We took a day trip to Pohang from Busan and covered homigot, japanese street, space walk, jukdo market and tongdosa temple. Our guide Mr Park Jeong was very friendly and had so much information about everything. He took us around all the places. Highly recommend this trip. Mr Park was so nice that he got us some local Korean food similar to donuts as we are vegetarians and couldn't bear the strong smell in the market so we didn't enter that area. Just a suggestion - if we had more time to explore space walk, it would be great. We just had 1 hour to explore space walk.

I've always wanted to visit the Pohang Space Walk and see Homigot's "Hands of Harmony." Figuring out transportation on my own was a hassle, so I was happy to find this tour from Busan to Pohang's popular attractions. I could sightsee after getting off the bus and sleep on the way back. I'm very grateful for our guide, Mr. Park, for his attentive care throughout the day. Although the tour was in English, Mr. Park also used a translation app to take care of Chinese-speaking tourists, so there's no need to worry about not understanding. I highly recommend this tour for tourists who aren't fluent in English! Lunch will be at the fish market.

Enjoyed the small group size, around 10 people, simple and efficient. Finally conquered the Sky Walk, a very thrilling experience. Our guide, Mr. Park, took us to Jukdo Island for seafood. The Korean specialty, "daege" (crab), was delicious and we even got a discount, thanks to his great recommendations. Itinerary Arrangement: Tour Guide:

Thank you, Mr. Park, for the friendly and kind tour today. Although it was raining at the first stop, Homigot Sunrise Square, it didn't dampen our spirits. Afterwards, we visited the "When the Camellia Blooms" drama filming location at Guryongpo Japanese House Street. After the weather cleared up, we arrived at the Space Walk, the most anticipated and exciting part of the itinerary. This is a new attraction in recent years, and the walkway is the highest point here. Being able to see the entire beautiful sea view is worth recommending as a free attraction. Then we went to Jukdo Market for a meal, and then visited Dongdosa Temple. Today, Saturday, there was a Chinese opera performance at Dongdosa Temple, with traditional snacks and refreshments available to taste. I didn't feel much when I watched the "Jeongnyeon" Chinese opera performance before, but I didn't realize how amazing Chinese opera was until I heard it with my own ears. This itinerary reduces the hassle of transportation, and there is plenty of time to stop at each attraction. I have already recommended it to friends who plan to travel to Korea.
