Our Journey so far
VIP Travel first opened its doors back in early 2010 when our CEO brought together an experienced team of industry professionals. Initially our idea was to cater solely for the business to business (B2B) market. Our goal was to provide those traveling for business with high quality customized tours and top notch customer service.
However, not long later we determined that the consumer market consisting of couples and families visiting Korea, were also seeking a higher level of service than what was currently available at the time. With most international visitors first experience of Korea being on a group tour, we felt something needed to change.
So, in January 2010 we decided to cater for both the business and consumer markets by offering high quality private tours and group tours at affordable prices. We wanted everyone visiting Korea to “collect beautiful moments” and get the VIP treatment that would have them singing praise back home about their wonderful time in Korea.
Once the challenger to the status quo, VIP Travel has grown to become one of the top 3 tour providers in Korea, offering local experiences to international visitors. And we don’t plan on standing still either!

Kelvin H – Customer
Very good tour of Seoul, thanks to our guide for being super flexible and accommodating the whole day!
Will – Customer
Our hotel concierge at The Plaza Seoul made arrangements for a private tour and we could not have been more pleased with our full day with the guide. We had a really nice van that took us to the area and picked us up when we were finished with the site. We got so much out of each attraction because we could pick our guide’s brain as we drove to the next site. Our tour guide had excellent English skills especially since she lived in New Zealand for three years. Our extraordinary guide was Sue.
Nanums – Customer
We stayed only 2 days so we wanted a tour that could show us the best of Seoul. Our guide, Hyeyoung is certainly the best guide we ever had! She is very knowledgeable, fluent in English and most importantly she is very friendly. She was very flexible and organized the tour to include what we wanted to see. Last but not least, she takes incredible pictures!

Don’t Miss Taking the DMZ half day tour & The Korean Folk Village Tour! My husband and I felt that if we had not taken these two trips we would have left Seoul without “knowing” anything about the country. The DMZ experience cannot be described with words–only experienced. The Folk Village Tour has two shows. While watching, I kept saying to myself, how can anyone possibly have these skills necessary to perform in these shows. Our tour guides, Sharon for the DMZ tour and Alice for the Korean Folk Village Tour were excellent. How fortunate we were to meet these two incredible women.
