I have no words to describe such a beautiful experience, traveling with my mother and being able to enjoy together, the support of the whole group and team members towards my mother regardless of the language barrier, the simple fact seeing them trying to communicate with her in Spanish was invaluable. The Noona’s Noonchi team are simply amazing, from the very first day they give you the warmest welcome. Witnessing belongingness and mindfulness with Noona’s Noonchi was actually the best episode I have experience in a long time and I’m really grateful for it.

After seeing lots of posts and stories about Noona’s Noonchi’s tour groups from 2023 and early 2024, I already knew it was going to be a fabulous experience and I certainly had high expectations. Not only did my tour (October T2) meet my expectations, it far exceeded them! Everything about the tour was flawless from the hotels we stayed in, the bus we rode in, the meals we ate and the places we visited – all outstanding! But what made this experience even more special was the people. The people who organized and ran the tour so incredibly seamlessly! Our brilliant, funny tour guide, Sophy. Our patient and so well-organized tour manager, James. Our thoughtful and very careful bus driver, Mr. Oh. And of course, our outstanding hosts, Jeanie and Jonathan, who went above and beyond to ensure that we all had the very best experience possible on the tour. Jeanie brought Korean dramas to life for us every single day, and shared her insight and expertise about Korean dramas and how they can impact mental health. Watching Korean dramas sparked my interest in Korea – the culture, the history, the language and the food, so I was very excited for this trip. The trip not only delivered on all of those components (and more!) but it also introduced me to other like-minded people who I now consider friends for life. Thank you so much to everyone who helps to make Noona’s Noonchi the great success it is. I will never forget this trip!

As a two time tour participant I can honestly say that the Noonasnoonchi formula combining the culture and history of Korea through lens of kdrama, kpop and mental health is utterly unique and is going from strength to strength as Jeanie and her team explore and expand on tour ideas and locations with each successive group. There are no shortcuts with the planning, every detail is thought out and the tours evolve as new dramas are released to showcase recent locations as well as classic ones. The bonding between the participants in each group is unlike anything I have experienced and it is almost instantaneous as there is a lot of emphasis on connecting people before we even land in Seoul. Its a true soul searching and soul awakening experience on every level.

This tour was an amazing way to experience Korea and connect with like minded individuals from all over the globe. Anyone interested in Kdramas will find this a spectacular way to see filming sites and have a great time too. The most unexpected and valuable parts of the tour were the friendships formed and the connections created.

So much more than just a k-drama tour! What an all-encompassing dream trip with everything I wanted to see and do, plus extra surprises all along the way. Jeanie and her team have created a spirit of excellence in every detail…. from the transportation, hotel accommodations, food/restaurant variety, kdrama and historical sites, and shopping. She has gathered the very best team of people who individually and collectively add to the wonderful experience. It far exceeded my expectations and lived up to my #1 bucket list trip! So book the tour, buy the ticket, get on the airplane, meet strangers who become your friends, and enjoy beautiful Korea! You won’t regret it!

I’m a K drama and K pop fan that has wanted to visit South Korea since 2019 but didn’t have anyone to go with. When I saw Jeanie’s tour on TikTok, my heart jumped because it was EXACTLY how I wanted to travel to Asia alone – in a group with people who that similar interests visiting places that I wanted to see. I was very nervous to go alone but as soon as I walked in to the orientation and met Johathan, Jenny and Jeanie, I instantly felt safe. Everything went smoothly and was extremely well organized. Everyday was jam packed with activities. As a slightly picky eater, I was able to find something I could eat and enjoy at every meal. I don’t have a huge community at home but on this trip, I found a community that I hope will be in my life for a long time. If you’re wondering whether to take a chance and book this tour, especially if you’re going alone, take it from someone that took the leap – it’s worth it.
