What time does the tour start? I ask as I will be flying from Australia.

Are you able to provide gluten free food for someone with coeliac disease. Gluten being wheat, rye, oats and barley. I have travelled all over Asia and had no issues but also bring my own soya sauce.

looking for a group package of school students on twin sharing with halal food

unfortunately, it is not possible to create a customized trip within this time frame

i am looking for a tour in South Korea as a solo traveler. I was wondering about the age groups. I am 39 years old, saw the trails of korea tour. What are the ages of most of the participants normally in your tours?

We get participants from the age of 20 - 55 approximately, with the majority around your age or a little bit younger (late twenties). Of course, every trip is different, so if you let me know what date you are planning to join, I can check what age groups we already have booked on our various tours.

What is the meeting place for this tour?

Normally the meeting point is at The lobby of Amid Hotel

do you have dates for 2025 yet? We are looking at a tour in May 2025.

This tour departs each Saturday. We can respect this year price if you book it this year.

I need some clarity on the tour South Korea Highlights 7D/6N. What accommodation for Day 1? Where are people dropped off on Day 7? Can Bamba pick me up from the Presidente Hotel near City Hall?

On Day 1, the accommodation is from Seoul. This accommodation is not included, you will have to book this on your own. We will provide the accommodation at Gongju later that day. On Day 7 you will be drop-off at Seoul City center. Accommodation in Seoul needs to be city Center. These are 2 options: Amid Hotel or Hotel PJ. Presidente Hotel is also ok! We can arrange to Drop you off at Presidente hotel on Day 7.

I want to stay at the Koreana Hotel, which is close to the City Hall. Can you get a better rate per night than I can? If so, do you make reservations for the traveler? What price do you get for a twin basic room no breakfast? I plan to come a few days early to take day trips--1, DMZ and 2. Gyeongbokgung Palace. Do you have any recommendations, or are all the tour operators about equal? I will need transportation from and to the airport, do you make reservations for such? What is the cost for both trips?

Sure, we will work on your request as soon as possible.

Do they return us to our hotels? Do you recommend a hotel and make reservations as an 'additiona'l before and/or after the tour? Do you arrange for airport pickup and drop off? If so what is the cost round trip?

The meeting point for the tour is at the Amit Hotel, you can book something close to this. The drop off would be at the meeting point also. We do offer airport transfer at an extra cost, we will need flight information and accommodation to check the price.

Is it possible to bring a medium size suitcase on the bus?

Will we be dropped off back in Seoul at the end of the tour?

The tour does not include flights? Do I need to arrive on the day before the tour starts and depart on the day the tour ends? That would add 2 nights at the hotel. Is that right? What is the recommended arrangement?

No, the tour doesn't include flights. Yes, it is better if you arrive one day earlier, as the tour departs to Andong in the morning, and one the last day you will arrive in Seoul after 18 hrs, so yes you will need to arrange 1 pre night and 1 post night.

Tour guide Mark and driver Mr. Kim were outstanding. Hotels were great. Meals with one or two exceptions were good. The exceptions were pretty bad. My major complaint and the reason for the okay rating was they substituted this tour for another similar tour dropping at least one location for an overnight visit and adding an additional night in Busan and a number of additional sites in Busan that were not interesting. A number of other changes in itinerary. No explanation was provided, they just changed the tour under this heading. Even the web site shows the original map with stops, the new changed itinerary is now in the details. Bamba tours was advertised as tour operator but run by Hana tour. Somewhere in the boiler plate it says they can change anything for any reason. One final point, a lot of walking on this tour. The tour guide tried very hard to stop and allow us to catch up but limited us on the tour. If you can’t walk distance or walk slow, not a great tour.Show more

How wonderful it was. Everything to the last detail. Every day a different hotel but hotels where you have everything , good beds fine showers and some with bath. Beautiful views. shampoo conditioner soap is there too. Breakfast lunch and dinners included , plenty of choice. Drinks also well provided. Our tour leader Mark is a great person. Tells great stories. Speaks reasonably good English. Because everything is planned there is little time in between but in the end that is what a tour is for and understandable because you go through all of Korea. The spa day was not appropriate, or you ran out of time for the relaxation moment where you had 2 hours or instead of shopping has no more value for me because this is a very expensive mall. The bus we rode in was very comfortable (Cool and provided with water which was made sure there was enough every day) and the bus driver makes sure you are transported safely. He also stopped occasionally for a pee moment or to grab another refreshment or coffee. The only thing I recommend is to be there at least 2 days before the tour starts, due to time difference. But also the time after. Then you can still enjoy your own moment and you can also see Seoul. At your own pace. Further is that I enjoyed a beautiful South Korea. And made a beautiful memory together with my daughter.Show more
