Traveller Tips

I would highly recommend the tour and, for the English-speaking Americans, you couldn't have a better tour guide than Steve.

If you’re thinking of joining this tour, I would strongly recommend as your cover a lot in a day and also get to learn some history.

If you are like us and have just a short stay in Busan, this tour is excellent and I strongly suggest you consider it and ask for Beth to lead the tour.

Very efficient tour with a knowledgeable and personable guide (Steve). There were a couple spots that felt a bit rushed but overall good tour!

Wonderful!

Brenton_D, May 2023

Such a great visit to Busan. I can’t believe how much I saw. All was well communicated beforehand and during. I really appreciate the knowledge of every spot we went (plus the local perspective on everything). I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.

Exceeded my expectations

Samantha_P, May 2023

Steve and Chris were great!!! There was one couple in addition to myself so it pleasurable to tour Busan in a small group. The tour was very prompt, organized and it NEVER felt rushed!! I’ve had my share of tours in other countries and I always felt rushed. Lunch was great and as a group we picked a place based on their suggestions. Highly recommend!!!

A fun and memorable tour

Joo_L, Apr 2023

Steve was amazing! It was a very fun and memorable tour of Busan. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends.

Recommended tourist destinations, a delicious lunch, a fun guide and a comfortable car ride.

Vicka_D, Apr 2023

A very fun tour with Steve! At each destination we got enough free time, a lot of interesting information, kind attitude from the guide (and also very funny). The lunch was the most worthwhile part because it felt very experiential and steve even cooked the meat for us. Recommended tour🌟✌🏻

Zip around Busan!

Alan_T, Apr 2023

If you want an energetic tour around the famous sites, ask for Steve, a local with a slight Texan accent. He is informative and even hilarious at times.

Busan Tour

apkennelly, Apr 2023

Communication was excellent and Steve was a fabulous guide. He provided plenty of information about the locations visited as well as Busan and South Korea in general. The Korean BBQ was delicious. We visited many places however we never felt rushed. We would highly recommend this great tour of Busan.

Very lovely tour!

Ellen_B, Apr 2023

Guide Steve was wonderful. He kept us on schedule, yet we didn’t feel rushed. We so appreciated the bus experience and particularly enjoyed the lunch in the private dining area.

STEVE. Is. The. Man.

RommelPaolo_S, Apr 2023

The most memorable part of the experience was having STEVE as our guide! He told us great stories behind the places we visited all with his unmistakable sense of humour!

Great tour with a charasmitic tour guide

Thomas_K, Apr 2023

Our guide, Steve, was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He also spoke perfect English which made everything easy to understand. The tour was a great overview of Busan, including cultural sites, observatories, and food locations. We highly recommend it.

Amazing Experience

Chris_R, Nov 2022

My wife and I were in Korea for our honeymoon. We visited both Seoul and Busan. We knew we wanted to book a tour for Busan to see as much as possible during our short stay in the city. We are so happy we booked this one! Steve was an amazing guide! We were very lucky that our tour was only the two of us with Steve as our driver. We saw so many spots during the tour. For each Steve provided information and then let us explore on our own. It was so much fun. The Korean BBQ lunch was delicious as well. Steve also tailored the tour to our preference by asking if we wanted to see the cable car versus the temple. Overall, the tour is the best value because it allows you to see all the different areas of Busan and several main attractions. 100% recommend!

Recommend!

CHRISTOPHER_M, Nov 2022

An amazing experience with our guide Helena! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very flexible for the entire day.

Amazing views

Tia_S, Oct 2022

Steve was amazing and also very knowledgeable. I knew the places I waited to see during my visit, but didn’t know how to see them all. Thanks for an amazing tour and a lot of laughs.

Fun day trip to Busan from Seoul

Sarah_W, Oct 2022

Tour guide Steve was so responsive from day 1 when I booked the tour. I required a special pick up from Busan station and he immediately offered without me asking. We managed to visit 5 places in a breeze. For those who only wants to take a day trip to Busan, my experience shows it’s doable!

Insightful and enjoyable

joshua_c, Aug 2022

This tour was very informative and enjoyable I got a lot of it useful facts and info on the city and all the questions I had where all answered and helped to paint a better image of the city. It was also helpful to put the city into perspective on where things where and the significance of certain parts of the city has to it history. I enjoyed my time with this experience.

Great experience with Steve

Joann_S, July 2022

We covered a lot in the given time. Steve was super funny which made it more fun. He knew a lot of extra interesting facts. He was great about taking pictures for us. There was one temple closed so he made a nice last minute adjustment so we could see another one.

Fast Fun Knowledge

Jack_W, June 2022

Steve got us up close and personal with everything skipping the walks and lines. It was amazing and he was very knowledgeable about busan as a whole

Great tour!

Colleen_B, June 2022

We had a great time on this tour and our tour guide Steve was a lot of fun! He picked us up at the place we were staying and did a great job of showing us the sights listed and explained a lot of the history and background of each. For lunch he took us to the restaurant of a famous chef here in Korea and it was one of the best meals we’ve had on our entire trip! We would definitely recommend this tour, it was one of our favorites!

Open markets are always...

Justin_N, Apr 2022

Open markets are always fun/interesting/“cultural”-enjoyed the Gamcheon Village character. Steve made our tour enjoyable with his wit and knowledge; and we were able to enjoy and learn about many other attractions on our short trip to Busan because of Steve-we would surely recommend him as the guide!
