- RMRichard· May 23rd, 2025This tour comes highly recommended. We had some unforgettable experiences and visited some amazing places. It offers activities and access that you would struggle to organise and structure independently. Above all, we were guided expertly by Ellen, whose care, good humour, organisation and knowledge made our South Korean visit so special. Quality hotels and transport were provided, and having such great organisation removed any chance of stress. This was great value for money too and a holiday we’ll always remember and treasure.Show more

Asked on April 29th, 2025I am a solo traveler and will be visiting South Korea, looking for group tour

Daniela
Asked on April 6th, 2025It says that the flight to Jeju to Seoul is included. What about the flight from Busan to Jeju? Which airport is the one for arrival from Jeju to Seoul?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2025

Daniela
Traveler•Written April 2025The tour indicates that on day 4 at Gyeongju to take a bike for a cycling tour. I don't know how to ride a bike. What should I do? Any options? At what time is the group meeting dinner on day 1. I checked flights and they arrive to Incheon airport by mid afternoon.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2025
On Day 4, if you cannot bike, you can opt to explore the old town on foot independently. The old town is small and easy to navigate. Around 1.30hrs walk is enough to cover the main sights. Ask directions from your leader. On Day 1, Welcome Meeting will be at 5pm in Seoul and then Group Dinner at around 6pm.

Asked on March 29th, 2025When does flight arrive to Seoul on last day of trip
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written March 2025
The return flight on the last day of the trip arrives at Seoul Gimpo Airport before 1pm. From there, you can take the metro directly to Incheon Airport, which takes roughly 35 minutes. If you're flying out the same day, we recommend booking your departure flight in the evening to give yourself plenty of time for the transfer and check-in.

Nancy
Asked on March 3rd, 2025Is there any way she can be on this particular tour.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written March 2025
Please ask them to complete the tour suitability form that I've attached to this booking portal and send it back to us. Once completed, I'll pass it onto our operations team to see if they can accept her onto the tour.

Asked on February 20th, 2025Is it possible for a senior traveler aged 84 and 87 to participate in this tour?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
The tour officially starts at 17:00 on Day 1 with a Welcome Meeting, followed by dinner at 18:00. If you prefer not to join the cycling tour, you can explore the old town on foot independently. It's small and easy to navigate, and a 1.5-hour walk will cover the main sights. The trip ends at Seoul Gimpo Airport before 1 PM. If you're flying out from Incheon Airport, you can take the metro from Gimpo Airport to Incheon Airport, which takes about 35 minutes.

Asked on February 14th, 2025I'd like to take up to 9 Oct option. Please can you confirm there are definitely places for this date.
- A
Alexis
Traveler•Written February 2025I don't understand. The website is allowing me to book 2 places?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
Whenever a booking is processed through our website, we still have to assess the capacity before confirming the booking. Unfortunately, there's no availability for the 4th September 2025. As an alternative, you could join our 12-Day South Korea Adventure: From Seoul to Jeju Island departing on the 7th September 2025, and opt for a private room upgrade.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
Yes, there are definitely spaces available for the 9th October departure at the moment. Do you have any other questions about the booking process or the tour?

Asked on February 12th, 2025can we changed that to stay in a hotel?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
We've removed the temple stay for the 2025 & 2026 seasons. So you if you book you'll have the hotel option booked by default.

Vanessa
Asked on February 10th, 2025If I book as a solo female traveler, what happens if there isn't another solo female traveler to share a room with?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
Typically, the standard procedure for this would depend on the number of solo female travellers. If there is just 1 you would have a single room and basically get a free upgrade. If it's an odd number with 3 or more we would create a rotation of women who get the single room in each location (As we cannot pick favourites and need to be fair to everyone).

Nancy
Asked on February 6th, 2025What time would the group meet on Day 1, Apr 20?

Cynthia
Asked on February 4th, 2025Need you to confirm my attendance on this tour on a shared room basis. Also, just to be upfront, I don't know how to ride a bike - everything else suits me just fine. Can't afford the single supplement so very willing to share a room.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
There are already other solo female travellers booked on this tour so we can room you together. We can make a note on your booking about the bike ride and the team can provide a walking route you can take instead.

Cynthia
Traveler•Written February 2025We have to clarify that you will let me join your tour because I am 80 years old - but very young for my age and active. I would not be that person that holds up the tour waiting for the old person to catch up.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
Could you please fill our tour suitability form and upload the filled version? Our team will review this and check if we can make an exception to our age policy.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2025
Unfortunately, our Korea team has advised that we cannot make an exception in this case and have to stick to our age policy of 75 years for this tour.
