What we do
We build a day the guidebooks don't have
Itinerary design
We ask about interests, stamina, and the ages of everyone travelling with you. Not cramming the day is what makes an itinerary good.
Things you do here
A head spa, a neighbourhood cafe, the Han River at night, a Korean work dinner. Things no attraction list carries.
Travelling with children
We visit schools, and book half-day art or dance classes around what your child is into. Curious about Korean study culture? We take you to the libraries and study cafes.
Booking on your behalf
Where a reservation is needed, we call in Korean and secure it. Places new to foreign visitors, we check in advance.
Accompaniment on the ground
On the days you need it, we come along. Having someone beside you where the language doesn't reach is a different trip.
Reachable while you're here
Anything that comes up mid-trip, call us and we handle it. Changing a booking, finding your way, reworking the day.
You can hand us all six, or only the parts you need. Take the itinerary and travel on your own, or add accompaniment only on the days you want it.

What you get
What you hold before you fly
Itinerary page
Stops, transport, and booking details by day, all behind one link. Open it on your phone as you go.
Day-by-day itinerary
What happens when and where, and how to get there. Also in a form you can print and carry.
Booking list
Every reservation we made, with the time, the place, and how to confirm it, on one sheet.
A number while you're here
A line you can reach mid-trip. Having somewhere to call when something happens is the point.
Pricing approach
Quoted by what you hand over
Group size, trip length, and whether you want accompaniment on the ground all change the terms, so we don't keep a fixed rate card. You can take the itinerary only, or hand over everything through to on-site accompaniment. Tell us what you need and you'll have a written quote within 3 days of your inquiry.
- Planning
Itinerary only
We design the trip and make the bookings; you travel on your own. If you've travelled before, this is the lighter option.
- Per day
With accompaniment
We come along on the days you need. The whole trip, or only certain dates.
- Expenses
Costs actually incurred
Admissions, meals and transport are billed as expenses. We tell you the estimated amount before spending, and invoice with receipts afterwards.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a travel agency?
We don't sell a fixed route. Some people do want Gyeongbokgung and Myeongdong, but we don't fill a trip with only that. An itinerary starts from wanting to try a head spa, or to see the dinner Korean office workers actually go to. We use what people who live here know.
How many people can you take?
We work at small-group scale. A family or a few friends fits best. With larger numbers the places you can reach shrink and the days slow down, so we tell you upfront what stays possible and what gets hard.
Does this work with children?
Yes. Many of our travellers come with children, and the itinerary starts from what the child is into. We visit schools; for a student interested in technology we arrange the relevant sites and hands-on sessions, and for art or dance we book a half-day class. Curious about Korean study culture, we go to the libraries and study cafes. How much a day can hold changes a lot with age, so we ask before we plan.
Can we experience a Korean work dinner?
Yes. At the restaurants Korean office workers actually go to, run the way it actually runs. Not a version staged for visitors. We sit beside you and explain what is eaten and drunk, and what the talk at that table is about.
Can we take the itinerary without accompaniment?
Yes. Plenty of people hand over the design and the bookings and then travel on their own. The reverse works too: accompaniment on the first day, then on your own. We'll tell you which suits, once we see where you're going.
Do you book flights and hotels?
We suggest you book those yourself. Booking sites are usually cheaper and easier to change. What we do is tell you which areas and conditions fit the itinerary, and look at where you should stay for the next day's route. Anywhere that only takes Korean, we book for you.
What if we want to change the itinerary while we're there?
Call us and we adjust. Weather turns, or a place is better than expected and you want longer. Where a booking is involved we check whether it can be changed and tell you right away, and suggest somewhere else worth the time.
Are there costs beyond the quote?
Costs that are actually incurred, such as admissions, meals and transport, are billed separately as expenses. But we tell you the estimated amount and get your approval before spending, then invoice with receipts afterwards. Nothing outside the quote simply appears on a later invoice.
