2.Jeju Island: Full-Day SouthWest Bus Tour with Entry Fees

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 269 reviews · from $43

You’ll spend a full day touring southwest Jeju by air-conditioned bus with an English-speaking guide. Stops include 1100 Highland, Cheonjeyeon Falls, Jusangjeolli Cliff, O’sulloc, Songaksan, and Bomunsa Temple. Guides such as Elin, Angella, and Kate are known for lively explanations, local snacks, photos, and careful organization.

“We had an unforgettable trip with Elin. She is such an amazing and caring guide. We were lucky to have a small group, just about a dozen people on a minibus (on busier days you can expect to be a part of a larger group on a regular tour bus), so we enjoyed a more intimate experience. Elin really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. Not only was she fun and informative, but she supplied us with complimentary cold drinking water throughout the day, fed us local sweets, offered sun umbrellas to those in need, and we even got to win some tiny Jeju…”

3.Seoul Hop-On Hop-Off Downtown Palace Course

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 71 reviews · from $38Best value

Use Seoul City Tour Bus’s Downtown Palace Course to reach royal sites such as Changdeokgung, Deoksugung, and Gwanghwamun. The roughly 90-minute loop offers multilingual audio and hop-on, hop-off freedom, but stop locations and bus intervals can be unclear. Palace admission costs extra, and careful planning is essential.

“Great way to get to know the city and visit so many landmarks. You can tour the different areas at your own pace.”
