South Korea Tour Selection Trips
Going on a trip to South Korea? Make the most of your adventure with these handy travel tips:
- Remember to bow when greeting and offering items with two hands as a sign of respect.
- Tipping is not customary and may even be frowned upon in traditional restaurants.
- South Korea has a combination of squat toilets and Western-style flushable toilets. It's best to carry your own toilet paper and hand sanitizers or soap.

- Rent a portable Wi-Fi device or purchase a local SIM card to stay connected throughout your trip.
- Take advantage of public transportation options like buses and subways, which offer convenient and affordable ways to navigate the country.
- Carry cash for smaller establishments that may not accept cards.
- Learn basic phrases in the local languages of the countries on your itinerary to connect with locals.
- Bring a power adapter — South Korean plugs and sockets are Type C and F.
- Bring earphones since playing anything loud in public is considered rude.
