Five days across Korea’s two great cities.

Guide language & notes
An English-speaking guide is included throughout. A German- or Turkish-speaking guide can be arranged on request for an additional charge — please advise at booking.
The itinerary is subject to change due to flight schedules, local conditions or operational circumstances, and the programme can be adjusted to your preferences on request.
Optional excursions & add-ons
Rates are per person in USD, twin share (2 per room), for a private group of either 4 or 8 travellers — the larger the group, the lower the per-person price. Hotels are 3–4★. This is a private tour: touring is by your own chauffeured vehicle (Carnival Limousine or Solati) with an English-speaking guide throughout; the guide schedules time for prayers (roughly 3 of the 5 daily prayers) and guides you to prayer facilities and halal restaurants. Seoul–Busan and Busan–Seoul are by KTX high-speed train (about 2 hrs 30 each way). International flights are not included. The itinerary may change with flight schedules and local conditions and can be tailored on request. Please ensure passports are valid 6+ months beyond return.
Frequently asked
Yes — it is a Muslim-oriented package. Lunches and dinners are taken at halal restaurants throughout, your guide schedules time for prayers (roughly 3 of the 5 daily prayers) and guides you to prayer facilities, and you receive a VIP welcome on arrival. Hotels are Muslim-friendly rather than halal-certified; we advise mosques, prayer rooms and halal dining in both Seoul and Busan.
Rates are per person in USD, twin share, and depend on your private group size — 4 or 8 travellers. Because the vehicle and guide are shared across your own group, a group of 8 works out lower per person than a group of 4. International flights are not included.
Yes — it is fully private: your own chauffeured vehicle (Carnival Limousine or Solati) and guide, just for your group. An English-speaking guide is included; a German- or Turkish-speaking guide is available on request for an additional charge.
By KTX high-speed train — about 2 hours 30 minutes each way, and included in the package. City touring in both Seoul and Busan is by your private chauffeured vehicle.
