hw abt 3oct - 13oct period?

Starting in late September, leaves turn in Korea’s midlands and in the high places of the southern areas by mid-October. Autumn hues reach the southern tip of the peninsula around from late October to early November.

actually all the agency so far quote me abt the same price. it's 1.5k+ without deviation charges. yeah, some told me mid to end october. but i goggled about it and find out that the maple leaves 'grow' from different regions, so some might be able to see it at jeju, some at mt sorak etc. depends on where u wanna see i guess?

so far i prefer chan brothers itinerary the most :)

Hihi, I just booked for my 8D6N package with Nam Ho. Departing 29th October, to coincide with Depavali public holiday. So excited. :s12:

Reason I choose this company is cause they include DMZ, outlet mall and also visit Mt. Sorak. I noticed some of the other tour companies dont go Mt Sorak at all. I am interested in viewing maple leaves too. And, there is less of those mid tour farm visits etc.

Anyone else interested to join? Right now, only 2 pax. Need at least 10 to depart. My package is 1288+288 (taxes) = 1576.

BTW, anybody went with Nam Ho before? This is my first time trying this company.

May I know which tour is this? Include Jeju? Last time when I called, they say all October tours not out yet. :(

I know last year only CTC offer Naejansan. My choice for maple leaves are either Mt Sorak or Naejansan.

it's grandeur of korea tour package. pm me if u want to see the itinerary :) includes jeju, nami island, daegu, muju, everland, lotte world, naejansan.

really like this itinerary cos for the dates i am going, i think naejansan shud be able to see the maple leaves.

dun really like nam ho one cos they dun really have autumn special. for chan bro, they have autumn special and have naejansan specially for maple leaves.

and we are staying 5-6 stars hotel.

I went to Hongthai in hope to book for Dec Winter tour, after reviewing their itinerary, find it's kinda very rushing compared to Chan Brother, ASA and Dynasty.

But their price is definitely attractive. Flying by Korea airlines, extension per person will cost SGD 200.00 and subjected to airlines approval.

We decided not to take any risk, go on DIY free and easy.
