South Korea Tours

South Korea has distinct 4 seasons, of which spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are the best seasons for a South Korea trip. During spring and fall, the climate is neither too hot nor too cold, with pleasant weather and vivid landscape for enjoying the cherry blossoms or flaming foliage. However, after all, when to pay a visit is up to you. If you prefer to indulge in the coastal areas of Busan and Jeju Island, a hot summer vibe may be more appealing. And winter, from December to February, is superb for skiing and other activities if you are a winter sports lover.

We provide private car transfer service for our guests to enjoy a hassle-free itinerary. If you are traveling independently, the public transportation of South Korea is rather reliable. You could grab a T-Money card at a convenience store or subway station for a convenient subway or bus ride in major cities. Buying train tickets is easy at stations for you to take a KTX high-speed train from Seoul to Busan or other major cities.

Here are three ways to transfer from the airport to downtown Seoul:
- Airport Railroad Express (AREX): Including the AREX Express Train and the AREX All Stop Train. The former runs non-stop to Seoul Station in about 45 minutes and costs 9,500 KRW (6.9 USD), and the latter takes 60 minutes and costs 4,150 KRW (3 USD).

- Airport Limousine Bus: Taking you to different areas of Seoul within one hour. The costs is around 9,000 to 18,000 KRW (6.5-13 USD), varying by buses.

- Taxi: The most convenient but expensive choice, which costs about 50,000 to 80,000 KRW (36-58 USD).

Yes. South Korea is very safe with a good social order and rare violent crimes. People are usually friendly to foreign visitors, especially in major cities and tourist areas. However, if you are going out to busy nightlife districts like Itaewon and Hongdae, it’s still recommended to pay attention to your safety and belongings.

Although the relations between North and South Korea have been tense for decades, it has little effect on the life of South Korean and tourists’ sightseeing, so there’s no need to worry.
