South Korea takes us from Seoul’s neon-lit energy and grand palaces to cherry blossom season in full bloom, historic Gyeongju and colourful, seaside Busan. Ancient temples, rainbow-painted villages and coastal cherry blossom festivals reveal a country where every stop brings a new possibility.
“An awesome experience from start to finish — temples, palaces, city life, all covered, with hotels right in the middle of it all. I made friends I know will last a lifetime, and I’m already planning my next trip with WeGoBond.”
-Pratima Rao
