The “Seoul” of Baseball
Korea is finally getting noticed on the global baseball scene! MLB opened the 2024 season in front of loud, enthusiastic Korean crowds, a few months after superstar outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (nicknamed “Grandson of the Wind”) signed the largest contract ever for an Asian hitter.
Korean players play with emotion and flare (bat flips galore!), feeding off their passionate fans. And they have talent too, with one of the world’s best national teams and a steady stream of MLB-caliber players.
With its high-quality play and frenzied fans, the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) remains one 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 are thrilled to again partner with South Korea’s premier baseball tour provider, Diego Baseball, to offer our community a once-in-a-lifetime KBO tour. We divided this tour into two segments, offering you three options:
- The Full Tour: Attend nine KBO games at all nine KBO ballparks and stay in six of South Korea’s best cities.
- Segment 1: See five KBO games in ballparks across Incheon, Gwangju, Daegu, Changwon, & Busan.
- Segment 2: Based primarily in Busan & Seoul, attend five KBO games in five ballparks.
This tour can be done as a stand-alone tour or in conjunction with one or more segments of our annual Japan baseball tour.
This tour may be very physically demanding for some guests. Due to our use of public transportation and the “walkability” of South Korea cities and tourist sites, many guests average about 10,000 steps per day on their step trackers. We will change hotels several times via long and/or early-morning train or bus rides. All guests must be able to carry/roll their own luggage during train transfers for about 1/3 mile (including up and down flights of stairs), and also lift their bags to the overhead space on trains. If you expect to have any difficulties, we recommend that you consider the Tokyo NPB Tour.

We love international baseball, but some of the gems of the global circuit are right in our backyard. Baseball is “America’s Favorite Pastime,” after all!
