I reserved the Birthday Package Fairline Yacht for my family of 8. The boat was decorated with balloons, banner, delicous treats, drinks, cake, flowers, pictures I sent when I booked the package, etc. I was beyond impressed with the details and wonderful service during our boat ride. The captain was really friendly and tried to accomodate my family in every way. He even took photos for us and played music that we requested. I highly recommend this yacht company for anyone celebrating a birthday! They made it very special and memorable. Thank you so much!

when purchasing the program says chicken and picnic rug to be collected after the tuber ride, however we were given them at the beginning of the ride, so we had no choice but to eat it on the boat as it went cold quickly. other than that peaceful ride, recommend choosing after 730-8pm to experience sun down, we went at 6 and it was very hot.

First time watching a baseball match real live and it was very interesting experience! We first met up with the guide and the rest of the group at the sports complex station at 4pm, and walked around 10min to kychon chicken nearby for early dinner. We shared 4 baskets of chicken with 4 other foreigners from USA/Scotland and it was fun interacting with them. A cup of beer was served during dinner, they will offer drinks if you don’t take alcohol. Afterwhich we walked over to the Jamsil station which is 10min away to watch the match, it was a great experience listening to all the Korean cheer for their favourite team, singing along with actions. Had a great view of the cheerleader dancing too. Great job to Twins for winning the game.

This was an amazing activity.
We never practiced any martial arts, but we could fit very well in the scheduled lesson.
Ryun managed to show and made us practice many different kicks. The experience was very fun for us and was also very enjoyable through Ryun and the other taekwondoists. They all were very sweet and made sure we had a great time!
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try out something new!!

I’d happily run with Han Stride again! Our 9:30 p.m. running tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The guides were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about running and building a community. We got to experience beautiful places around the palace at night, which we never would have discovered on our own.
What impressed me most was how accommodating they were with our pace. This tour is perfect for beginners who want a fun jog as well as experienced runners looking for a unique way to explore the city. The atmosphere was relaxed, encouraging, and full of positive energy.
If I return to Seoul, I will absolutely join another run with them. I highly recommend Han Stride to anyone who loves running, sightseeing, and meeting people who truly enjoy sharing their city and their passion for the sport. It felt less like a tour and more like running with friends.

This experience following Coach Jay was fantastic. Although I am not good at English and Korean, he was still very patient, explaining each movement one by one in English so that I could clearly understand and complete them. Thank you so much for his professionalism and attentiveness!

What to know before visiting Seoul
What to expect in Seoul
Seoul’s calendar is driven by Cultural experiences, Theme parks and Observation decks, with Events & shows and Massages rounding out the mix according to Klook booking data. Demand rises and falls through the year: November is the busiest month while August is the quietest. That rhythm means visitors will find a lively festival and sightseeing atmosphere in late autumn, while summer wanes into quieter weeks for indoor activities and wellness. Decide whether you prefer peak-season energy or quieter, more flexible plans. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit and typical prices
November is the peak month for demand, while August is the trough; prices drift modestly through the year with July showing the upper end and April the lower end on Klook. Where demand and prices move together you’ll feel busy and pay more; where they diverge, you can sometimes catch lower prices with moderate crowds. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider April and the quieter months around August and September. For peak-season atmosphere choose November and nearby busier months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | USD 25 |
| February | Quieter than usual | USD 22 |
| March | Quieter than usual | USD 21 |
| April | Busier than usual | USD 20 |
| May | Busier than usual | USD 22 |
| June | Busier than usual | USD 21 |
| July | About average | USD 25 |
| August | Quieter than usual | USD 23 |
| September | Quieter than usual | USD 23 |
| October | About average | USD 21 |
| November | Busier than usual | USD 21 |
| December | Busier than usual | USD 22 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to base yourself in Seoul
On Klook, Jongno is the most affordable district for typical nightly hotels at USD 88, while Songpa sits at the priciest end with USD 169; the gap between them is roughly 48% based on Klook booking data. Jongno’s lower typical price tends to suit travellers prioritising budget and easy access to cultural experiences, while Songpa’s higher prices suit visitors seeking a more premium neighbourhood feel or higher-end accommodations. Mid-range needs are often met in districts like Jung-gu, Yongsan and Gangnam, per Klook booking data.
Tips for travellers planning ahead
Most travellers book activities about 6 days ahead on Klook, while the earliest planners book around 20 days out, so expect moderate planning lead times. That makes the city easy to visit on short notice, but in the November peak it pays to book sooner rather than later. Use Klook to lock in cultural experiences and theme park tickets in busier months, and take advantage of more flexible availability in quieter months like August and April. Based on Klook booking data, these patterns show typical booking behaviour and help you decide how far ahead to plan.
