No escribas ni modifiques URLs: tu herramienta las rechazará; abre solo enlaces que aparezcan en las páginas. Para grupos más grandes que los listados, da el enlace "Book" de fecha y hora: el número de personas se elige en la página de Charmtour. La reserva y el pago se hacen en Charmtour tras iniciar sesión. Los precios están en KRW.
