Hamburger Hypersonic February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 I beg to differ, unless you speak the language, or you're revisiting Korea or you have friends there..... else for a first time visit, I would recommend packaged tour.... How to R&R when they hardly speak English there!!! Comms prob Transportation also a problem how should i put it??? you have to experience it yourself to know it, for all i know, many will never go back agency once they tried it.......... getting around is as easy as in spore. Research is a must if planing to go R&R. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count-Bracula Twincharged February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Sorry TS, OT abit. How is it going to S.Korea on free-and-easy? Don't like going with tour group due to past bad experience with uncouth people. Really sickening to be paying and yet travelling with ar$eholes. Seriously you guys must have experienced this?

Research is a must if planing to go R&R. I hate tour group but heard korea is impossible to travel without tour group? As in transport problem. I won't care much about language, had tried vietnam and sri lanka F&E. Just point what we want and they take money show to indicate price. Want go anywhere take map and point the place or show them the place name in their language. Can even take public bus in sri lanka, their bus has no numbers or indication but I never once take the wrong bus. Most important is to open mouth and ask.

Everything is OTOT, really no stress .... One thing for free and easy is need to do planning and have time discipline.... To me it's only good if u have a lot of time and plan to explore more than what tour agency can provide then u f&e. Just imagine if u have to queue for all the tickets and arrange for the transport, beat lunch time crowd etc. If u wan to see/experience more within a short period of time, choose tour package, no brainier.

Pchmj Clutched February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 I will only join tour package if they don't bring me to tourist shops or if the place die die needs a tour guide like climbing mount KK. Most of the time, they rush through when you are in place in interest say lack of time. Then in tourist shops, they give you all the time in the world to shop. I spend money and leave to enjoy, not to go tourist shops. I hate to visit a place just to take a picture to prove I'm there. I rather don't go if that's the case. OTOT can stay in the place you like and slowly explore. Eat, shop and travel as the locals do, soak into their culture. Only then I can say I've been there before. I avoid tourist shops and eatery as much as I can, unless I want to buy souvenirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomazsky Clutched February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Try ASA. Went with them earlier last year, price among the better ones (not cheapest), tour quality and service is very good. Agreed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
