Trip highlights

Trip Information

Mee and Khoi arrived in South Korea and experienced everything themselves before putting it down on the trip for you to discover. This is ensured to be the “one-of-a-kind” journey that will surprise you with every single second in it. 

The challenge for Mee, Khoi and, of course, you is to explore South Korea in a way that no one has ever done before. We confirm that “You can do it!”. South Korea is not just about beauty tech, romantic dramas, and famous dishes on social media. This beautiful country has more to be explored: unique alleyways to immerse in dazzling sunsets, super “artistic” locals who are always willing to connect, and amazing hidden local nightclubs. Join us and see what else South Korea has in store!

Day 1

SETTING UP THE MOOD (Lunch, Dinner included)

Then, the team will head to the hotel (with city view) for check-in. Rest up and get ready for the next round of eating and playing, starting a few hours later.

Light Trekking at Dongbaek Beach

Take a leisurely stroll up the wooden stairs of Dongbaek seaside and be enchanted by the stunning coastal views of artistic Busan. Small suggestion: You can climb up to the nearby rocky outcrop to capture the most beautiful photos.

Museum 1

Museum 1 is the artistic and creative heart of Busan. Here, you will have a quality me-time to indulge in the creative inspirations.

Lunch

Experience an authentic Southern Korean lunch, a refreshing plain meal that challenges the typical social media portrayal of Korean cuisine. A huge bonus:  You can admire the iconic Haeundae Sky Capsule through the window while enjoying your meal.

Haeundae Sky Capsule

A must-visit spot when visiting Busan 😉 The train track runs along the coast and “bathes” in the sunset’s dreamy hues.

Savor “mouthwatering” grilled eel at the city’s bustling Fish Market to cap off your day.

Day 2

QUIET DAY (Lunch, Dinner included)

Estimated Walking Distance: 2 KM

Check out and Lunch

Day 3

Day 3: SLOW DAY (Breakfast, Dinner included)

Estimated Walking Distance: 6 KM

Gyeongju Folk Craft Village

After a tranquil time for self-reflection, it’s time for us to strengthen our bonds. Gyeongju Folk Craft Village is a perfect place for these amazing connections. Check out the Temple at 11AM and take the bus to Gyeongju (60 minutes estimated.)

Hanok Ancient House

Throughout the journey, you will experience different architectural styles of South Korean houses. In Gyeongju, the centuries-old Hanok House is renowned for its high-pitched roofs designed to facilitate optimal air circulation, providing a cool environment in summer and warm in winter.

Super hidden and cute secondhand bookstore

This is a unique place in the Village that Mee & Khoi are proud to have found, and we’ve even connected with the owners. The stories of the South Koreans who “flee the city” are always ready to be shared in a space that couldn’t be more adorable, beneath nothing but blue sky.

Gyeongju’s iconic spots

Stroll through Tomb Park, visit Woljeong Gyo Bridge, and admire the mesmerizing reflection of Donggung Palace on Wolji Lake. All of these create breathtaking check-in moments.

Dinner

A traditional meal of over 20 dishes served after a long day of exploring. Each bite is a surprise with its rich yet delicate flavors. The entire meal is a fantastic culinary experience you won’t find anywhere else. Do you think you can finish this meal? 😉

Day 4

EXCITING DAY (Night Food Tour included)

Estimated Walking Distance: 8 KM

Seoul 

Are you ready to party hard in one of Asia’s most dazzling metropolises? We will check out and “touch” Seoul in only 2 hours by KTX (high speed train).

Seoul City Wall 

What could be better than immediately exposing yourself to Seoul’s “alleyway culture” and beholding the city beneath the afternoon sun right after your arrival? We’ll take you through small shops, stone staircases, traditional houses, etc. that have made your heart flutter since you first saw them on TV.

BBQ

The area surrounding our hotel is one of the TOP BBQ spots in Seoul. It’s time to embrace the local night vibe and fire up the grill:  “1, 2, 3 ZÔ!”, sizzling meats, handsome “Oppa” and pretty “Yeoshin” and deep talks. Notice: We guarantee a genuine local experience but cannot tell if loneliness finds you.

Free & easy Schedule: Myeongdong Night Market

After getting drunk as a skunk, if you still have energy, let’s go shopping at Myeongdong. If not, you can go straight back to the hotel to rest and prepare for the “peak of emotions” tomorrow 😉

Day 5

OVERWHELMING DAY (Breakfast, Snacks while learning to make rice wine included)

Estimated Walking Distance: 10 KM

Breakfast and the most unique Starbucks in Seoul

Surprise, right? We can find Starbucks literally anywhere, so why come here to get it? Your doubts will vanish as soon as you step into the Starbucks hidden within a local market, repurposed from a 60-year-old abandoned cinema. When Possible Tours pick a spot, it’s never ordinary 😉

Fresh Ginseng Market

Visit South Korea’s largest fresh ginseng market where you can buy precious herbs at very reasonable prices. Meanswhile, discover more than 100 famous Kimchi dishes from this country. And guess what? There will be a surprise guest joining us.

Seokcheon Lakeside – Lotte World and Gangnam

Our special guest will guide us through Seoul’s most opulent avenues. Seize this opportunity to shop till you drop and discover the “heart” of Seoul.

Sauna/ Steam Room 

This is one of the must-try experiences that you shouldn’t miss. It’s not only about Sauna or Steam Room but also Karaoke time – a great midday break to recharge for the last unforgettable night in Seoul.

Rice Wine Class 

Forget about boring traditional classes. Here, you’ll learn how to make Makgeolli from A to Z in a private pub with a special instructor of South Korean descent, but born in Ecuador and raised in the United States. The cultural fusion in his thinking will make the class much more “playful” and interesting.

Overnight Intimate Chat

We’ll stay up all night reminiscing about our trip. Let’s make these memories last forever. You know what’s even better? You can take it easy tomorrow morning because our flight back will depart quite late 😉

Day 6

NOSTALGIC DAY (Lunch included)

Estimated Walking Distance: 1 KM

Lunch

At Possible Tours, you always have time for a little extra sleep after a long night of partying. Afterwards, we’ll enjoy ginseng chicken soup together – a great hangover cure before heading to the airport.

Airport

Although our time in South Korea has come to an end, the wonderful memories we’ve made will stay with us forever. Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to our next adventure together.
