Best of · SOUTH KOREA
The good south korea bus tours sell their front seats first and the great ones sell out entirely. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend a full day touring East Jeju with an English-speaking guide such as Elin or Zin. Entry fees and transport are included as you visit Micheongul Cave, Seongeup Village, Seongsan Ilchulbong, a haenyeo show, and Hamdeok Beach. Lunch is your own expense.
“Amazing trip, Elin is a great guide! Highly recommended 😃”
Spend a full day in southwest Jeju with an English-speaking guide such as Elin, Angela, or Kate. Ride between Hallasan viewpoints, Cheonjeyeon Falls, Jusangjeolli Cliff, O’sulloc, Songaksan, and Bomunsa Temple, with entrance fees and hotel drop-off included.
“We had an unforgettable trip with Elin. She is such an amazing and caring guide. We were lucky to have a small group, just about a dozen people on a minibus (on busier days you can expect to be a part of a larger group on a regular tour bus), so we enjoyed a more intimate experience. Elin really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. Not only was she fun and informative, but she supplied us with complimentary cold drinking water throughout the day, fed us local sweets, offered sun umbrellas to those in need, and we even got to win some tiny Jeju…”
Use a mobile ticket on Seoul’s Downtown Palace Course to reach major royal sites by hop-on hop-off bus. Ride the full loop in about 90 minutes, then get off at places such as Changdeokgung, Deoksugung, and Gwanghwamun. Audio is offered in 12 languages, but palace admission is extra.
“Great way to get to know the city and visit so many landmarks. You can tour the different areas at your own pace.”
Join English-speaking guide Fabio for a nine-and-a-half-hour small-group trip from Seogwipo into eastern Jeju. Visit Seongeup Folk Village, climb Seongsan Ilchulbong, learn about haenyeo culture, stop at Woljeongri Beach, and visit Manjanggul Cave when open. Weather and cave closures may change the route.
“A huge thank you to Fabio for his kindness, professionalism, and contagious passion for Jeju. Thanks to him, we discovered stunning and sometimes hidden spots in the eastern part of the island, enriched by his clear and insightful explanations that brought each place to life. This tour is an absolute must for anyone wishing to explore Jeju stress-free, while benefiting from local insights and anecdotes that make the experience truly unique. Perfect organization, breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable moments… I highly recommend this experience with my eyes closed!”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
