As a foreigner traveling during the Korean Holidays, this rail pass got me on the high-speed train in and out of Seoul hassle-free

very easy and convenient 👌 would recommend. a very comfortable ride (luxury bus). couldnt find tix on other sites/or was expensive, so this was a good option

I bought a 2 day pass and it was worth it. I was able to use it to go to Gyeongju and Busan, and then return to Seoul on the same day (visited one city per day). Booking of tickets or reservation of seats was relatively easy as long as you follow the instructions. I was able to reserve my seats even in just one day prior to my trip. Fortunately, they regularly update their site to show the available seats on their scheduled trips. I always choose KTX trains as they are the fastest. Once the seats are reserved, you only need to go the station, check for the designated platform of your train, hop in once it is already boarding time, take your chosen or assigned seat, and then relax. Very convenient travel. They even have charging ports, which was very handy in recharging your devices. This is really recommended if you intend to just visit any city in Korea (in KTX's network) and still return to Seoul on the same day.

Highly recommended! Booking was a breeze and when we checked while in the terminal, schedules were real time. would definitely use this again in future South Korea travels.

Dongdaemun has modern outlets and duty-free shops, both of which are easy to visit. The discount coupon provided by Outlet can be discounted for 10,000 won, which is very cost-effective. This recommendation must be purchased.

Definitely worth going on this tour. It was so much fun! Our tour guide, Lanson, was friendly and super organized!

Had so much fun making kimchi! The teacher was very welcoming, explains the steps with passion and even goes beyond with her photography efforts. We were served with iced tea (perfect during hot weather) prior to the session and ended it with a scrumptious kimchi pancake. Friendly activity for all ages (we have teenagers, adults and elderly in our group)
