Our Unforgettable Family Holiday in South Korea!

Описание: Finally, our 1st family vacation abroad. So grateful for this opportunity to travel again overseas, especially now as a family. Me & my wife have been to several countries before the COVID-19 pandemic began. With this kiddo now who sure knows how to have fun & Mommy’s favorite K-drama, this gonna be an epic journey to the Land of the Morning Calm.

We’ve got to experience the charm of South Korea with the affordable all-in package tour that we availed from City Travel & Tours Corporation. This one-stop shop in Makati City (they also have branches in Angeles City, Pampanga & Bacoor, Cavite) takes care of all your travel needs from flights to hotel accommodation, & from tailor-made tour itineraries to visa processing & more. Let them handle the paperworks so that you can focus on creating memories, stress-free.

This tour package is a private tour with private guide, transportation & specific itinerary. The order of schedule or menu meals can be changed by the local situation with the permission of the guests. At the time, we were 3 weeks away from South Korean presidential elections that saw numerous political rallies in & around Seoul. Tour time can be changed depending on the local traffic situation, too.
