    Tania

    Asked on April 30th, 2026

    I want to have an upgraded private room but it says single room is still shared. I don't understand. I want a private upgraded room for 1 person

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      If you opt for a private room upgrade in a single room, you will have your own private room at all locations excluding 1 night during the temple stay where you will stay in gender separated rooms of 2-5 beds.

      Tania

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      So are the upgrades in hostels or hotels? Cause I saw some locations the hotel upgrades are available on this tour

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      The 12-Day South Korea Adventure: From Seoul to Jeju Island trip uses hostels at all accommodation. If you'd prefer to stay in hotels, then you might be interested to join our 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure: Culture, Cuisine, and Coastlines. This trip uses comfortable hotel rooms as the standard accommodation and has the option to upgrade to a private room. If needed, we can add extra nights for before or after your trip so you can extend your stay.

    Colin

    Asked on April 21st, 2026

    Is that primarily due to the tae kwon do class? I am 68 so would probably just watch that anyway. I was wanting to see how appropriate this trip would be for me before we book it.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      The recommended age range is in place for the overall dynamic of the trip and because some days can be spent walking up to 15,000 steps per day. Also, the standard accommodation is in multi-bed dorm rooms in hostels with the option to upgrade to a private room at all locations excluding 1 night during the temple stay. If you're comfortable with the above described, we'd be more than happy to consider you for this trip. Alternatively, you might be interested to join our 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure: Culture, Cuisine, and Coastlines which is a similar trip. This trip can accommodate guests aged 18-75 and uses twin rooms in comfortable hotels. Or, our Korea Family Adventure: 9 Days of Unforgettable Memories. This trip is more targeted towards families with children, but we regularly have adult families join the trip too. We can accommodate guests aged 7-70 and again, use twin rooms in hotels. If you'd prefer not to participate in a particular activity, then that's absolutely fine.

    Nicola

    Asked on April 6th, 2026

    Do you have a tour like this guided tour but proper and not like this in temples and hiking. But separate or customized itinerary but I dont want fully solo. I want with few people in a group maybe.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      It's not compulsory for you to join all the activities. You don't have to join for anything you're not interested in doing. If you let me know in more detail the type of thing you're interested in, I can offer more advice. We can only customise an itinerary for a minimum group number of 4 people. The maximum group size for this trip is 20. I'd be happy to find a date for you that has less people booked on, but I can't guarantee the numbers will remain the same since there's always the possibility that more people will book onto the trip.

    Janet

    Asked on April 5th, 2026

    We are fit and healthy 65 y.o's who cycle and play golf all week are we welcome on this trip?

    Age Range
    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      While we appreciate you're fit and healthy, we wouldn't be able to accommodate you on this trip. Although we have the age range in place, the majority of guests are in their 20's, 30's and 40's and expect to join this trip with a younger age demographic. Alternatively, you might be interested to join our 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure: Culture, Cuisine, and Coastlines. This trip uses comfortable hotel rooms as the standard accommodation and can accommodate guests aged 18-75. If needed, we can add extra nights so you can extend your stay.

    Fiona

    Asked on February 2nd, 2026

    Can you tell me the age ranges of the people on the tour from march 15th-26th? I am 18 years old and traveling by myself. I am worried about being significantly younger than everyone else.

    Age Range
    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2026

      I'd be more than happy to outline the age ranges of that specific departure below:

      13 Passengers; One 19, Three in their 20's, One in their 30's, Three in their 40's, Four in their 50's, and One in their 60's.

      So there's a real good range of different ages on this specific departure, making for a very mixed and enjoyable trip.

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written December 2025

      While we appreciate you're interested in joining this trip, the recommended age range for this trip is 18-55. Although we have the age range in place, the majority of guests that join this trip are aged 18-40. Our guests book this trip with the expectation of joining a group with a younger demographic.

    Stephanie

    Asked on November 19th, 2025

    I might be going solo. Is it going to be more expensive for me? Is it possible to have my own room? Is the airline ticket included in the price? Do you do all women only tours?

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written November 2025

      These tours are designed to bring solo travellers together and give you a great travel experience! The standard accommodation is shared dorm rooms, however if you wanted to have your own private room, this is offered with a single supplement. The single room upgrade is priced at £580 GBP and upgrades you to a private room throughout the tour, apart from the 1 night in a Temple where all guests stay in rooms of 2-4 people of the same gender. No, this price does not include international airfare to/from South Korea. The trip price includes all accommodation and transport within the tour, guiding and some of the activities. A flight from Busan to Jeju Island is included. Currently we do not offer women only tours, but we do see that our trips attract more women than men. The split can be around 60-70% women in general.

    Asked on November 6th, 2025

    Is your age requirement firm? We are three ladies 60 years old.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written November 2025

      We can offer some flexibility on the age recommendation, with travellers joining the tour ages 18 to early 60s previously. However, it is important to note why the age recommendation is in place. This itinerary is quite active and fast-paced, with a lot of walking and travelling by public transport. Because of this, we have an age recommendation in place to make sure all travellers are comfortable and able to fully enjoy the experience. Of course, this isn't a strict rule and if you feel confident with the level of activity, you're very welcome to join us!

      Carol

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      We were hoping to do a combination Japan/South Korea trip in mid April 2026. The three of is are particularly fit for our age so walking at a good pace isn't an issue except for maybe wanting to stop and take pictures:). We might want a room upgrade unless I go by myself. In that case dorms are fine.
