Bought KL-Seoul ticket on 13th April - 20th April 2015 for RM808 including baggage and seat

Hello, I'll be traveling to Jeju in May and was advised to either take bus tour or rent a car. I am opting for the former.

Please could you recommend me a tour agency which provide such service? Also, can I purchase the package on the day itself over the counter or advisable to book in advance?

Many thanks.

You can try YEHAtour (http://www.yehatour.com/jeju2014/tour/yehabus/main.php?lang=eng&lcode=01). During matta last matta fair, YEHA has their own booth to promote their jeju package and their guesthouse.. Next month, there'll be another MATTA FAIR at pwtc. You may come to their booth and compare with other travel agents as well.

Other than bus tour or rent a car, you can also consider rent a taxi.. by renting a taxi, you can select yourself on which attractions you want to visit.

based on the link i give you above, bus tour cost 78k won per person. If renting a taxi, cost is about 120K won per taxi, that can fits up to 4 adult.

wahh..i just got back from korea 2 weeks back..still missing the weather there..
my tix i bought last year was the same as yours..
expenditure wise..rm5k for 2 people for a week is more than enough..i've change 3.2k for 2 pax..yet i brought back home rm200..which i did do a lot of shopping there...

try look for robin's nest guest house in itaewon..it is a very comfortable guest house with fully furnished facilities u can get..we stayed there for a week..and it is located nearby metro and night life...

i'm sorry if i repeat the same question..but..

i'm craving for more banana milk..can anyone advice me how to get it in malaysia?pretty please...

Thanks Zeese.

Since I am travelling with my partner, hiring a taxi works out to be cheaper. I know that bus tour includes admission tickets to some attractions. Is the 18k won saved per person from hiring the taxi enough to cover the tickets? Do we also need to cover for the driver's meal?

18k just good enough to cover entrance fees for nature's attraction.. like waterfall, ilchubong peak, yeongmeori coast, cliffs, odeolgae rock, etc, caves, etc. When it comes to muzium and other man made's stuff, it becomes expensive.. loveland ~18k, seongup folk village ~16k, etc. And you have to cover the taxi driver's meal too.. meal in jeju is costly. it's around rm30-rm50 per meal set..

I don't want to say taxi is better than tour bus or vice versa. I'm just giving you an opinion and idea. You need to plan the detail yourself and see which gives better savings..

just wondering if i can buy the ticket to watch the kpop performance that helf every weekend?

at south korea, do they accept credit card at shopping complex and dining?

using credit card got better rate than cash?

bring korea won or ringgit malaysia or usd is more valuable to korea?

thanks

Much appreciated, zeese. Will do a bit more reading and asking around before deciding which to opt for. Cheers :-)

Seoul is very credit card friendly place... even small makan place accepts CC (without the "you-no-cash" look)

Haha I also surprise by the card friendly ppl in Korea ..not only in Seoul but also Busan.. imagine foodcourt.. order 4000 jangjang mien also using card ..Well everyone uusing card so I used-lah ..Furthermore, signing is on touchpad..cool..

I wonder how did everyone get less than rm1.5k return ticket to Seoul. Booked mine yesterday for March 20-29 for rm1950.

for 1 pax? MAS?

haha, easy.. wait for promo season, usually during matta fair or year end.. that is for MAS..

For AirAsia, since they have random promo, just check it everyday..

wow.. that's overkill.. even during non-promo, I can still get less than that.. Next time when you search, try look for price as close as possible to 600++.. Sometimes, some lucky people can even get 500++ return trip (price without luggage and add-ons..)..

The price is cheap during promo, during the first time the fare for that date is released on schedule, and sometimes, during last minute, probably because they don't want to waste the empty seats..

then use credit card or cash is more valuable at seoul?

Yes for 1 pax

Yeah I wish I booked it 5-6 months ago, but this was last minute decision. I just check airasia is over 2k to ICN on 4th week of March.
