Your accommodation is in Insa-dong, located in the heart of the city, and one of the cultural and artistic hubs of Seoul. There is one main road in Insa-dong with alleys on each side. Within these alleys are galleries, traditional restaurants, teahouses, and cafes. There are about 100 galleries in the area and are the heartbeat of Insa-dong. The most famous galleries are Hakgojae Gallery, which functions as the centre of folk art, Gana Art Gallery, which promotes many promising artists, and Gana Art Centre. The teahouses and restaurants are the perfect complement to the galleries and are hidden deep within the twisting alleyways, making it feel like a treasure hunt.

Today is a free day to explore the amazing city of Seoul at leisure or take part in an optional tour (not included).

Optional Activity: Korean DMZ (Demilitarised Zone) Tour - $130 per person
Nowhere is the tension between North and South Korea more palpable than in the no-man's-land known as the Korean Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ. Located on each side of the 38th parallel, this infamous border was established at the end of the war in 1953 at the signing of Panmunjom’s armistice in order to separate North and South Korea.
 
This morning you'll head towards the North Korean border where you'll take the gondola for a perfect bird eye view of the Demilitarized Zone. Then, visit Dokgae Bridge which symbolises the pains of war and separation. The skywalk experience will be divided into three themes: past, present, and future.
 
Proceed to Bunker Beat 131, a military underground bunker constructed during the Korean War turned into a unique exhibition space. You can feel the atmosphere of a military facility from the entrance. Walking down the stairway, you will see the situation room of the command during wartime.
 
Afterwards, you will head through passport security control and visit the Odusan Unification Observatory (closed every Monday), which is on the South Korean Side of the 38th parallel. After receiving a brief and listening to the precautions, you can watch a 3D film about the war, and then we can vividly see the North Korean villages, people working, and their daily lives. 
 
The tower gives a view of North Korea at a glance and is a special place to experience the division of a nation and the life of North Korean people. Using binoculars, you can see the North Korean territory from the 304 square feet, 500-person capacity observatory. There's also an exhibition hall with displays on the conflict.
 
Then, you will enjoy the Imjingak Resort, which has various war-related artefacts as well as boasting the spacious Pyeonghwa Nuri Park. The resort preserves the Freedom Bridge and Imjingang rail bridge from the Korean War to remind people of the past, along with a Memorial Hall, memorial monuments, the Bell of Unification Last Train Out, The Bridge of No Return and other recreational areas.
 
Please note:
• This tour requires a minimum of 5 travellers to operate.
• You must bring your passport for ID checks.
• The Odusan Unification Observatory is closed every Monday so will be replaced by the Imjingak Peace Observatory.
• The tour may be cancelled without notice in case of an emergency military meeting or other critical situation.
• If the Seoul City Tour falls on a Tuesday, this free day will be swapped with the City Tour on Day 2 due to Gyeongbokgung Palace being closed on Tuesdays.

This morning we will visit Yunjung-no road - one of the most popular cherry blossom streets in Yeouido, Seoul - with its 1.7km long cherry blossom tunnel.

From Seoul, we head to the celebrated village of Jeonju, famous for its Korean food and traditional buildings.

In May 2012, Jeonju was chosen as a Creative City for Gastronomy as part of UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network. This honour recognises the city’s traditional home cooking handed down through generations, its active public and private food research, its system for nurturing talented chefs, and its hosting of local food festivals.

First up, visit the Hanji Industry Center (Korean Traditional Mulberry paper). As Korea’s first centre specialising in paper, it has an extensive collection of 3,000 artefacts and a database documenting the long history and superiority of Hanji (Korean paper). You also get DIY experience in making Korean paper with wooden tools and take home as a souvenir.

Afterwards, enjoy a stop at Wansan Park to admire the Cherry blossom then continue onwards to Jeonju Hanok Village, the largest Korean Village, with various traditional cultural facilities in the downtown area. Finish at your centrally-located hotel where you can enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Meals included: Breakfast

This morning check out and transfer to the city of Jinhae, famous for its annual Cherry Blossom Festival and the only place in the world where visitors can find more than 340,000 cherry blossoms in one city. The neighbourhood turns white and pale pink during the annual cherry blossom festival period with the gentle breeze blowing about the petal snowflakes.

Afterwards, visit Gamcheon Culture Village in Busan, formed by houses built in staircase fashion on the foothills of a coastal mountain, earning this village the nickname "Machu Picchu of Busan". Continue onwards to the Jagalchi Fish Market, the largest fish market in Korea and a popular “must-go” site for visitors in Busan. Finish the day at your centrally-located hotel where you can enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Please note: The Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival usually runs for 10 days and the schedule is announced close to the date when the bloom is more predictable. In 2023, it operated from 25th of March to the 5th of April, and in 2024 it is rumoured to begin on the 18th of March. The 2025 dates will not be released until early 2025. If the departure date you travel on misses out on the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival, you will still visit the city to enjoy the sightseeing and hundreds of thousands cherry blossom trees on display.

This morning you’ll visit Huinnyeoul Culture Village, a charming coastal village located on the sloping cliff of Yeongdo in Busan. In December 2011, the old houses of the area were remodelled and the area was reborn as a unique culture and art village where you can walk through and visit the numerous cafes and galleries while enjoying the sweeping views of Busan and the ocean.

Afterwards, visit Songdo Beach where you can board the famous cable car to ride over the bay and enjoy views through the transparent floor of the cable car before stopping by the Sky Harbor Observatory Platform which offers beautiful views of the Songdo Sea and cable cars.

Return to Songdo Beach via the same cable car and take a short walk along the Songdo Cloud Walk which features sections of clear glass floor that creates the feeling of walking on top of the ocean. First opened in 2015, the 365-metre-long skywalk offers an amazing panoramic view of the surrounding area that has made the Skywalk a popular destination. You’ll then visit the Nurimaru APEC House, built to host the 2005 APEC Summit meeting at the tip of Dongbaek Island ( 동백섬), which stands near Haeundae Beach. This eye-catching glass building has been one of Busan’s symbolic places ever since.

Finally, you’ll visit the UN Memorial Cemetery ( Note. No sportswear/No revealing clothing/No strapless slippers.) after driving over the 7.4-kilometre Gwangandaegyo Bridge which is the longest bi-level bridge over the ocean in Korea.

On the way back to the hotel, you can visit Nampodong International Market which is one of Korea’s largest markets. Each alleyway is crowded with stalls and connects to Bupyeong Market, Kkangtong Market and other smaller markets. The market stocks such a wide variety of goods that you can find almost everything you need.

Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.

However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.
