Review for Scenic South Korea (2024)
Excellent from start to finish. Thoroughly well planned from centrally situated hotels to a packed itinerary full of interest. Our guide Ms. Michelle Kim was truly an experienced professional, safely and smoothly leading our group of disparate ages, personalities and nationalities.

Review for Scenic South Korea
Excellent holiday with very experienced and helpful tour manager. Small friendly group, good hotels, meals except for breakfast local Korean restaurants with lots of explanations as to what and how to eat. Never used chop sticks before but quite good at end of holiday but always with the option of forks etc. Would highly recommend

A comprehensive overview of S Korea packed into less than 2 weeks. Excellent logistics and many enjoyable and informative things included.

Review for Scenic South Korea
Alexia was very helpful and knowledgeable. I liked the fact I was informed every step of my booking to the last minute when my ticket and itinerary arrived. Everything about this holiday was great, The scenery was breathtaking. The food was excellent. There was something different to visit and marvel. The Tour Guide was friendly and easy to get on with. I will definitely book with Wendy Tours again. I fell in love with South Korea and I can’t wait to return.

Review for Scenic South Korea
A visit to S. Korea with Wendy Wu was a great shorthand to know a little more and to highlight where to come back to. It’s a fascinating place with an incredible history. The tour was well organised with a joyful guide who made the trip a stress free pleasure. No one can really see a country in two weeks but a trip touching on so many sides of the place was a great way to get a feel of it and feel confident enough to go again independently. I would go again after this trip and also I’d use Wendy Wu Tours again to see other countries to get a feel for if I’d return.

Booking Experience for Scenic South Korea
Julia could not have been more patient or helpful. She listened carefully to all my queries and I never felt hurried or pushed into making a decision I had not had time to consider carefully. It was a real pleasure to be able to discuss our potential trip with her and not surprisingly next morning I clinched the booking.
The overall cost , including some extras was within budget.
Now I can’t wait to go!!

Booking Experience for Essence of South Korea & Japan
I found the customer very helpful and supportive. What I really liked was how quickly the booking came through via email and that I was able to go straight into the customer portal to check everything and what my outstanding balance is. It appears that I can book my flight separtely with them once I know my personnal intinery

South Korea Travel Faq

  • Any time from March to May is a lovely temperate climate to explore. If a cooler climate is your preference, then a visit between September and November will allow you the opportunity to watch the autumnal colours change across the landscape.

    Did you know that South Korea also has a spectacular Cherry Blossom season? The Best time to see this is in March. 

  • Korean cuisine is delicious, colourful and healthy. Meals are usually served with a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup and consist usually of banchan (side dishes) including Kimchi (seasoned and fermented vegetable), fish and meat. Most food is eaten with chopsticks so best get practicing as cutlery is not always available at restaurants. Korean food is generally hot and spicy compared to Chinese and Japanese cuisine.
     

  • South Korea is the ultimate destination for exploration, be that independently or with a guide. If you like having an expert at your side for the duration of your trip, we would highly recommend having a guide for your tour. They will be able to take you to the iconic sights as well as the hidden gems with no troubles as well as share their passion, and love for their local region. A guide will be your local resource throughout your trip, whether that be to talk about the history of a place or to suggest an excellent restaurant! South Korea can of course be done independently but we would still recommend a guide or local to be on hand to point you in the right direction or help recommend where to go.


  • South Korean society and culture is built on intricate social etiquette and customs. As foreigners, we are not expected to be knowledgeable about all etiquette, but it will make your time in South Korea more enjoyable if you are respectful of local customs. Some examples of scenarios you may encounter include removing your shoes and hats when entering a temple or house (some restaurants as well). You may be supplied with slippers at some places, but please come prepared with plenty of spare socks, and shoes that are easy to take off for the fairly regular occasions when they must be removed. It is also more polite to use both hands when giving or receiving things, such as money or change. Your Local Guide will advise you of some of these other customs at the beginning of your tour.
     

  • An Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) is required for Australian passport holders and is included in all of our escorted group tours.
