Ride Away Korea – All Possible Riding Options!

Some of the Most Efficient Ways to Travel Korea

Tour Buses and Cable Car Rides

When you have a month to explore Korea, you might want to do your own search and visit wherever you feel like that day. However, when you only have a couple of days or a week, you want to take a full advantage of the limited time. That’s when a tour program comes very handy! We’ve gathered up 6 possible ways to tour around one of Korea’s most beautiful city, Daegu.

Daegu City Tour is probably most known to tourists partly for its bright red bus. Especially, the red double-decker ride is also popular among locals! There are mainly two types of tours available for you: urban course and themed courses. Those two courses run slightly different, so make sure you read thoroughly!
