S. Korea tour makes stops at drama sites

A few remaining seats are available for the inaugural Foodie Tour to South Korea, Oct. 28 to Nov. 4. The tour starts in Seoul and will travel down the peninsula on the west coast and return to the capital after stops in a few southern cities.

The tour includes several locations familiar to K-drama fans and does not skimp on food or hotels, so if you are a big drama fan and interested in Korean culture, this is the tour of the year. The price is $3,700, based on double occupancy. For information, e-mail me at the address below.
