The best time to go

When to go in South Korea?

The best period to go to South Korea is from September to November. It's at this time of year that the weather is the most pleasant and the natural colours are the most beautiful. It's also possible to go to South Korea in winter to see it covered in snow. Though spring can be pleasant too, the hotels and tourist sites are often crammed: it's during this period that Japanese tourists choose to visit. Summer is the most touristy period, but it's sometimes stiflingly hot and it can rain heavily in July: best to avoid it.

We were pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty of South Corea. The country was basically not on our bucket list, but we had wanted to go to Wladiwostok by Transsiberian Railway and then on to Donghae by ferry. Communication was often difficult because we met very few people who spoke English, not even the receptionists at the hotels. But with the help of Google Translate and sign language, it worked. People were very helpful.

Though we visited a lot of cities and places in 15 days, for some reason all the tour guides managed everything in such smooth way that we were never in a hurry and could visit all the places in a very relaxing way. Besides it was amazing how caring the all were with our 6 year old kid. Very impressive. We felt relaxed and could really enjoyed the trip without any worry about almost anything.

As said above, we loved our tour guide, Kevin. Flora, who helped in the planning was very helpful and prompt in replying. We loved Seoul!
