South Korea Tours, Holiday Packages and Travel Deals 2025 & 2026

We loved our trip to Japan and South Korea! We could not fault Trip a deal, everything was so well organised, hotels were great, we loved learning about the cultures and seeing some amazing sights! The best part was the food, we enjoyed everything we ate! We also meet some beautiful people, thanks for a wonderful experience.

Saw snow, rain, sun and wind in 3 seasons (winter, spring, summer) all in 1 trip.

A great trip from start to finish including the weather. Both driver and guide were knowledgeable, friendly an accommodating. The organised and optional tours were informative, a little exhausting but that is to be expected on a tour. For many it was their first trip a deal experience. We have been on several over the years and this one did not disappoint. Organising 34 people would not be an easy task, but Nicole (our guide) handled it well.

We had a great trip. It was a good balance of organised activities and free time. Our guide, Heni, was wonderful - stories about the culture, politics, history and family life. She was very attentive and helpful. The food was a highlight - Korea has a great variety of rice, noodles and soups. I'm missing all the kimchi already! Ordering was easy, as most places had and English version of the menu. (I only got caught out once, ordering tripe! But it tasted fine!!) Credit cards are widely accepted, but you need the physical card. The accommodation was in great central locations - good quality and lots to explore nearby with plenty of food options. This is our second Trip-a-deal holiday, and both were excellent.

It was great not having to worry about making my own way from and to the airport. I really liked visiting the Palace in Seoul and also going on the cable car. The one thing that ruined the trip was that 3 out of 4 of us got violently ill with gastro (in fact 9 out of the 22 on our tour got sick!). My husband and daughter missed various parts of the tour as they were ill and stayed in bed in the hotel while I got sick on the 10 hour plane trip home. One thing that did annoy me was the fact that I paid for the optional Bibimbap dinner for the 4 of us which cost me 4 x $30 = $120AUD, however, on the day, the tour guide suggested we just make it a lunch and the 6 people that didn't pay for this optional extra, also decided to have the meal with us and they only had to pay 15,000Wan (equates to $16AUD each) for their Bibimbap meal (and yet I paid $120 for the 4 of us and yet if I hadn't of booked this optional activity, I could have also still participated in having this meal with everyone else and yet only pay 4 x $16 = $64 instead of the $120 I paid. I felt this was unfair and I had been overcharged! I also don't like the idea that you are expected to tip, I feel it simply should be included in the fare so you are not made to feel awkward and you know what the holiday is costing you right from the start. Also, I had to pay for my flights from and to Tasmania adding an extra $1200 to my holiday cost, it would be great for tripadeal to include Tasmania with the flights as Tasmania is still part of Australia!

Very interesting country, geography and history, culture, food , great infrastructure and punctuality. Highlight was going up to the DMZ area, very interesting and being still so relevant today

I thought the trip was amazing. Seeing so much in a short time with the jam packed intinerary was value for money. Having the option of extra tours in which we did most of them cost a bit but probably worth their value. Our tour guide Tren in Japan was so knowledgeable with history and local foods, she was very professional with her job and quite entertaining as well. She worked above and beyond our expectations. In South Korea our guide Jade was also very knowledgeable and gave us ideas of what to do and how to get around in the free time we might have had.

Location of accommodation was great on all 3 locations our guide Lara was very good . We had time to do our own thing. Weather was great even had snow in Seoul on last day

We loved the cultural aspects of the tour in Japan and Korea. There was very goood explanations of the sites that we visited.

Well organised, excellent itinerary, good hotels

no need for improvements this trip was excellent guide was excellent as was the driver thank you

Efficient way of seing Korea - I enjoyed it.

This is a good deal with plenty of free time to explore on our own. Also hotel selection is very convenient because the hotels were located very close to city centres. I recommend this trip.
