Voyzo runs 2 private tours across 1 destination in South Korea, covering 10 attractions — each with your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and an itinerary built around your group rather than a fixed bus schedule.
South Korea is a densely populated East Asian nation of roughly 51 million people occupying the southern half of the Korean peninsula, with North Korea across the world's most heavily fortified border to the north. Since recovering from the devastation of the 1950-53 Korean War, it has become one of the world's most technologically advanced economies — a transformation often called the "Miracle on the Han River" — while exporting a global pop-culture wave of K-pop, K-dramas, and Korean cinema. Korean is the official language and the won (KRW) is the currency.
Voyzo's South Korea tours start in Seoul, with its royal palaces, hanok villages, and the DMZ border zone, then head south by high-speed train to Busan's markets and beaches, with one route continuing to volcanic Jeju Island and the other taking in the ancient Silla capital of Gyeongju and the traditional towns of Suncheon and Jeonju.
Both routes run with a private vehicle and English-speaking driver-guide for every day of city sightseeing, with KTX high-speed trains (and, for Jeju, a short domestic flight) linking the cities in between.

A 9-day South Korea route from Seoul's palaces to Busan's markets and beaches and volcanic Jeju Island, with a private driver and English-speaking guide throughout and high-speed KTX rail and a short domestic flight linking the cities.
Multi-Day Tours

Spring (April-May) for cherry blossoms and fall (September-November) for foliage are Korea's most comfortable seasons; summer (July-August) brings heat, humidity, and a monsoon season, while winter can be very cold, especially inland.
KTX high-speed trains link Seoul, Busan, Gyeongju, and other cities in a few hours, and Seoul's subway system is extensive and easy to navigate; Jeju Island, being an island, requires a short domestic flight.
South Korea uses the won (KRW); tipping isn't customary and can even cause confusion at restaurants, where service is already factored into the price.
Many nationalities, including the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, can enter South Korea visa-free for up to 90 days, though a K-ETA electronic travel authorization is required in advance for some visitors — check current requirements before you travel.
Tours to the Joint Security Area and DMZ require passport ID and have a dress code (no ripped jeans, military-style clothing, or flip-flops) and are sometimes closed on short notice for security reasons.
Korea's convenience stores (CU, GS25) are everywhere and useful for cheap meals, and most restaurants provide free side dishes (banchan) with any order.
