- TBTim· April 14th, 2023Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe tour was great, I have rarely experienced so much in 8 days. Our tour guide Pam was so accommodating, helpful and nice and she knew her stuff! I guess Intrepid really puts a lot of emphasis on good guides. I would definitely recommend a few extra days in Seoul though, there is too much to see in the city to experience it in the two days.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your review Tim! - We're so pleased you enjoyed a jam-packed 8 days exploring South Korea with us and your leader Pam.

Asked on May 6th, 2025How many stars is the Hotel accommodation on this tour?

Stacey
Traveler•Written May 2025When I went in to book this tour, the price changed to $3931 per person. However it was advertised at $3700 per person on the date 07/06/2025-15/06/2025. I have screenshots to prove this. Can this be fixed so I can book the tour for the advertised price. The tour is called South Korea Highlights by Intrepid.
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2025As you have chosen an original style trip, accommodation in most locations will be in simple tourist-class hotels (i.e. 2-3 stars).

Laura
Traveler•Written February 2025I mean transport time from one destination to another one. I have back issue and can not sit continuously for more than 2 hr and need to stand up and move around. For those long travelling time will there be a stop over for a stretching break?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2025
Private transport offers flexibility for stops whenever needed. The driver can stop more often for breaks as requested. For the express bus and KTX bullet train, while these methods generally have limited stops, you can coordinate with the tour leader to make sure you are seated in a comfortable spot and plan for breaks during the travel.
