This was a great trip to explore further afield in South Korea. Bergen developed an itinerary that was an enjoyable mix of nature, history, culture, tradition, good food and activity. We always felt safe - Bergen is a good driver with a quality car with plenty of room. Accommodation was also of good quality with great choice for breakfast each day. He knew the best places to eat - from restaurants with awards to small country eateries with lots of character serving local delicacies. Communication was great ahead of time and Bergen adapted the itinerary to meet our needs such as ensuring we had some physical activity each day and getting us to the airport ahead of an evening flight - and when this was cancelled as we neared the airport - Bergen helped greatly in finding and organising the unforeseen extra night's accommodation we needed. The west and south of Korea has much to commend it - it is less crowded than the east but the views of farms, mountains and villages as we travelled certainly made for an enjoyable journey. There is also lots of history - with visits to an ancient capital, historic towns, museum, temples and traditional buildings and gardens. Bergen was able to give an outline of key facts as well as answer a range of questions we had. The nature part of the journey was fabulous. Bergen has a great interest in the outdoors having hiked the top 100 mountains. A highlight of the trip was the opportunity to visit the wetlands of Suncheon Bay. We were able to explore these on boardwalks constructed across vast expanses and learn of the success of now attracting half of the world's hooded cranes. The only downside was that there was so much we could have done that it would have been good to have had some extra days to explore further! Hopefully we can organise another trip with Bergen Park in the future.
The five-day tour with you and your spouse was truly wonderful. We were blessed with Korea’s typical clear and beautiful autumn weather, colorful foliage, and you both enjoyed the traditional Korean dishes made with local specialties from each region we visited — which made me very happy. Thank you very much for your detailed review; it will be extremely helpful for other guests to better understand our five-day tour of Korea’s western region. I look forward to traveling with you both again in the future. Once again, thank you for your kindness. I’m grateful that we were able to enjoy the five-day West Korea tour and the two-day Seoraksan hiking together.
