South Korea Tours

The “Seoul” of Baseball

September 6-11, 2023

Japan gets most of the attention when it comes to Asian baseball, but the Koreans do their best to be noticed. Players play with emotion and flare (bat flips galore!), feeding off their frenzied fans. And they have talent too, with one of the world’s best national teams and a steady stream of MLB-caliber players.

The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) remains of of international baseball’s best-kept secrets. Come see for yourself while experiencing a world-class city that is rich in culture and history.

On this tour, we’ll keep our base in Seoul, permitting plenty of time for sightseeing, and attend games at three ballparks in the greater Seoul metropolitan area.

This tour can be done as a stand-alone tour or in conjunction with one or more segments of our annual Japan baseball tour. To better visualize the tour dates, click here to download a calendar version of our Japan and Korea schedules.

It is likely that South Korea will impose Covid-related travel regulations and requirements on visitors. Visit the website of the US Embassy in South Korea for current information.

The trip to Japan far exceeded my expectations. Your efforts to plan and execute the logistics of everything we did was flawless. Where do I begin to thank you? I feel as though you gave me a gift. You opened a door and helped me experience a place and people in a way that I might not otherwise had the opportunity to do without you.

Nancy

Southampton, MA

Great time. I met terrific people as both tour guests and the Japanese we met along the way. And the baseball was a hoot.

Can’t thank you enough for a great trip. What you do is truly remarkable. I had a blast. Spent my extra days after the trip walking about Tokyo and really seeing a lot since by doing the tour with you first I learned how to get around. It’s a trip I’ll never forget.

Dennis

Lexington, VA

It is already a month since the trip and am still sky high. Thanks for the great trip!

Chris

Pleasanton, CA

We knew the trip would be interesting, but we NEVER expected to meet such a terrific group of people from all parts of the country. Yes, it was a tour group. However, your low-key and relaxed approach to travel and accommodations made the experience so much more personal to each one of us.

Just a note to let you know that we made it home in one piece. Well, actually, more than one piece since we both took a large bit of Japan home with us in our hearts.

I live in Japan. I loved the trip. It was fabulous. You took all the hassle and stress out of doing such a thing. Even after living here for a number of years, this sort of tour is not something I’d do on my own. Many thanks.

Ken

Fussa City, West Tokyo

The baseball…the unique culture…Hiroshima…the good group of fellow travelers. You were right, your tour attracts nice people. Great trip! I really enjoyed it.

Vinny

Boston, MA

We had thought of it as a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but now we want to go back and do it again. Maybe one of these years. Thanks for a fabulous tour!

Loreen and Bryan

Your idea to combine baseball and travel in Japan is more than just a tourist adventure. You provide travelers an insight that they simply couldn’t otherwise get without your expertise and enthusiasm.
