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?

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.

Can I just pick up the tour in Seoul?

Yes, you can join the tour directly in Seoul. The next available departure runs from 12 April 2026 to 20 April 2026.

I want to inform you on my arrival time in Seoul on June 1st. Please confirm that your representative will pick me up from the airport

Yes, a complimentary airport arrival transfer is included; valid if you are arriving on Day 1 or if you have booked pre-tour accommodation at the joining point hotel.

do I need to fill out a form and show a code to get in to the country like Japan or fill it out on the plane to a temper pass?

To create a hassle-free joining experience, you do not need a travel document to join the adventure. Your TourRadar confirmation notification is all that you need to present on Day 1 in case of a name discrepancy on the passenger list. Please ensure you have the appropriate visas required for your trip. Travel insurance is compulsory for all travelers.

Is the South Korea tour guaranteed to depart so we can book airfares?

The minimum number of travelers that we need to confirm a departure is just 1. You are good to book flights, this trip will be commencing as planned.

Can you tell me if any of your Korean tours are Small tour less than 20 people
