Hi mowmow,


You had mentioned about the hotpot that are being serve in Korea, does it come with non-spicy one for kid?

Does the resturant serve fish? My son prefer fish more than meat.

The hotpots are all not spicy. As for fish, heard from tour guide very expensive. So, during the trip, all meals provided were either pork or chicken. My children only got to eat fish on our free day when we visited a Japanese restaurant.

For me, never like to follow agency unless really necessary.

Korea can go on own (MRT very easy) if you stay in a convenient lodging.

If you want a local guide, i can recommend. This one price reasonable and speak reasonably mandarin.

Go Korea on ourself!!!! But I am afraid of language problem leh. Taking their MRT, how does we identify each individual station???

Would be very appriciate, if you could recommend a local guide. By the way, how is the charges like huh?

I was in Korea briefly in 2005, so I may remember wrongly but there are English signages around.


In Seoul, you may like to purchase a day-tour bus ticket - this bus travels around major attractions in Seoul and you can hop on/off for the whole day.

If you’re on your own, you can go to the tourism bureau’s stand (usually available at airport) to pickup maps, tour information and plan your itinerary.

My experience with Korea is that they don’t really speak English. But there should not be too much problems really.

Hi bee8250


Yes, i am thinking of going in Dec…my DD could only go during sch holidays. Dec should be winter and it’s will be a different experience for her. My friend tried ASA last Dec and said it’s good.

Hi, we went with CTC last year. Lodging all very good and food provided also not bad. Tour guide is a Korean, he speaks good Mandarin but funny English.
