    Asked on May 8th, 2026

    We are a family of 3, 18 + and 1, 13+ and are interested in this tour. Only 3 people ( 2, adults and 1 kid) need to see Seoul, But 1 adult is already in Seoul in college and will mostly join us from 23rd June, once her college is done and continue onto Tokyo. Are you able to accommodate her and if so would there be any difference in her price?

      1. We are coming into Seoul at 4 AM. When is the earliest, we can check-in into our hotel?

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written September 2025

      We include as an option a shared transfer, however, if you'd like a private tour it can also be arranged. No, breakfasts are not recommended since some tours start early in the morning. Unfortunately, no group sale for 4 adults. Yes, there are trains included to go from city to city, as per the itinerary. No, the flight from Japan to Seoul is not included.

    Asked on September 17th, 2024

    Would like to ask if there is a breakfast included for each hotel?

    Accommodation
    Meals
    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written September 2024

      We can add breakfast for an additional fee, it's not a problem. However, please note that we do not recommend it since some tours start before the breakfast starts in the hotels so you would be paying for a service you won't receive some days. I would suggest to ask in the hotel the day before, after you know that the starting time of the tour will allow you to enjoy breakfast in the hotel.
