Viajera de Korea Tour bajo los faroles de loto del cumpleaños de Buda, en un templo de Busan.

“This was my first big trip and, without a doubt, I fulfilled a dream: getting to know Korea, which was my greatest wish. I take so much from this trip, especially the culture and food of Japan, which surprised and delighted me. I also want to mention our guide Sol, who was brilliant. I grew really fond of her and she definitely made the experience even more special. I would travel with Korea Tour again without hesitation. I'm left wanting to see the Korean cities we couldn't visit and to keep discovering the country in more depth.”

Frequently asked questions

What everyone asks before booking.

All questions

If I don’t live in Buenos Aires, can I book the tour?

Yes, of course. In that case there are two options. Those who live in another city in Argentina or in another country can come to Buenos Aires to meet us at Ezeiza airport on the day of departure, or travel directly to South Korea from their home city and meet us at Seoul airport with the rest of the group.

How long before the trip should I buy my flights?

Ideally, tickets should be issued within the 6 months before the trip. If you book a tour with the international flight included, we take care of that process.

How far in advance can I book a tour?

Tours can be booked up to 3 months before departure.

Are there age restrictions for travelling?

There are no minimum or maximum age restrictions. We recommend that travellers under 15 be accompanied by an adult, parent or guardian.

Is there a maximum group size?

Yes. We cap groups at 20 people so that the service is as personal as possible.

What is the weather like in South Korea in April and December?

April is springtime, with temperatures between 7 °C and 18 °C. December is winter, with an average temperature around −3 °C. We recommend warm clothing and footwear for the December departures, as it usually snows in Korea.
