About This Program

A 12-day private journey through South Korea's cultural heartland — from Joseon-era palaces and UNESCO heritage villages to volcanic island landscapes and Asia's most exciting culinary scene.

This meticulously crafted 12-day journey reveals South Korea at its most extraordinary — a nation where 600-year-old Confucian villages exist alongside the world's fastest 5G networks, where Michelin three-star restaurants draw on centuries of temple cuisine tradition, and where volcanic island landscapes offer hiking trails rivalling any on earth. Begin in Seoul, where Joseon-era palaces and bustling markets give way to a culinary scene now ranked among Asia's finest. Travel south to Andong's UNESCO heritage villages, then to Busan's dramatic coastal temples and vibrant fish markets. Conclude on Jeju Island — a volcanic UNESCO Geopark rising from the Pacific — before returning to Seoul for a farewell celebration of Korea's extraordinary gastronomic range.
