Im goin with parents, any recommendations on private tour guides which i cn charter ,?thx

Guys, is 30k spending money daily enough?
Im not buying anything much and its for transport (bus/train), food and entrance fees (if any).

yes if you are eating average meals for 3 meals ( ~5000-7000 won per meal)

Thanks but are the street or lower end restaurant food priced like that?

30k can la..but i think u shud buffer a lil bit more..esp u mention got entrance fees.。

street food u can get at 3000-5000 too but its not filling lo.

I see thanks. Then maybe i should buffer about 40k won a day for food, transport or any entrance fees.
Im planning to bring around 300k spending money for my 7 days trip. Enough?

street food is more expensive lor. one stick maybe 3000-5000 liao and it's not full. for 6000 won u can get a proper meal at a cheaper restaurant (meat + rice + appetisers + plain water)

Bingsu on it's own can range from 3000-8000 depending on the place also

I see. At least got such food at that price.

300k won around RM1000 definitely not enough..i brought RM2k for 7 days its ngam ngam only..

u mention 40k for food,transport and entrance fee..but u forget to count the miscellaneous stuffs..

like lets say for a bit of shopping, or when u go convenience store, airport transfer etc.

Then maybe i'll bring around 450k.

Thanks for the advice.

yup..
but remember don splurge..

to be safe, put 40k in ur wallet everyday..u see almost finish d, then cepat balik hotel tidur..hahha

Sorry for using chinese. Because I posted in Cari Forum to ask for help.

i am wonder do you have energy to visit 7 places on day 2 without proper sleep.
i personally think that your average 7 places a day is too tense to complete.

Which day? Any suggestion how should I amend it?

Just share my personal experience. I did the similar trip like you in the past.

For your itenarary, i foresee you will not be slept well on day 2 on the plane. Transit flight 5 hours waiting in HK airport bench i presume. Don't think you have a proper rest even after board on plane within 2:20am to 6:40am.
Only 4hours ++ inflight sleep and you next need to cover/visit 7 places (by foot/public transport i presume). It will be too exhausted and will not be a relax trip.

Do not forget you have the similar quantity of places to visit next & subsequent days.
Your leg will start soring after 3 to 4 days non stop walking/standing during the travel.

On day 9, you may need time travel to namiseom. By the time you back to seoul already afternoon. You have another half day only to cover the rest.

After my experience on tense travel. I Personally prefer visit less places with quality leisure instead of quantity visit more places in a single day.

How come 三清洞 is on Day 6? Samcheong-dong is in Seoul though.

Thanks for the advise. Will redo the itinerary again. The day 9 you mentioned I not quite understand. I didn't go Nami island. Are you saying I can go nami island on day 10?

Hi, I would like to ask
From Gimpo Airport to my airbnb near Ewha station.
With our luggage, the easiest way of transportation is take train to Hongik Univ Station, then take taxi to our airbnb? As I research Ewha Station has no elevator, it will be difficult to take subway?
