Overview

An authentic taste of South Korea, exploring on excellent cycle ways. This tour has been designed to provide a taste of the real South Korea as we complete a series of quite leisurely rides along the country’s world-class cycling paths to discover both the old and the new. Starting in Seoul, we hit the ground running with a ramble through its historic core before spending five days cycling beside wide rivers that meander through rolling hills, fertile farmland and thriving towns. Before returning to Seoul, we have 2 nights in Andong and a day off the bikes as we explore nearby Hahoe Folk Village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back 600 years.
