Walk the eclectic neighborhoods, pop into the boutiques and shops, see the shrines, temples, and parks, and take Tokyo in at your own pace. Relax in Tokyo after a long flight, get a lay of the land, and then join your fellow travelers at the start of your tour.
Extend your tour with four nights in the incredible city of Seoul, South Korea. You’ll explore the city, stopping at must-see sights like Gyeonbok Palace for the changing of the guard, Seoul Observatory for incredible views of the city, and Namdeamun Market for tasty local foods. You’ll even delve into the conflict between North and South Korea when you travel to the Demilitarized Zone for an exclusive tour of this storied border, and even get to talk to a North Korean defector.
