Salty Tour (Hangul: 짠내투어) is a South Korean television program. It airs on tvN on every Saturday at 22:30 (KST) beginning November 25, 2017.

On December 30, 2017 Yeo Hoe-hyun has withdrawn from the show.

On April 3, 2018 it was announced that Kim Saeng-min has stepped down from the show following his recent apology for a past sexual harassment incident.[1]

On May 23, 2018 it was confirmed that Moon Se-yoon and Heo Kyung-hwan will join the show's permanent cast, with the former joining from the Los Angeles tour on May 26 and the latter to join from the San Francisco tour.[2]

Program

For every city/country, 3 (or 2) of the cast members are assigned as 1-day tour guides and are given the same budget per person. With a fixed price limit, the tour guides have to attempt to provide a best vacation experience. The winning tour guide can get to enjoy a Small Luxury. The judging of the tours will be done by the remaining cast members and invited guests, in terms of food, places of interest and accommodation.
