      I definitely want to visit Jeju Island and am considering adding 3–4 days independently before or after the tour. Does your itinerary make this easy, and would there be any issue with arranging my own onward travel?

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written August 2026

      All of our Golden Route departures scheduled for October currently have more than 20 participants. Therefore, please note that while the atmosphere of the tour is friendly and sociable, it would not be considered a very small-group tour.

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written August 2026

      The average age of our K-Shuttle participants is approximately 48 years old. We generally have a good mix of ages, including many travellers in their 40s, 50s and above, as well as younger travellers. We also regularly welcome solo travellers.

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written August 2026

      As a solo traveller, you would need to book a single room and pay the applicable single supplement. You would have your own private hotel room and bathroom.

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written August 2026

      The hotels currently planned for the Golden Route include: Seoul: Swiss Grand Hotel Seoul, Gyeongju: Commodore Hotel Gyeongju or The-K Hotel Gyeongju, Busan: The tour visits Busan as part of the itinerary, but there is no overnight stay in Busan.

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written August 2026

      The program is designed to allow participants to enjoy their evenings independently. After the day's scheduled program is completed, you are free to go out for dinner, explore the surrounding area, enjoy nightlife, or spend the evening however you prefer.

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written August 2026

      The atmosphere of the tour is quite flexible and relaxed. We travel between destinations together by tour coach, but once we arrive at each attraction, you have some freedom in how you experience it. You can stay with the guide, listen to the explanations and explore the attraction together, or you can walk around and explore independently before meeting the group again at the designated meeting time.

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written August 2026

      It is absolutely possible to add a private trip to Jeju before or after the Golden Route. You can arrange your own flights and accommodation and continue travelling independently without any problem.

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

    Tour Details
    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written 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.

    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 KoreaOperator•Written 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.

    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 KoreaOperator•Written 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.

    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 KoreaOperator•Written 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 KoreaOperator•Written 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.

    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.

    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written 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.

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

    Tour Details
    • US Travel KoreaOperator•Written 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.

      The airport pick-up and drop-off will be handled by a driver we have arranged, who will come with a vehicle. Starting from Saturday, the hotel guide will come to pick you up with a vehicle before the tour begins.
