Group Journeys in Korea

One journey, shared from the first evening to the last, and planned so that every member of the group feels it was made for them.

Create unforgettable moments together

A reunion of old friends, a circle of families traveling as one, a club or a private society with a shared passion. Groups ask for a particular kind of care: days that move smoothly for everyone, tables large enough to gather around, and room for each traveler to wander on their own.

Every group journey is planned from the beginning around who is coming. Rooms are arranged together, private transport waits at every stage, and private dining rooms are reserved for the evenings that bring everyone back to the same table.

One point of contact looks after the whole group before and during the journey, so no one has to be the organizer while you travel.

Two to three weeks across Korea

Most group journeys spend two or three weeks in the country, which leaves time for a capital, a second city and a slower stretch by the sea. A few of the routes our groups love:

Seoul, Gyeongju and Busan: The palaces and neighborhoods of Seoul, then the thousand year old royal capital of Gyeongju, with its temples and tomb gardens, and on to the coast of Busan for seafood, beaches and temples above the waves.
Seoul and Jeju: City days in Seoul followed by a volcanic island, with coastal walks, tea fields, private villas and the women divers who still work the shore.
A route of your own: Hot spring towns, mountain temples or a region your group has always wanted to see. Each route is drawn around the group, never taken from a template.

Seasonal and themed journeys

The best group journeys have a thread that runs through them. We shape each one around a season or a shared interest, so the days hold together as a story.

By season: Cherry blossom in spring, green tea and coastal days in summer, the autumn foliage of mountains such as Seoraksan, and hot springs and winter tables when the year turns cold.
By theme: Wellness and hot springs, temple and royal cuisine, Korean beauty and skincare, craft and traditional music, architecture, art and history. Themes can be combined, and a day can divide so each traveler follows what moves them.
Golf, tennis and active days: Rounds at courses such as those on Jeju or in the hills outside Seoul, private tennis courts, and hiking or cycling days that bring the group together outdoors, with a long lunch waiting at the end.
For the occasion: A milestone birthday, an anniversary shared with friends, or a reunion years in the making, marked with a private dinner or an evening arranged for the group alone.

Continue on to Japan

Korea and Japan sit a short flight apart, and many groups choose to end their journey with a week across the sea. Korea remains the heart of the journey, and we can arrange a Japan extension to follow it, with the same care over transfers, stays and tables.

Popular pairings include Tokyo and Kyoto, for temples, gardens and the old wooden streets of the former capital, or Tokyo and Osaka, for a livelier week built around food and the city at night.
