Exploring South Korea: A Cultural Excursion

Seoul is one of the most dynamic cities in East Asia, and eight days there is just enough time to start peeling back its layers — from the Joseon-era palaces at its historic core to the neon-lit streets of Hongdae and the street-food stalls of Gwangjang Market. This tour plants your group firmly in the South Korean capital from Day 3 through Day 7, using a centrally located hotel as a base so students can move through the city's neighborhoods with purpose rather than rushing between distant stops.

What teachers say

Verified by teachers — two ways.

On the left, the public Trustpilot reviews any group leader can write — and any future group leader can read. On the right, quotes from the private post-tour evaluation that every group leader fills out after their trip ends. See all teacher evaluations.

Reviews on Trustpilot are public and verified. Trustpilot prohibits companies from paying to have them removed — so what teachers say here is exactly what teachers said about traveling with Passports.

Truly, this was a trip of dreams. The company worked with me to specialize a few things. The balance of planned activities and free time was PERFECTLY balanced.

Great tour! We loved being in only 2 hotels and we were able to move at our own pace. One of our best tours ever.
