Tour08โs tour package options start at just 20,000 won, so why not take off on an adventure today!
Who Is K-Tour08
K-Tour08 began operation back in 2013 and started offering its services to foreigners in 2016. So, they have around 6 years of experience working with foreigners and it shows! The staff effectively communicated with their foreign clients and they make the best travel buddies.
K-Tour08โs Korean name is ์ฌํ๊ณต๋ฐฉ, which simply means tour or travel (์ฌํ) and workshop (๊ณต๋ฐฉ). So, where does the โ08โ come from? Well cutely enough, ๊ณต sounds like the number zero and ๋ฐฉ sounds like the number 8. Plus, South Korea has 8 mainland provinces. What a coincidence!
They are a company that offers unique all-inclusive packages that include multiple experiences in a single trip. See the example below of their trip offerings:
Official Gangwon Province Partner
In 2021 K-Tour08 was selected as Gangwon provinceโs official travel agency partner. They continue to be their partner this year, and hopefully far into the future. And so, as an official partner, youโll be sure to see lots of new tours like the ones above, all at a reasonable price.
Their amazingly priced tour packages of Gangwon province offer unique overnight trips jam-packed with experiences. They offer a blend of traditional cultural experiences as well as hitting all of the hot-spots.
Activities range from museum tours for artsy types, to visits to the skywalk observatory for all you adrenaline junkies. Everyone is sure to find an activity theyโll love! Plus, youโll get to stay at some pretty nice hotels once the day of fun is done.
What Makes K-Tour08 Unique
Sponsored Trips
Each year K-Tour08 hosts a number of sponsored trips. These trips are created alongside provincial governments to promote local tourism. And so, because the government is footing part of the bill, you can enjoy a discounted vacation!
Many of these trips focus on local festivals including the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival, Boryeong Mud Festival, and the Muan White Lotus Festival.
Rural Experience Trips
K-Tour08 offers a ton of unique experiences in rural Korea. These trips allow you to experience the traditional side of Korea. Plus, try some freaking amazing food! If you think Korean food is good in Seoul โ just wait until youโve tried some countryside cooking.
Some of the rural experiences they offer include chili paste making, rice cake making, trout fishing, traditional snack cooking classes, fruit picking, rice wine tasting and making, and trips to a dairy farm.
FUSO Homestay
FUSO stands for feelings up, stress down. In sum, this is a rural retreat experience. During the retreat, you will stay with a family and two to three other foreigners in the western rural area of Gangjin, Jeollanam-do.
The overnight trip is slow-paced and relaxing. It features strolls in the countryside and home cooked meals using garden-grown vegetables.
International Trips
Shortly before the pandemic, K-Tour08 offered international trips to neighboring countries, namely Japan. Once international travel opens back up again, K-Tour08 will be your best option for affordable travel to Japan!
