    This was a great tour that covered a lot of amazing places, fun experiences and delicious food (sooo much food!) in a short amount of time. I was very lucky to be a part of an amazing group of people that clicked so well together from the start and this made the whole experience even better. Our guide Mr. Jay was very active and fun, but also very well organized. I appreciated that he was asking for the groups feedback after every activity. You could see that he really wanted to give us a great experience of his country.

    Having a Wellness Holiday with Jay from Hana Tour was an incredible experience. Jay impressed us with his professionalism, selflessness, and genuine interest in making this trip unforgettable. It was not only throughout the tour, but Jay’s deep knowledge of the history, culture, and traditions of Eastern Korea made every tour uniquely enjoyable. Exciting stories and background behind every stop and experience made the tour even more unique. For sure, the diversity of food was the most remarkable event of the tour. From the diversity of dishes and its flavor to the unique atmosphere in every cafe and restaurant we visited – Jay’s advice and ultimately experience helped us keep a pleasant aftertaste for a long time.

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      Can you pick me up at my hotel in Gangnam district?

    • HanaTour ITCOperatorWritten November 2025

      It's possible to use a paid pickup service. However, since all participants will meet and depart from Seoul Amid Hotel by 8 a.m., you'll need to arrive there before that time to depart together. Picking up participants and then heading to Gangnam for another pickup is not possible, as it doesn't fit the route.

    Transport
    • HanaTour ITCOperatorWritten August 2025

      During peak season, traveling to Gangwon-do, especially Sokcho, can be very crowded. If you choose to use a Private Car Charter service, the cost will be approximately USD 350–400 one way. However, if I may personally suggest, the more convenient and economical option would be to take an express bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal (Gangnam) to Sokcho Express Bus Terminal, and then use either a local bus or taxi to continue your journey. Seoul Express Bus Terminal (Gangnam) → Sokcho Express Bus Terminal: approx. USD 12–20 one way. Sokcho Express Bus Terminal → Seoraksan Cable Car (Seoraksan National Park): approx. USD 15–30 one way by taxi.

    We are traveling on the Korea 4 day tour and the information in the itinerary mentioned if there are ten or more, we will depart from a specific hotel via van.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • HanaTour ITCOperatorWritten March 2025

      The departure location from Hotel Amid applies only if there are 10 or more participants specifically for the Eastern 4-Day Tour. Some travelers are on a longer or earlier itinerary. If the number of participants does not reach 10, we will provide KTX train tickets for travelers to join the group in Busan instead. You do not need to book or stay at Hotel Amid, as it simply serves as a designated meeting point if required.
