Busan

It was a very interesting one-day trip to Busan. I heard that it's usually impossible to book tickets for the popular seaside capsule train on your own; you typically need to book one or two months in advance. The ocean view at Haeundae is truly beautiful, especially on a clear day. For the afternoon itinerary, I had delicious ice cream at Huinnyeoul Culture Village and a black sesame latte at Having Moment. Although the black sesame was a bit rich and I prefer lighter flavors, this one was still quite good. The Gamcheon Culture Village itinerary was also surprisingly wonderful; I really loved the Little Prince theme. My travel companion, a Taiwanese lady, and I even tracked down a Korean hand-drawn portrait studio and had a remarkably lifelike portrait drawn. Korea's cultural and creative industries are indeed very cutting-edge, and a portrait only cost 7,000 won and came with two postcards, haha. Finally, I want to praise our beautiful, gentle, and kind tour guide, Mina, who organized our day so that it was orderly, free, and joyful. Perfect!

Everything was perfect. The excursion was comprehensive and allowed enough time to visit the different locations. Joseph, our guide, was more than perfect, taking photos of us with our phones and others with his own, then sending them to us via WhatsApp afterward. He was incredibly attentive throughout the entire tour. Thank you again for this wonderful day, which was truly a feast for our eyes. Keep up the great work, you're the best!

Writing Dino was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting insights about each location and kept the group engaged throughout the day. The only challenge was finding the Busan meeting point at the beginning. Clearer directions or more detailed instructions would make the experience even better. Once the tour started, everything was well organized, and I had a great time. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Dino as the guide.

Jonas was amazing and informative. Very knowledgeable, great tour. Would highly recommend. Jonas explained the history very well, he was thoughtful and remembered everyone’s names too. Also thanks for taking our pictures at great spots.

we had an amazing experience with Hun! he was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable with all of Busan! it was a well rounded trip that was so convenient as he picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the end! he even shared some of his favourite spots with us that he recommends we try that was near or around our hotel! I truly wouldn’t have even known where to start and how to arrive at all the places he showed us as many of the main attractions and tourist destinations are far apart from each other, so it was truly special that we got to experience these beautiful places and have some background about each one! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU’RE VISITING BUSAN! just make sure to wear proper footwear as there will be some hiking involved (the bamboo forest) and in the villages, the roads are steep! I recommend you get lost in the different alleys! it was awesome! also we travelled with our toddler, we brought a stroller? but did not use, however you’ll have to carry them a lot!

Our six-stop tour of Gyeongju was an absolute highlight of my solo travels and it is thanks to our exceptional guide, Joe. From the very first location, Joe brought an incredible level of professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine warmth that made the entire day unforgettable. He brought the city's rich history to life with his deep knowledge, pacing our visits across all six sites perfectly so we never felt rushed. What truly set Joe also has an amazing eye for finding the absolute best angles for pictures, and he proactively volunteered to take photos of me before I could even ask, which I truly appreciate as a solo traveler. Joe’s energetic guidance and kind demeanor transformed a simple sightseeing trip into a deeply memorable experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I especially appreciated how he often reminded us that "Time is gold," a statement I couldn't agree with more :)

The whole trip was incredible and kids friendly. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. The transport was smooth, safe and organized. All the places was phenomenal, captures the charm and traditional atmosphere. Highly recommend this tour to everyone including kids/family. An unforgettable journey.

দু'রকমের ট্যুরে (সেল্ফ-গাইডেড বনাম গাইডেড) অংশ নেওয়ার পর আমি সত্যি বলতে পারি যে স্টিভেন গাইডেড ট্যুরকে আমার কাছে অনেক বেশি ভালো করে তুলেছেন! আমরা ইতিমধ্যেই মুগ্ধ হয়েছিলাম যে তিনি একজন ড্রাইভার এবং ইংরেজি গাইড, কিন্তু তিনি অনর্গল ম্যান্ডারিনও বলতে পারেন, যা খুবই চিত্তাকর্ষক। আমি আশা করি তিনি তিনজনের কাজ করার জন্য বেতন পান! তিনি যে সব জায়গায় আমরা গিয়েছিলাম সে সম্পর্কে খুব জ্ঞানী ছিলেন এবং আমরা জিজ্ঞাসা করলে সবসময় আরও তথ্য দিতেন। এই ট্যুরে স্টিভেনের মাধ্যমে আমরা কোরিয়ান ইতিহাস সম্পর্কে আরও অনেক কিছু জানতে পেরেছি, যা অন্যথায় হয়তো আমরা এতটা উপভোগ করতাম না। উন্নতির জন্য (এখানে খুঁত ধরছি), যদিও আমি পিক-আপ পরিষেবা পছন্দ করেছি, কিন্তু যেহেতু আমরাই প্রথম পিক-আপ হয়েছিলাম, তাই বুসান থেকে বের হতে পারার আগে এটি কিছুটা দীর্ঘ মনে হয়েছিল। তবে এটি আমাদের জন্য খুব বড় সমস্যা ছিল না, হয়তো একটু আগে শুরু করার কথা বিবেচনা করা যেতে পারে যাতে আমরা শেষে তাড়াহুড়ো না করে ফিরে আসতে পারি! যাই হোক, ট্যুরের জন্য অনেক ধন্যবাদ, এটি সুপারিশ করব!

We were 4 people on this day tour. We went with Robin, a Busan local, who spoke very good English and was kind and accommodating. The meetup point was easy to find and the pace of the tour was perfect. It was well organised. We enjoyed our day out seeing the Busan.
