    Kyle

    Asked on March 4th, 2026

    I am thinking of exploring Sth Korea in 2076. I am 79 yrs old with some limited mobility and breathing issues. I was hoping to combine the 9 day premium Sth Korea tour with the 11 day World Korean Heritage tour using the time on Jeju island as the connection point. Is this possible?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Intrepid PremiumOperatorWritten March 2026

      It appears combinable using Jeju Island as a connection point. You would finish the Premium South Korea tour on Jeju and then connect to the starting point of the World Korean Heritage tour from there. Most days on both tours include walking and some stairs or uneven surfaces. Your tour leader can provide guidance on which sections may be easier or where you can opt out if needed. You will need to arrange your own travel between the two tours on Jeju. Our trip can accommodate a slightly slower pace, but due to the group schedule, some walking and sightseeing will still be required.
