    This tour was an excellent way to see the highlights in South Korea. We had a nice small group (as far as group tours go, with only 16 guests) and one of the best tour leaders we have ever had in Genie Nam. We did some really great experiences that we would never have done on our own. It’s alway excellent not having to think about where to stay or how to get there. I would highly recommend this tour if you haven’t been to South Korea as it definitely introduces you to the country. BTW - South Korea is amazingly safe, organized and friendly.

    Diane

    Asked on August 18th, 2025

    During the Temple visit, do we have to participate in the chanting and meditation? For the cycle tour, do they have bicycles that have three wheels or double person bikes?

    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten August 2025

      You don't have to participate in any of the activities you don't want. We understand not everyone is going to enjoy everything on the itinerary. You should enjoy the tour as you want to. You don't have to participate in the chanting and meditating at the temple. I've contacted our team in Korea to check if there's a tandem bike or tricycle for you to use. If you cannot cycle, 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 for directions from your leader.

      Diane

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Do you have this trip available in June 2026 or July 2026 for 4 people?

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten August 2025

      Yes, we have the following start dates available for around June and July 2026: 21-May-26, 4-Jun-26, 11-Jun-26, 25-Jun-26, 2-Jul-26, 9-Jul-26, 13-Aug-26. There's still availability for the 4 of you to join one of these dates. My team have informed me there are no tricycles or tandem bikes available for the cycling tour. The only other option would be a walking tour of the city.

    Asked on August 7th, 2025

    I have a lady travelling by herself who really wants to see the Cherry blossom areas in South Korea. At this time (March) will this tour spend some time chasing the blossom?

    Tour Details

      The cherry blossoms will be everywhere in South Korea and Seoul, so she'll be able to venture to the parks in the city to see them.

    Alexis

    Asked on July 14th, 2025

    Is the flight back to Seoul still included if we extend stay in Jeju and take the flight 4 days later? If the tour finishes on the 18th July, can we fly to Seoul on the 22nd or 23rd instead?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      Yes, the flight from Jeju to Seoul is included in the trip price. If they would like to extend their time in Jeju and fly back later, that is not a problem and our team can arrange the flight accordingly. It is important to note they would need to make their own way to Jeju Airport before the flight. We would need to know in advance to the tour when they would like to travel to Seoul, so our team can arrange the flights. If they require any additional accommodation in Jeju, we can also arrange this.

  • J

    Jeff

    Asked on July 13th, 2025

    On the 10 day tour for South Korea with the last stop in jeju followed by a flight back to Seoul, if we stay longer on jeju can we delay the included flight back to Seoul?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      If you would like to spend a few extra nights in Jeju and have your flight scheduled for a different day, then we can definitely organise that for you. If needed, we can book you additional nights on the island too. Please bear in mind, that if you postpone your stay on the island, you would need to arrange your own airport transfer on Jeju though.

      Jeff

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      We would be looking to have another 4 nights on Jeju with our flight back to Seoul on the 22nd. Please will you give me some costs for the extra nights with hotel options. I would like a hotel with a pool by the beach in jeju.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      The hotel we use on our trips in Jeju is the The Grand Sumorum. It's a 4-star hotel with a pool.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten July 2025

      For the Grand Sumorum Hotel in Jeju, the post-trip nights are priced at $305 NZD per night, per room.

    Debbie

    Asked on June 19th, 2025

    Are there any age restrictions for your tours? My husband and I are over 75 and want to know if we can join a tour to Korea.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      Our recommended age limit is 18-75, but we can sometimes be flexible. We have a tour suitability form to assess if the trip would be a good fit for you. The 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure generally attracts a more mature demographic and has less focus on influencer-style tourism.
