5Busan - Gyeongju tour with Jake
Jake was a phenomenal tour guide. He made the pickup seamless and was extremely informative on all of the information provided regarding all of our tour stops. He gave us lots of insight on the history and culture and made the day tour a very fun experience.
5Amazing tour
If you can get Art as a guide, please do. He’s a local but went to school in Texas so he’s very fluent in English AND he has a nice car. Very flexible with plans and was very happy to help with accommodating my mobility issues. We were totally impressed with Busan. It’s a not to miss. Don’t forget to purchase Korean skin care.
5Smooth communication, great value, excellent tour guide !!
Our guide Jina was very knowledgeable, kind, and funny! She took us to a great place for lunch in Songdo that felt very local and not at all touristy. She said she had only gone there with family and friends in the past. Super fresh and the best seafood meal we had between Seoul, Jeju, and Busan. The tour was great. In particular, we loved learning about Gamcheon Village and the tour operator was able to secure Sky Capsule tickets even though we only gave a few days notice and tickets were definitely sold out online for weeks. Communication was great and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend! We had a lot of fun!
5Fantastic tour!!
It was an amazing experience! Celine our guide is the sweetest girl, she explained us really well about the dishes, the market history, the culture, etc. and we had very delicious tastings! I can't recommend enough this tour, it was worth every penny and we ended up really full and happy. Highly recommend!
5A short but memorable day in Busan
Our guide Cooper showed us three of the most popular venues in Busan in only a few hours as our port call was shorter than we wished. He shared with us important historical perspectives and educated us on Korean cultural and Busan history and its role in the 20th century. He was very polite and engaging. Keeping track of all 5 of us as we each travelled at our own pace so it was not an easy task. Cooper made our visit rewarding and fun.
5Interesting visit to Busan
Grace was an excellent guide. We visited the beautiful Haedongyonggungsa seaside temple and rode the Sky Capsule. She spoke English very well and has good knowledge of the area.

About Busan
Busan is South Korea's second city and biggest port, with beaches, hillside villages, temples by the sea and a huge fish market.
Busan lies at the south-east tip of the Korean peninsula, a port city squeezed between mountains and the sea. Haeundae Beach and Gwangalli Beach, backed by high-rise towers, are its best-known stretches of sand. Gamcheon Culture Village, a hillside of colourful stepped houses, was settled by refugees during the Korean War, and the UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea honours soldiers who died in that conflict.
Top-ranked sights in Busan: Gamcheon Culture Village, Jagalchi Fish Market, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple.
