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.

Overall

Passports, I cannot begin to thank you enough for helping craft such a spectacular tour! Being a theatre educator, having some arts experiences was important to me — and you delivered. My students and I were talking about the workshop for days! Josephine and the Mouse Singer at the Greek National Opera House was unlike anything my students or I had experienced before.

Overall

This was an outstanding tour experience from start to finish. The trip flowed extremely well, with strong attention to detail at every stage. Even when minor issues arose, they were addressed quickly and professionally, which reinforced confidence in the Passports team. I am very much looking forward to my next trip with Passports and would confidently recommend them to any educator.
