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.

Convenient way to book KTX Train from Busan to Seoul and vice versa. Very spacious especially car/coach #8 for families. Leg room is spacious, there are some areas with outlets for charging gadgets. Toilets are available as well. Luggage storage is available in between cars/coaches and also on top of the seats for smaller bags/handcarry luggages. Seats can be pre-selected tickets need not be printed.

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.

We had an amazing time with our driving guide Michael! He is such a knowledgeable, fun, and energetic guide. He really went above and beyond to make our trip special and showed us so many beautiful spots. If you're looking for a stress-free and enjoyable tour, I highly recommend booking with Michael. Thank you for everything!
