A friendly guide team travels with you, plus a dedicated support vehicle for luggage transfers, snack stops, rest breaks, and on-road help.

Between the pedal strokes, discover Korea: quiet countryside roads, river scenery, tunnels, markets, temples, and hands-on moments like a mushroom farm lunch and traditional paper-making. Enjoy classic Korean meals daily, relax in a hot spring town, and finish at Busan's Gwangalli Beach. Bullet train back to Seoul is included.
