What travelers are saying

"Completely unethical booking situation. I requested a tour, submitted my CC info to hold the tour and tried to cancel it the following day. (My daughter broke her foot thus we couldn’t go). We were told the tour was not ‘confirmed’ but they still had to reach out to their local team prior to cancelling. The charge on credit card read pending. The intermediary company, Tour Radar, assured me that On the Go Travel would drop the pending charge. After a week or so, I got a generic email saying congratulations your tour has been booked. The full charge appeared on my credit card. I am livid. I am currently working with Tour Radar to drop the charge. Regardless of how this turns out, I will never ever travel with On the Go Travel."

What travelers are saying

"Another wonderful trip organised by the team at Audley Travel. This time we arranged a holiday to South Africa. Robyn Hutchons was our advisor and her personal experience and knowledge was invaluable in planning the holiday. The local ground agents in South Africa were extremely helpful in resolving some car hire problems. All in all, I have no hesitation in recommending Audley and we will certainly be using them again for our holidays."

What travelers are saying

"We used gate 1 for the first time for our travels to Greece. We were very impressed with the ease of travel. We were picked up from the airport and met our guide Angela/Άντζελα. She was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and she went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. By far the best guide I've had on an international trip. Gate 1 handled all travel from city to city and we didn't have to worry about booking hotels or carrying luggage everywhere. Would definitely book another trip."

Seoul Tour Selection Trips

  • Most tours will tie in with other destinations around the country, but there are certain tours that focus only on Seoul.

    Because food is such a huge part of Korean culture, the food tour could be a good choice if you have an interest in gastronomy. But be aware that most dishes will be a little spicy.

    Tours are generally focused on a cultural experience, meaning they’ll spend more time exploring historical sites, landmarks, palaces, and the like.

    You will be given free time by most tour companies to do the exploring in the modern areas of Seoul by yourself.

    Most Seoul tours run under Tours4Fun, which is a Mandarin-speaking tour company. Be prepared to do most sightseeing yourself, although they will provide you with the transportation and accomodation.
