From people who did the Spring tour
Based on 4 reviews
"The Mallo tour with Min and Beom, was an unforgettable experience as it was my first trio to Korea! We explored so many places that I never would have discovered on my own, from Busan’s lively coastal energy to Gyeongju’s peaceful, history-filled atmosphere. The highlight in Busan was definitely the Jagalchi Fish Market, and the night drone show at the beach. In Gyeongju, seeing Donggung Palace illuminated at night was absolutely magical. So was the BBQ that we made together after shopping for ingredients. I loved that Min & Beom also made us play games that were really fun!"

"The Mallo Tour is more than the sum of its parts. It is an invitation to see Korea as a local does, guided by the kindest teachers I have ever met. They provide the best of the area and of themselves. All you have to do is show up and have fun."

"Fun, laughs, good times! So much was packed into one short week. Led by our charming tuneful tutors, we journeyed through ancient times, fish markets, book alley, UNESCO heritage sites and Korean games. Every day brought delicious food and great company"

Questions we always get
If you don't see your question here, we're always happy to answer directly.
Ask us something else →The tour begins at a meet-up point in Seoul, at around 10AM. We'll drop you off at your hotels at the end of the tour from 6-9PM.
The tour involves a moderate amount of walking (sometimes uphill) with regular breaks. It’s suitable for most people with a basic level of fitness.
Not at all. Every Mallo tour is designed for people with zero Korean experience. The daily language sessions teach you what you actually need — how to order food, ask for directions, and say something that makes a local laugh. By the end of the week, you'll be surprised how much you've picked up just by using it.
We do our best to accommodate common dietary needs, but please inform us in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Absolutely. Many of our guests join solo, and it’s a great way to meet new people in a relaxed setting.
We recommend booking early, as spots are limited and tend to fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons.
Yes - we have night-outs as a part of our itinerary, and our participants love to "sneak out" at night and enjoy drinks with each other. But rest assured - we ensure that non-drinkers have a good time as well.
