Twenty years ago, when people were heading to the more developed Southeast Asian tourist and travel destinations, planning a trip to South Korea might not have been at the top of the list. However, the south of this geographical peninsula has enjoyed its own development as a travel destination and now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with some of its more familiar neighbors as a very modern Asian nation. Here at Secret Retreats, we are pleased to share this amazing destination with you via our South Korea tour package.
From K-Pop to fashion and Gangnam-Style to ancient style, South Korea tours can hold their own on the popular culture front. This country clearly doesn’t wish to mirror anywhere else in the region – it appears to hold a mirror to itself and clearly likes what it sees. Don’t just take their word for it—step outside the usual, explore the unusual, and book a visit to some of the must-see places in South Korea with the best South Korea tour package available in the Responsible Tourism market. With a carefully curated Secret Retreats South Korea trip package, you will experience some of the most interesting places in South Korea, while letting our curators take the hard work out of researching and planning your journey for you.

The Thrill of the Ride or a Breath of Fresh Air – A Seoul Travel Itinerary Has Everything
Why not treat yourself to both with our Seoul travel itinerary? There really is something for everyone in South Korea tours, whether you are traveling as a family, a couple, a friendship group, or you wish to explore this fascinating destination as a solo traveler. Visiting interesting places in South Korea has never been easier. Theme park junkies will be spoiled for choice with the many and varied thrills on offer in Seoul city and beyond. South Korea’s creatively designed indoor and outdoor theme parks, from teddy-bear islands to amazing mazes, provide endless excitement. If you are planning a trip to Seoul, why not ‘take it to the max’ by jumping on board?With a Seoul travel itinerary, you don’t need to be a thrill-seeker to enjoy the theme parks—there are underwater, overground, and winter-wonderlands all on offer. But if strolling through a theme park isn’t your thing, then taking in the natural beauty of South Korea’s landscapes might be.
One of the most beautiful places just outside Seoul city is the breathtaking Bukhansan National Park. With stunning views over the city, high peaks, and incredible rock formations, this national park appeals to those who love to immerse themselves in nature. For activity enthusiasts, it is a dream come true. With hiking trails ranging from beginner-friendly paths to those leading to dizzying summits, adventure seekers will find plenty to explore. Whether you prefer mountain biking, hiking, or simply picnicking next to meandering mountain streams, you’ll be able to experience South Korea like a local. Why not spend three perfect days in Seoul, as part of a longer South Korea tour package?
And don’t forget to find time to explore traditional Korean culture. A destination with a long and rich history, a stay in the old quarter of Seoul city, where the city’s nobility once lived, is a must for any Seoul travel itinerary. Today, visitors can stay in their historic residences—stunning Hanok villages, known for their charming wooden structures and peaceful courtyards. Bukchon has been an important residential area for more than 600 years, conveniently placed near Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was built in the late 1300s, and the similarly ancient Changdeok Palace. Set on a hill, Bukchon enjoys views of the modern city and is also home to some of the city’s best museums, historic architecture, and restaurants.
‘Jal-mukae-sumnida’ – South Korea On A Plate
It’s not just the capital that holds attractions for visitors—South Korean cuisine is a feast for the senses. While Korean BBQ restaurants have introduced the world to some of the nation’s favorite dishes, there is so much more to try when you dine like a local. From Bibimbap (a famous Korean mixed rice dish) to Kimbap (dried seaweed rolls similar to sushi), food lovers will be delighted by the rich culinary scene.Visitors should also make time to explore the coastal charms of Jeju Island, known for its fresh seafood and vibrant local markets. Not to forget the ubiquitous Mandu (savory dumplings) and the famous Subak Hwachae (Watermelon Punch Dessert), dining Korean-style is an experience in itself. Whether you prefer sampling street food delights or sitting cross-legged at a low table in a more formal dining setting, you will not be disappointed.
To accompany your meal, why not try the famous watermelon cocktail (Subak Soju) or a traditional Korean tea ceremony? Both are widely celebrated in this Land of the Morning Calm.
