The Itinerary
Day 1 - Touchdown in Seoul
Welcome to South Korea! Your adventure kicks off as you land in the dazzling capital city of Seoul. After being greeted at the airport, you’ll transfer to your hotel where you can freshen up and settle in. Take a moment to soak in the energy: neon lights, bustling streets, and a skyline that never sleeps.
Seoul is a city where old and new blend seamlessly. Imagine strolling through ancient palaces and tranquil temples, then turning the corner to find high-tech towers, stylish cafés, and lively markets buzzing with life. Whether it’s the aroma of sizzling street food, the hum of K-pop in the air, or the charm of hidden alleyways waiting to be explored, Seoul is ready to sweep you off your feet.
Day 2 - Seoul Like a Local
Meet your WOLO Local Leader and begin with an introduction to Seoul. You’ll receive your T-Money transport card, followed by a quick briefing on how to use the Seoul Metro.
Take a short walk to Deoksugung Palace for a guided tour of one of Seoul’s most beautiful royal palaces.
After exploring the palace, continue to City Hall Station and put your new metro knowledge into practice with a short subway journey. You’ll then visit Namdaemun Market, where you can taste traditional Korean snacks and enjoy some free time to browse the stalls.
Slow things down with a stop at a modern Korean café before making your way to HiKR Ground. Finish the experience surrounded by interactive exhibits, digital displays, K-pop culture and plenty of fun photo opportunities.
Day 3 - Seoul’s Grand Legacy
Today’s included experience takes you deeper into Seoul’s fascinating history.
Begin at Gyeongbokgung Palace before exploring the traditional streets and beautifully preserved homes of Bukchon Hanok Village. You’ll then visit Gwangjang Market, where the sights, sounds and energy offer another glimpse into local life.
Once the experience ends, the rest of the afternoon is yours. Continue sightseeing, shop in Myeongdong or find a café and enjoy watching the city go by.
Day 4 - Next Stop: Gyeongju
It’s time to swap Seoul’s skyscrapers for the historic charm of Gyeongju.
Check out of your Seoul hotel and head to the station, where you’ll board the KTX for your journey to Gyeongju. Sit back, relax and watch South Korea’s scenery pass by as you travel to your next destination.
Once you arrive settle into your traditional hanok-style stay before heading out to explore the surrounding streets, discover a local restaurant or simply enjoy the city’s slower pace and historic atmosphere.
Day 5 - Journey Through Korea’s Past
Today is yours to experience Gyeongju at your own pace.
Explore the city’s historic streets, ancient royal tombs, traditional neighbourhoods and peaceful temple grounds. You could spend the day following Gyeongju’s cultural landmarks, stop for coffee along the way or wait until evening to see some of the city’s historic sites beautifully illuminated.
There’s no need to rush. Gyeongju is best enjoyed slowly, with plenty of time to take in the stories and scenery around you.
Day 6 - Back to Seoul
Enjoy your final morning in Gyeongju before making your way to the station for your KTX journey back to Seoul.
Once you arrive in the capital, make your way to your hotel and check in for your final night. The evening is completely free for last-minute shopping, another round of Korean street food or a farewell dinner in one of your favourite neighbourhoods.
Day 8 - Farewell, South Korea!
Check out of your hotel and meet your private airport transfer at the arranged time.
