    This is a shared group tour, rather than a private tour for your party of three. Group sizes generally range from 10 to 20 participants. An English-speaking guide accompanies the group during the sightseeing tours. Airport transfers to and from Incheon International Airport are included. On arrival, a representative will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel in Seoul. For the return journey, a representative will pick you up from your hotel approximately four hours before your scheduled flight. The tour is an active itinerary covering several destinations across South Korea, with a combination of sightseeing and driving between cities. The tour has a moderate walking requirement, with approximately 3–5 km of walking per day on average, depending on the day's activities. Day 2 – Seoul: Full-day sightseeing including Jogyesa Temple, Gyeongbokgung Palace, the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, National Folk Museum, Korean Ginseng Center or Amethyst Shop, and Korean Folk Village. The drive to the Korean Folk Village is approximately 1.5 hours each way. Day 3 – Seoul to Jeonju: Visit Gongju, including the Tomb of King Muryeong and Gongsanseong Fortress, followed by Jeonju Hanok Village. Day 4 – Jeonju to Yeosu: Visits to the May 18th National Cemetery in Gwangju, Suncheon Bay National Garden and Yi Sun-shin Plaza in Yeosu. Day 5 – Yeosu to Gyeongju: Visit Jinjuseong Fortress, followed by Busan sightseeing including Jagalchi Market, BIFF Square, Haeundae Beach and Dongbaek Park. Day 6 – Gyeongju to Pyeongchang: Visit Seokguram Grotto, Bulguksa Temple and Andong Hahoe Village. There are approximately 2.5 hours of driving between Gyeongju and Andong, followed by another approximately 2.5 hours to Pyeongchang. Day 7 – Pyeongchang to Seoul: Visit the 2018 Winter Olympic venues, Gangneung Hangho Beach/BTS Bus Stop (if time permits), and Seoraksan National Park. The cable car to Gwongeumseong Fortress is optional at USD 20 per person. You will have time to walk around the National Park and the different cultural sites, although the itinerary does not specify an exact amount of time at each attraction. The guide will coordinate the sightseeing schedule according to the day's itinerary and local conditions. For lunches and dinners, these are not included in the package. The guide can assist the group with recommendations for local restaurants and dining options during the tour. Regarding accommodation for your party of three, we can arrange one double room for the couple and one single room for the third traveller.

    The tour is too rushed. Too early starts, 7.30am is not a holiday, that is breakfast time. The tour also seems to miss a lot, for instance Busan is just a time waster as you use it to pick up new travellers and not visit Busan. I would need more time in such places including more activities. Others, like a Bus stop that is a cover on a music album is not intetesting to me and seems a waste of time, unless there is a scenic view or something not mentioned in the itinetary.

    The tour starts on December 18th, so the night of December 17th is not included in the trip. You would need to arrange accommodation for that night separately.

  Asked on October 22nd, 2025

  Can you explain a little more about your partially guided programs. It appears it is a group program so is the guiding only provided in each city? Does the group move from city to city together (but unaccompanied)?

    I notice you provide airport/hotel transfers. If we arrive prior to the start or depart after the conclusion, will we still receive the transfers as included?
  • 

    Bamba TravelOperator•Written October 2025

    It is a tour group, and the transfer is exclusively for the group, and the tour leader is with the group, except for the free time. The itineraries are designed so each passenger can have a reasonable amount of time to spend in each location.
  • 

    Bamba TravelOperator•Written October 2025

    The transport depends on the size of the group for those dates; it could be a coach or a van.

    Bamba TravelOperator•Written October 2025

    The pickups and drop-offs are at the airport, but I can ask how much it will be for picking up from the hotel.

    The tour ends on October 17, but it arrives in Seoul on October 16th. We'd like to fly to Tokyo on the 16th. Would this be possible? Can we be transferred to the airport that evening?
  • 

    Bamba TravelOperator•Written June 2025

    You usually arrive in Seoul on Thursdays (Day 7) between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, but the actual arrival time can vary significantly depending on traffic. To comfortably check in for your flight, it's best to arrive at least 4 hours in advance. So ideally, your flight should depart after 10:00 PM. We apologize, but as this is a package deal, the price remains the same even if you choose to skip one night of accommodation.
