Tipping
Tipping is neither expected nor required in Korea, but
it is appropriate for very good service. So in Korea
you don't have to tip in restaurants, hotels or even
in a taxi. Altought some
expensive restaurants and luxury hotels may add a service
charge of 10% to your bill. Thus,
you do not necessarily have to prepare for extra charges
since it will be included in the bill.
We follow the principle "tips are included",
but it is up to you if you want to thank our guides
at the end of an awesome trip, it is entirely at your
discretion.
Driving License
For driving in Korea
you need International Driver's license or Korean Driver's
license, no domestic foreign Driver's license is acceptable
at rent-a-car offices.
