What people love about South Korea Tours in March
- Korea Express
All arrangements were well accommodated, some hotel could have been better choice such IBis Budget Busan hotel. I would personally picked the better hotel there. Our tour guide was very nice person but he mostly tried too hard to certain needed people and compromised others. It was unfair for many of us have to wait in the bus while he was generously tried help someone that should have not be in the tour to begin with.
- 12-Day South Korea Adventure: From Seoul to Jeju Island
The tour meets the expectations well, a great option to travel with like-minded people. Including a great tour guide Damien, he is one of the locals and knows a lot about South Korea. However, some accomodations could be a little bit better.
- South Korea Circle Adventure 5D/4N
The tour was very good. We were able to do alot of things in the 5 days period. The tour was operated under Kshuttle and they were some of the most generous, helpful and caring people to guide us. Really enjoyed my time.
