Good experience riding the KTX train to Busan. Booked earlier for seat reservation. No need for physical ticket exchange - all via online using their Korail App.

Suwon through Klook and the whole process was incredibly seamless. The train we got for this leg felt like a first-class experience—the seats were very spacious, and it even had charging slots right at the chair, which was perfect for topping up our phones. It left exactly on time and got us to Suwon in just 24 minutes. Highly recommend booking through Klook to skip the ticketing hassle at the station!

Michael was an outstanding tour guide! He was punctual, well-organized, and communicated clearly before the tour, making it easy to find the meeting point. Throughout the day, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting information about each destination. The itinerary was well planned, and we had enough time to enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. Michael was also attentive to the group’s needs, ensuring everyone was comfortable and on schedule. The transportation was clean and comfortable, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend Michael to anyone visiting Korea and looking for a memorable and hassle-free day tour. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

It turns out Klook offers a restaurant reservation service, and the service fee is acceptable. Most restaurants in Busan only accept phone reservations, and online reservations only accept Korean phone numbers. So, if you have a favorite restaurant in mind, this service is quite useful. Klook will make the reservation using the user's name.
