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.

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..

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