her trip and everything went as planned. Thank you EF Tours for making this trip one my daughter will never forget. I highly recommend EF Tours for your travel needs.
Another great discover tour! We enjoyed learning about the intricate and rich history of Korea, and its colorful pop culture present.
Safe & great tour for all around.
Great experience!
Too much time spent at the mall. Would have liked more time to try local street food rather than always eating at formal/chain type restaurants.
Our tour guide JJ was amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable and really tried to make sure we had the best tour possible. Unfortunately, one of the hotel accommodations that we stayed at for two nights was pretty terrible. The air air-conditioning in our room didn’t work well and it was very hot, the breakfast in the morning was just terrible. The room smelled like mildew and the wallpaper was peeling and it was just gross in general. My daughter has severe celiac disease, and I was told that she could be accommodated, but it really wasn’t accommodated well at all. We ended up spending extra money for the main meals that should have been covered by the tour simply because of her medically necessary dietary restrictions. She was also sequestered because she was eating steak while everyone else was eating the standard meals. Most of the time she had to eat plain chicken from a convenience store and white rice for breakfast so she often felt hungry and unsatisfied with the food. It’s not fun to watch other people eat waffles and fries while you eat cold chicken and rice day after day. We would often stop at a museum or somewhere interesting and have very limited amounts of time to explore while we would stop to shop every single day and have more than enough time.
I took 9 girls 2 boys and 2 moms with me to South Korea and it was a trip of a lifetime. The students loves the shopping, culture, and the new experiences. Some highlights included, wear Hanbok at the palace, the bullet train, the cooking class was a blast, DMZ was great (but hard), and learning about the history and perspectives of others was life changing. Everyone one we met were so nice.
This is a wonderful trip with a great jam packed itinerary. You truly see the beauty of of South Korea on this trip with all three cities. I was constantly surprised and enraptured. Our group really bonded by the end. The food is amazing with a great variety of cuisines. The cooking class is a highlight. Amazing trip overall.
Having lived and worked in Korea years ago, it was my desire to share a country that was so precious and beautiful to me with my students. It was nice for them to see firsthand a place and a people who are still gracious and welcoming. Also did not feel as fast-paced and bustling as other more tourist destinations.
Activities were fun and interesting
Fantastic trip to South Korea! Everything was so well done, got to see a great variety of sites and cities, and we had the best tour guide- Jinny Kim. Great value for the price. We hope to travel with EF again in the future!
The views were amazing. Our tour guide, Chang Mee(?), "Rose", was extremely nice. She was amazing. On the trip, I made many mew friends from another state, which was nice. The ONLY thing that I wish was better was the selection of food we had for dinner. Basically every single day, we would get beef, made the same exact way each time. I really wanted to try some fresh seafood as I don't get to eat it very much. But overall, it was great.
