“K-pop & K-drama are always a big drive and with recent social media trends, people are asking for more ‘trendy’ excursions,” says Rebecca Barry, Senior South Korea Product Executive, InsideAsia Tours. An example of this would be the Color Analysis excursion where travelers are matched to colors that would complement their skin tone and then informs their makeup and fashion choices.
“While Korea is adjusting to international tourism the infrastructure still has a way to go,” says Barry. “Even booking trains and buses is challenging if you don’t have a Korean credit card.” That’s why group tours, like Soul of Korea, are popular especially for solo travelers. Korea in general is always changing and Seoul changes the fastest. “There’s always a new trend—Salt Bread seems to be having a moment right now—or new popular area to explore,” says Barry.Seoul: The Heart of South Korea
Seoul, the bustling capital of South Korea, is a city where skyscrapers coexist with ancient palaces, where the latest trends emerge while centuries-old traditions persist. With a dynamic mix of culture, history, and technology, Seoul is the perfect gateway for exploring the best of Korea. “Seoul is very walkable, it’s a mix of history and culture with ultra-modern, amazing cafés and shopping,” says Barry.
A unique way to explore this city is with an e-bike tour. A popular route takes you to Gwanghwamun square, Gyeongbok Palace, the Hidden West Village, Tongin Traditional Market, the Presidential Blue House, Insadong and Jogyesa Temple. These are some of the city’s most iconic landmarks and you’ll also ride past bustling markets and local parks.
