Good
To Know

  • US and Australian passport holders can generally visit South Korea visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. The temporary K-ETA exemption runs through 31 December 2026. For travel in 2027, check the rules for your passport and arrival date before departure; do not assume the exemption continues.

    We help you check the documents for your programme and assist with K-ETA when required. Language study, longer stays and other passport types may have different requirements. Entry approval is decided by Korean immigration.

    Official guidance: US passport holders · Australian passport holders · K-ETA

  • You purchase your plane tickets yourself. Once the group is confirmed, we'll send you a list of recommended flights with convenient connections and arrival times. That way, you can choose and buy your ticket directly from the airline or through whatever service you prefer, keeping flexibility and control over the price.
  • For personal spending (souvenirs, cafes, cosmetics, street food), $200 to $400 for the whole trip is usually enough. The amount depends on your habits and plans for the trip — Korea is generous with pretty little things and tasty temptations 😊
  • Participants arrange their own medical insurance. Throughout the tour, a guide will always be with you to help in any situation and, if needed, accompany you to a clinic or pharmacy.
  • Throughout the tour, participants stay in 4★ hotels in double rooms with separate beds. Rooms are assigned by gender. Single occupancy is available for an additional fee.

Practical questions

  • Yes, absolutely! We intentionally leave free hours and 1–2 days without excursions so you can rest, go shopping, eat at your favorite cafe or simply enjoy the city at your own pace.
  • All tours listed on the website are guaranteed. If the dates ever have to change due to force majeure, we will be sure to notify participants personally. So far, this has never happened 🙂 — everything goes according to plan!
  • After payment, you'll receive a booking confirmation and a message from a manager with detailed instructions: tour dates, the list of documents for K-ETA, guide contacts, and preparation tips. 2 months before the trip, we'll add you to the group chat, where you'll meet the other participants and get all tour updates.
  • Yes, we offer an in-house installment plan. The number of payments depends on how much time is left before the tour starts: the earlier you book, the more installments you can split the payment into and the easier it is to spread out the cost.
