Seoul Trip 2016 and Chingu Story Private Tour Review

Hi Everyone

So excited to finally write again. The title tells about what this post will be right ? So let's start.

This is my 2nd visit to South Korea. The first time don't feel as challenging as this one as this time I went for 6 days on my own. I used Chingu Story private tour service for 2 days starting on my arrival. This is my first time arranging everything on my own, but excited at the same time. Before I got the deal with Chingu Story, I was thinking to do a research first about other people who already used their service, but turns out none on them have reviewed it. So here I am, the super satisfied customer let you know about how awesome this private tour is.


Many of you have question how this work, right ?

If you're using their regular tour service, then all you need to do is just to registered and pay. But it works differently in private tour.

  1. Pick your favourite destination. Please don't ask the price before you decide where to go, because it is like asking how much to a cashier when you haven't told them what you want to buy. My Tip is pick a destination that you find it hard for you to visit by your own for example something like Nami Island, Mount Sorak, or any other places outside Seoul. But again, it's up to you. Let them know too if you have any food preference that you're dying to try, because they can give you great recommendation. In my case it is authentic cheese rolled ribs.
  2. After you send out where you want to go, then they will email you with an itinerary also the cost per person. Usually the cost already include food and admission also public transportation, meaning for me those 2 days of their service, I don't need to spend any money, except for my shopping therapy. 
  3. Then the bargaining start. If you're happy with the price, you can continue to the next step. If you think you need to bargain, then do so. Please note that this is a private tour, which means you'll get a private service, so the cost obviously higher than regular tour package. Also I noticed that food in Korea is slightly more expensive than in Jakarta. But you know, you can always cut down some destination, or anything to make ends meet.
  4. After you get your best deal, then you can start the payment, they accept bank transfer so no worry at all. Then they'll meet you in Seoul


Beside tour service, they also provide virtual guide to other person who want to travel to Korea on their own. It is basically an e book which direct to any places you wanted to visit complete with subway direction, where to walk and so on. You can get it in a really affordable price or it is free for those person who use their service.

My experience with their service is really good. A lady came pick me up at the airport, then we use bus to our hotel, then everything goes smoothly as we plan. She is so kind, patient, and most importantly we can talk to each other like real friends. We only use public transportation here and it is really interesting as you can really see how local people act, and how all the woman are really pretty LOL. So next time you want to visit South Korea, you might start to think about using their service. Please visit their instagram account @chingu.story as all information of their contact available there.

WHERE TO STAY ??

I stay at 24 Guest House Myeongdong Centre. This hotel has so many franchise, so please make sure which branch you're staying at. I booked my hotel at my favourite hotel website which is Traveloka . This guest house is really the best i've ever seen with the price i purchased. Come and take a look. Believe me it is bigger than you thought. I stay there with my best friend and we still have some space to packed our luggage on the floor.





What to consider on choosing hotel / guest house in Korea :
- Elevator. Not all Korea guest house provide this. You might wanna consider this especially for me who really like to shop and carry "about to pop" luggage all the time.
- Water heater. Please really consider this except if you visiting Korea during summer.
- Subway Station. The closer your hotel with the subway station, the easier you go here and there. My guest house near to myeongdong station exit 9.
