South Korea Real Food Adventure
Marie · Traveled August 2024
I recently returned from the South Korea Real Food Adventure with Intrepid, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience! From start to finish, the trip was an absolute delight, largely thanks to our incredible guides, Peter and Coby. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail truly made this one of the best tours I've ever taken with Intrepid.
Peter's leadership was outstanding; he ensured that every aspect of our journey was seamless and enjoyable. He had a perfect balance of keeping us on track while making sure we never felt rushed. His warmth and ability to bring the group together made each day feel like an adventure with friends rather than just a tour group.
Coby added an extra layer of depth to the experience with his insights and knowledge. He was always ready with fascinating information about the places we visited and the dishes we tried, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of South Korea's rich culinary culture.
Our group was fantastic, and Peter and Coby did an excellent job of fostering a fun and inclusive atmosphere. They even joined us on the nights when dinner wasn't included, offering superb restaurant recommendations that allowed us to experience the best of South Korean cuisine. These evenings were some of the highlights of the trip, filled with laughter, great food, and a genuine sense of camaraderie.
The itinerary was beautifully crafted—kudos to the team working behind the scenes! Each day was filled with valuable activities and experiences that showcased the very best of South Korea, yet the pace was relaxed and never felt overwhelming. The balance between guided experiences and free time was just right, allowing us to explore on our own while still feeling well-supported.
This was undoubtedly my favourite Intrepid tour to date, and that’s saying something! A huge thank you to Peter, Coby, and the entire Intrepid team for creating such a memorable and enriching adventure. I can't wait for my next journey with Intrepid!

Korea was a country that far exceeded my expectations. Led by Peter, the finest guide I have had in my many intrepid trips, I tasted so many new foods and met some new friends along the way.

I had an incredible trip to Korea! The vibrant culture, delicious food, and breathtaking landscapes left me in awe. Exploring bustling markets, historic temples, and stunning palaces was unforgettable. The warmth of the locals made the experience even more special. I can't wait to return and discover more of this beautiful country!

It’s a great trip. My advice. Is to book a few days before the trip starts and a few days after so you have time to do extra stuff yourself. Be adventures be brave
