Festivals itineraries

Experience the very best of South Korea independently — from the neon-lit streets of Seoul to the coastal beauty of Busan — without the group tour price tag. This self-guided itinerary follows the same route as Intrepid Travel's Essential South Korea trip (Seoul → Jeonju → Wanju → Daegu → Busan → Seoul), swapping the group leader for your own sense of adventure. You'll stay in the same style of hostels and even a hanok (traditional Korean house), travel by Korea's excellent public transport network, and self-book the same iconic activities via GetYourGuide, Klook, or direct. South Korea is one of the easiest countries in Asia to navigate independently — the public transport is world-class, signage is bilingual, and the T-money card makes getting around effortless. Estimated costs are approximate and based on budget traveller rates as of 2024–2025.

~£475

Hit seven countries across Central Europe independently — from Berlin's underground clubs to Venice's romantic canals, via Krakow, Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Vienna, Budapest and Lake Bled. This self-guided version swaps the Intrepid group leader for your own research, replaces private transfers with trains and buses, and cuts the cost dramatically. You'll stay in a mix of budget hotels and hostels, eat like a local at milk bars and street food stalls, and book activities directly or via GetYourGuide. All the same magic, none of the group tour premium. Costs are approximate estimates per person based on budget traveller rates.
