  • D

    Douglas

    Asked on April 29th, 2026

    The concert is June 12. & 13 in Busan so that will not work. We'd like to spend several days around the concert date in Busan as well.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2026

      We only spend 1 night in Busan on our Best of South Korea tour. Unfortunately we don't have another tour option that will begin/end in Busan for you to spend more time there. We would recommend you booking a tour before or after the concert as there wouldn't be enough time on tour to remain in Busan. This tour date also only have 1 space left now.

    Asked on October 9th, 2025

    when we leave on tour from hotel next to the other destinations who takes our luggage especially on bullet trains etc

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025

      We suggest that you pack as lightly as possible as you are expected to carry your own luggage. Our trips in South Korea use some public transport and most will have limited luggage storage space. You will also be walking with your luggage in busy public train stations to catch connecting trains, so it is highly recommended that you travel light and have easy to handle luggage and capable of walking up and down the stairs with your luggage without any assistance. A large bag will be an inconvenience to you and will slow you down.

    Am I correct that we need to schedule our own flights or will G Adventures assist us? Also, does G Adventures offer travel insurance for its customers?
