Can you explain how your 10 day tour only includes 8 days accommodation? I can see the last day is travel, can you tell me which of the other days are not included? We are thinking of travelling in October, can you confirm 4 is the minimum number for the tour to go ahead and if you already have bookings on any of the October dates?

Our Best of South Korea - 10 days tour includes 9 nights accommodation: 1 night simple hanok accommodation in Gyeongju and 8 nights in 4-5-star hotels. Best of South Korea - 10 days tour is the most popular tour we offer in this destination and most of departures are guaranteed. At this moment the departure on 8th and 15th has already 2 passengers booked so if you join any of them it will automatically be guaranteed.

Does this trip also include the Blueline skylark capsule in Busan? If not can we get to that and do it ourselves on the free afternoon? And should we book tickets in advance? Also, in Jeju island do we get to meet and watch the diver women? Is this part of the trip or do we need to organise ourselves.

The Songdo Marine Cable Car is included, however, the Blueline skylark capsule is not. You do have a full day in Busan and this capsule only takes 30 minutes for you would be able to do it on your own.

Can you cater for a gluten free diet? Soy sauce often contains wheat and I cannot have anything made with wheat flour but rice flour and chick pea flower etc is fine.

Yes, we can request gluten-free meals. We have many passengers with dietary requests, and there is no problem providing these options. Please let us know when would you like to travel so we can check availability for you.

Is the tour fully guided throughout?

This is a semi-independent tour, which means that whilst travelling between locations, a guide does not travel with them, however all of their arrangements are confirmed for them. Local English speaking licensed tour guides are then included for scheduled sightseeing.

Why do they describe 8 nights lodging when the trip is 10 days?

This tour is 10 days nine nights and does use three different types of accommodations throughout the tour as follows: -1 night simple hanok accommodation in Gyeongju - (traditional wooden house in Korea with unique cooling and heating system) -7 nights in 4-5-star hotels -1 night Golgulsa Temple stay
