|
|
Is there one that you recommend? I think I spoke to the Indian guy from KTS travel last time i went. He and the company seemed quite good.
Is there a better English speaking company in the area in terms of price/customer service ect ect???
Thanks for any leads! |

Unique Travel has great prices, but maybe not the best customer service as they may not deliver the Eticket immediately upon payment since they are buying booked seats at discount prices out of anticipation that are being canceled before a flight. |

Towards the Red Door from Coffee Bean or old Burger King on the corner at the subway stop. After leaving the Coffee Bean, it's a very short distance on the left side. Here's there website. http://www.uniquetravel.co.kr/ |

Whatever you do, if you find a Nigerian selling tickets, DO NOT under ANY circumstances give him money.
I heard ZED is back in town under a different name. Others can chime in about how much money he stole from them. |

Yes, watch out for those Nigerians and any dark skinned Koreans as well. |

Thanks for that helpful post Jeff, just to play devil�s advocate here maybe a dark skinned Korean guy/female has actually done a bit of travelling without trying to constantly keep themselves out of the sun!
That would maybe make an ideal travel agent to speak to who could give informed input as to where you/i might be going!
Obviously if you just blindly hand over money to any person without doing a bit of research you are asking for trouble however!
I find it ironic how so many westerners (esp pastey white brits) do their best to get a tan, whilst some Asians do their best to look white!!!
I am sure someone on this board can lend you there KKK hoodie next time you want to bash someone with dark skin!  |

Do becareful though with travel agents. There was a huge problem earlier this year down in Gwangju with a travel agent that ripped off a dozen or more teachers. |

I emailed every English(and many non-English speaking) travel agents for my last trip to Canada, and Zenith travel was a clear $300 cheaper than all the rest, plus gave me direct flights.

Coming from a confessed former kiddy-fiddler, it's hard to laugh along. |
