The “Seoul” of Baseball
August 20 - 29, 2024
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.
We broke this tour into two segments, so providing you three options:
- The Full Tour: Attend seven KBO games at six different ballparks and stay in four of South Korea’s best cities.
- Segment 1: Keep your base in Seoul and attend four KBO games.
- Segment 2: Head south for three more KBO games, in Daegu, Busan, and Changwon. We’ll also spend a night in beautiful Gyeongju for sightseeing.

This tour can be done as a stand-alone tour or in conjunction with one or more segments of our annual Japan baseball tour.
