    Greg

    Asked on May 10th, 2026

    When we meet at Gwanghwamun on the first day September 6 what time do we meet? I'm flying to Seoul from Canada. Do you recommend I arrive in Seoul the day before the tour starts and stay overnight in order to be able to meet in Gwanghwamun the first day? Will an English speaking guide be with us for the entire tour? On the last day will we be dropped off at Gwanghwamun to be able to make our way to the airport? We should book our onward flight after what time on the last day?

      I am a solo traveler. Will the tour be canceled if not enough other people sign up for the Sept 6 departure?
      Is the September 6 2026 departure guaranteed?

    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten May 2026

      Please arrive at Donghwa Duty Free Shop near Gwanghwamun by 8:00 AM. You must not be late.

      Yes, we recommend arriving in Seoul the day before the tour. This will allow you to check the meeting point in advance and plan how to get there.

      Yes, a professional English-speaking guide will accompany the group throughout the entire tour.

      On the last day, you will be dropped off at the original meeting point (Donghwa Duty Free Shop). Arrival time is usually around 3:00–4:00 PM, but depending on traffic it may be after 5:00 PM. Therefore, we recommend booking your return flight with plenty of buffer time (recommended departure: after 10:00 PM).

      Unfortunately, yes. If you are the only participant booked for your selected date, the tour will be canceled. Currently, you are the only guest booked for the September 6 departure to Jeju. If you prefer, you may wait for more participants, or consider the September 13 departure instead, where there are already other bookings

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      What is the minimum number of bookings needed for the tour to proceed?

      The itinerary states we visit many places. Does this mean we stop at each place? Are there walking tours in each place? How much time will we have in each place to explore?

    • US Travel KoreaOperatorWritten May 2026

      The minimum number of participants required for the tour to proceed is 2 people. Unless there are unavoidable local circumstances, we will visit most of the places listed in the itinerary. There will be walking tours at the destinations, and you will generally have about 1 hour of free time to explore each place.

      The hotel closest to our tour departure point is Koreana Hotel. It is very conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk from the pickup location.
