Hi


Has anybody tried Apple Holidays 7D Korea Winter Wonderland? Thinking of going this Dec.

Any feedback?

thanks

Have not tried Apple Holidays and absolutely nothing against them, but in general, for trips above $1K per person, I would say go for the bigger boys in the market, more reliable, in my opinion.

Anyone planning for a trip to Korea this year end holiday ?


I am thinking of planning for a trip with 2A3C... DIY... Not following tour. Wonder if it is too late to book accommodation, air tickets, etc.

Or... should i just forget it and follow tour ?

Hi,


My family of 5 is planning a DIY holiday to Seoul this Nov/Dec.

We appreciate your advice/recommendations on 2-bedrm serviced apartments or hotels around LotteWorld & also a nearby ski resort for 3D2N stay. We are also keen to try out the Korean style motel too.

Has anyone tried Hans Apartments or Ibis hotel?

On the ski package, how do we get a good package - is it better to book tog with the accommodation?

Thank you so much!

We have booked for 8 days to Korea + Jeju, leaving 1st week of Dec.

Is woollen long john compulsory ? Find them very pokey.

Me too. Thought of going with my children this Dec.


Have not booked. Hope not too late…

Been there before and i thought it would be good to follow tour especially with children since the tour bus will bring us right to the spot of attraction and hence do not need to carry luggages around. Its a problem trying to understanding korea words although most of the roads now have English writings after the Olympic games.

I remember I extended a few days with my friends on our own in Seoul during the last visit and for our meals, we could only go to food courts with pictures as we couldn’t make out what it said in the menu. Unlike in Japan, they have some chinese characters so you could guess.
