Before you book
Is the Guaranteed Return - Yeosu Shore Excursion for Cruise Guests worth it from the Yeosu cruise port?
The one Yeosu listing written for cruise guests: a shared 8-hour coach day to Hyangiram, Jinnamgwan, Yi Sun-sin Square and the markets. Best for: Passengers who want Hyangiram and the old town without arranging a taxi for the long Dolsan drive.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?
About 10 hours. The tour runs 8 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. 480 minutes plus 90 minutes is 9.5 hours, and it starts in the terminal, so no travel is added. That is half an hour over the 9-hour Westerdam call. The record says the day is adjusted to the ship's arrival and departure times, so confirm the shortened plan in writing.
Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?
The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. The operator may cancel for bad weather, with a refund.
