Travel advice

Language

Here are a few basic words in Korean in preparation for your trip. We use guides who are fluent in English and can also arrange guides who can speak Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian and other languages so it will not be necessary for you to speak Korean. Nevertheless it would be a nice touch to speak a word or two. This is to get you started:
