    Lesley

    Asked on May 3rd, 2026

    Are your hotels walking distance to downtown areas for restaurants and stores. I have used Tourradar and hotels are outside in remote areas.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten May 2026

      The KS702 tour follows a circular route and includes overnight stays in several different cities. Among them, only the hotel in Jeonju is conveniently located within walking distance of a downtown area with a variety of restaurants and shops.

      For the other cities, hotels are generally not situated in central downtown areas. Guests typically use taxis to access nearby dining or shopping areas, or choose from a limited number of restaurants available within or close to the hotel.

  • M

    Martin

    Asked on May 2nd, 2026

    I would like to know if there are additional options for day tours or half day tours the changeokgung Palace complex, the Baekje historic areas, any of the dolmen sites, jongmyo shrine, namhansanseong, the royal tombs of the joseon dynasty, and any of the Sansa mountain monastaries. Also, are there 1 or 2 day trips to Jeju Island? Additionally, if you could confirm if any of these are already on the trip and I just missed them, that would be very helpful.

    Tour Details
    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten May 2026

      We kindly ask for your understanding that there are no separate one-day tour options available for the sites you mentioned. For tours that include Jeju Island, please refer to Best of Korea with Seoul or Perfection of Korea, as both itineraries include Jeju. While they are not exactly the same as the sites mentioned above, your selected tour does include attractions such as Gyeongbokgung Palace, the Tomb of King Muryeong, and Gongsanseong Fortress, which offer a similar experience.

  • B

    Brittany

    Asked on February 13th, 2026

    Will there be any other costs (eg entrance fees ) for this tour.

    Price / Availability
    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten February 2026

      Our tour package includes airport pick-up and drop-off, hotel accommodation, hotel breakfast, entrance fees, transportation for the tour, and a guide.
      Items not included are all meals except breakfast, entrance fees for attractions not listed in the tour program, and any other expenses not mentioned above, which must be paid separately.

  • J

    Judy

    Asked on February 12th, 2026

    When I see what is included, I can't see the transports between the cities. The bus to do the whole travel is included?

    Transport
    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten February 2026

      Our tour is normally conducted by large bus. However, the vehicle type may vary depending on the number of guests. As of now, there are 28 guests booked for April 10, so a bus will be arranged.

  • J

    Jane

    Asked on December 30th, 2025

    I am unable to make payment. Tried many times. All my cards are not getting accepted despite having done many bookings using this card. Please help

    Payments
    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten December 2025

      If your card is being declined, it might be due to your bank's proactive fraud protection, as our payments are processed globally. We encourage you to call the number on the back of your credit card to resolve this issue before attempting to process the payment again.

      If you need further assistance, feel free to give us a call. Our team is available 24/7 to help you.

    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten January 2026

      As the payment is processed internationally, it may have been automatically declined by your bank's security system.
      In many cases, contacting your card issuer to authorize the transaction resolves the issue quickly.
      If the problem persists, we recommend trying a different card or an alternative payment method.

    Louise

    Asked on November 29th, 2025

    We are interested in the tour starting Jan 2nd. We have 2 questions - as there are 3 people, any discount for 3 people joining tour? We are arriving 1st January and staying at a hotel somewhere in Seoul. Is there any way tour can pick us up from our hotel to new hotel on 2nd Jan.

    Price / Availability
    Transport
    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten December 2025

      Unfortunately, we do not offer a separate discount for a group of three. Regarding your second question, we do not provide a pickup service. You will need to make your own way to the hotel we have arranged (Swiss Grand Hotel) on Friday.

    Elaine

    Asked on November 1st, 2025

    can you tell me if the 2nd of October 2026 tour date is 100% going?

    Tour Details
    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten November 2025

      The October 2nd, 2026 tour isn't confirmed yet, but since October is our peak season, it's very likely that the tour will go ahead — I'd say about 90% chance.

      Elaine

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      can you give me a rough idea when it will be confirmed because I cannot book it unless it is 100% guarantee it is going ahead?

    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten November 2025

      Roughly speaking, it looks like it will be confirmed by May next year. If the October 2nd booking comes in by then, we'll let you know.
