Start Your Korea Travel ProposalWhy Most Travellers Never Experience the Real Korea
Planning a trip to South Korea looks simple at first, until you realise the most beautiful parts of the country are hidden behind language barriers and limited English information.
This is why most travellers stay only in Seoul, Busan, and Jeju, and miss:
- Quiet countryside towns full of warmth and hospitality
- Authentic cultural experiences like Hanjeongsik royal dining
- Beautiful hanok villages and mountain temples
- Scenic self-drive routes and small-town local food
- Autumn foliage valleys and peaceful walking trails
The Korea you see online is convenient. The Korea we design for you is soulful, authentic, and deeply meaningful.

What Travellers Say About Their Korea Experience With Us
Two real reviews from clients who travelled to Korea with Epic Travel Designer, sharing what made the journey smooth, thoughtful, and memorable.
Jerlin Ng
★★★★★
Returning customer for the third time. First two were to Taiwan and this time in December was to Korea. My family of 10 was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional. Best has always provided good recommendations in the itinerary. With the criteria and requests given to her, such as touring with the young to the elderly, she would plan it accordingly. The contactless booking and payment process was smooth and hassle free. Every communication was via email or mobile contact, which made it so easy. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour truly unforgettable. The accommodations were top notch depending on the budget provided, and every detail, from transportation to meals, was taken care of. My family felt completely relaxed and confident throughout the journey. I highly recommend engaging their services if you would like someone to plan a hassle free tour for you.

Went on a tour with Epic Travel Designer recently and everything was smooth sailing. I appreciate Best’s timely response and help with my queries. There was a very smooth transition from one activity to another as it was well organised. Our driver was always punctual, polite, and helpful. Best took the time to understand my travel preferences and provided me with an itinerary that was in line with my objectives for the trip. She provided valuable recommendations for the activities too. I also appreciate the flexibility to make adjustments to the itinerary. Overall, it was an enjoyable and stress free travel experience. I feel confident in having Best plan subsequent trips for my family. Thank you for making our trip memorable.
