I am wondering roughly how many people per room typically with the multi share rooms?

Our tours are usually based on a twin-share arrangement, which means two people per room in most cases.

Do you offer essential korea tours for over 35?

Unfortunately, no. This tour is specifically designed for travelers aged 18-35.

Are there insurance options available for travelers?

It is advisable to have travel insurance, but options should be checked independently.

We are 66 years old, it says this tour is for 18-29 year olds. Our son is getting married in Korea on the 10th so the dates would match what we need, but don't know if we'd be welcome for tour

Unfortunately, our Essential South Korea trip is an age restricted trip for anyone 18 - 35. I'm not sure how long you were spending in South Korea after your son's wedding but we do have our South Korea Highlights trips that starts 13MAY2025.

How much deposit is required to secure a booking?

A deposit of 400 is required to confirm your booking after a complimentary hold period of 48 hours.

What is the accommodation setup for this tour?

Accommodation consists of a hostel (multi-share) for 7 nights and a Hanok for 1 night. Travelers on the same booking might be assigned to different rooms due to single-gender dormitories.

How do I receive my travel documents?

You don't need physical travel documents; it's recommended to save your booking confirmation to present on the first day.

Is there an option for a single room?

Unfortunately, we don't offer a single-room option for this trip.

is there a paid option for single supplement or similar accommodation options?

A single supplement is possible if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip and is subject to availability. We will have to check on this with our local operators and if it's not available we can refund you the payment for the Single supplement.

Are there any visa requirements for this tour?

Yes, it is essential to check the visa requirements based on your nationality and travel plans.

Everything about this trip was perfect. Sam, our guide, was always friendly and patient. He was able to help with every problem. He made a special effort to attend to each guest individually. This trip gave me a deeper understanding of South Korea’s history and society. Everything was perfectly planned, the hotels were well-chosen, and the rental bikes worked flawlessly. I enjoyed the trip to the fullest.Show more
