What is the best way to take a train to Busan Station to meet the group at 1:00 PM? Should I purchase the train ticket after I arrive in Korea? Also, what time do trains typically depart from Seoul to Busan?

For traveling from Seoul to Busan to meet your group at 1:00 PM, the most convenient option is the KTX (Korea Train Express), which is the high-speed train. The KTX takes about 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes from Seoul Station to Busan Station, depending on the specific train. To arrive by 1:00 PM, you should aim for a train that departs around 10:00–10:30 AM. This allows for a little buffer in case of delays. You can purchase KTX tickets online in advance (highly recommended during busy travel periods) via Korail's official website or through apps. Tickets can also be bought at the station after you arrive in Korea, but seats may be limited during peak hours. Trains from Seoul to Busan run very frequently, roughly every 10–30 minutes during the day, so you will have multiple options. If you want a stress-free arrival and guaranteed seats for your group meetup, I recommend booking in advance online.

Could you please confirm if you have availability for 2 travellers?

Any luck determining availability for this tour?

Do you consider this tour to be of light activity, medium of more. The last tour I took with bamba was a little difficult since there was a lot of climbing and no railings for balance. In addition, the tour was very rushed. I would also need to know who the guide will be since there is one, in particular, that I do not care to have. In addition, I would like a single room and would like to know what the extra fee would be. I would like to take the tour sometime in mid to late October 2023

I am a little confused about one of the reviews. They are referring to a 10 day adventure. This particular tour is a 3 day adventure?? In addition, it is mentioned by Bamba that the travelers will be picked up near Busan Station. If we are staying at a hotel in Busan, won't we be picked up there?

can you do an FIT tour with just City tour of Seoul with lunch and a visit to Jeju island on one of the days? which also includes R/t airport transfer from Inchon airport.

Yes, please the package must include R.t airport transfer, accommodations for 3nights city tour with lunch a visit to Jeju island thru Ferry or flight . .if you can, please quote both with or without an overnight at Jeju island

What are the names of the hotels? Is it private tour or group tour?

This is a SHARED tour. Hotel options are GYEONGJU CORMODO or similar, and Wonju Interburgo Hotel or similar.

- Bamba TravelOperator•Written April 2023
  Please note that our team let us know that, they don't recommend taking a ferry to Jeju. If the ferry is much cheaper than the plane, I would recommend it, but the fare is similar, and the ferry is inconvenient because it is not a cruise. So we recommended doing this by flight. The price for this is in 3-star hotel (Hotel Skypark Jeju 1 or similar) is 1,165 USD per person (based on a double room occupancy). Domestic air US$290 per person (Seoul/Jeju/Seoul)
