Our method
The team checks every address in your itinerary: on the spot in Seoul and its region, by phone in Korean elsewhere. We note the date of the check and we check again after twelve months.
Every address carries the date it was checked
In your itinerary and your handbook, each address shows the month the team checked it, on the spot or by phone in Korean. After twelve months, we check it again before you leave.
In Korean, dangol (단골) means the regular: the customer people recognise when they walk in. You write to us in English or French, we speak Korean with the venues.

Lucas helped us a great deal to check our itinerary for our first family trip to Asia. On top of that, the on-site assistance took a big source of stress off our shoulders, and we discovered a fantastic country. Thank you!
We wanted to plan a two-week trip for our wedding anniversary without going through an agency, and the Dangol team made our trip truly special. We wanted to visit several cities while staying free to adapt to what we felt like along the way. I recommend Dangol to everyone.
