  • K

    Kristina

    Asked on January 12th, 2025

    Would like some clarification re end date please. Day 12 states 'flight to Seoul... South Korea trip complete'. But in 'Additional Services' mentions flight back to 'Seoul: one final night. One final meal together... BBQ'. The two seem to be contradictory. Could you please clarify?

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written January 2025

      On Day 11, one day before the end of the tour, we offer a optional experience - Taste Authentic Korean Black Pork BBQ experience on Jeju Island. The group will then return to Seoul on Day 12, completing the South Korea trip.

    • K

      Kristina

      Traveler•Written January 2025

      For the absolute avoidance of confusion, Day 12, in this case 18th March, we could take an international flight? May I ask what time you normally fly back from Jeju to Seoul, roughly, and which airport you fly into in Seoul, if known?

    • ContikiOperator•Written January 2025

      We expect to arrive back in Seoul approximately 12 PM on Day 12 (March 18). You can certainly book your return flight home for that same afternoon. The preferred departure airport in Seoul is Incheon International Airport (ICN).

    Dan

    Asked on December 15th, 2024

    Is that a firm age range, or can older individuals do this tour as well? My husband and I are taking our daughters on a South Korean trip as a college graduation trip. So the ages for everyone in our party will be 50, 45, 21, and 20.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written December 2024

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. Unfortunately, as your age does not meet this requirement, we are unable to proceed with your reservation for a Contiki tour.

    Christian

    Asked on July 6th, 2024

    We are looking for South Korea tours for April/May 2025. We would like to visit Seoul/Hongdae/Gangnam/Jeju. Are there any trips that provides flexible schedule where we can roam around by ourselves then join the group after? We are not interested in KPOP classes, Taekwondo or DMZ. We simply want to roam around and sightsee.

    Tour Details
