Joined SA Tours for 8 days Korea & Jeju discovery tour in May 2011 with family. Though was my 3rd time to Korea but still love and fascinated by Korean's culture and food. The tour package was about $1,750 plus per person which includes a deluxe and comprehensive itinerary where most of the meals were included. Weather was good and cool as it was still Spring, only towards the end of the trip weather got warmer. And the best part was this was a gift trip for me, thank you Uncle!
