Soulful South Korea

Lovers of East Asian cuisine will fall head over heels for South Korea, and our 10-day tour showcases the finest foodie traditions of this beautiful country. You’ll visit Sokcho fish market, dine monk-style during a Korean temple stay and have dinner at a traditional Hanok in Gyeongju, but the tastebuds will really start tingling when we reach the coastal city of Busan, Korea’s culinary capital. Gorge on Busan Hotteok – a sweet-filled pancake treat – and visit the city’s iconic fish market, before hitting the beach to sip soju – a clear, subtly sweet Korean spirit. You’ll also be treated to an authentic cooking class, after which you’ll be able to wash down your creations with rice wine, before winding down with a traditional tea ceremony. The trip ends in nearby Jeonju, a charming old city famous for birthing Bibimbap, perhaps the most iconic dish in all of Korea. Eating this picture-perfect rice bowl meal, in the place from whence it came, is the ideal farewell dinner to reflect on our sumptuous South Korean odyssey.
