Our guide and driver is Johnny. He speaks good English and Chinese language. It's only 7 of us in the tour so we used a van. We had a great time in Pohang/ Ulsan. First, we went to Spacewalk. It's quite a lot of step in here but we're enjoy it here. It's like a rollercoaster walk. After we had a break to have lunch. We had Jampong seafood which is delicious. Second we went to Homigot where we see the hand statue in the Seaside. And the last one we went to Fe01 where there is a lot of statue art work made from recycle part of car steel. It's like a maze in here. Overall is quite a good trip. Thanks Johnny for taking a lot of pictures for us.

We saw Spacewalk in a couple of Kdramas so we had to visit on our trip to Korea. This is the only tour that seems to go here, so we had to try it. It was soooooo hot during our trip, but the experience was still great. Our guide, Nimo, didn’t speak English (Korean and Mandarin) but used WhatsApp and Papago to translate so it was fine. She took great pictures for us and recommended the BEST gyukatsu (grilled beef patties) for lunch. Spacewalk was just as exciting as we hoped. The Hands of Harmony at Homigot was another good kdrama fan stop! The Fe01 junk art exhibit was wonderful and unique stop we wouldn’t have known about. Nimo is a great driver, friendly, accommodating and did her best to help us enjoy our trip.

We had a wonderful day, the tour was well-organized and efficient. The bus was comfortable, and the group was small. All three places we visited in Pohang were interesting and even exceeded our expectations. The tour description mentioned that the guide would only speak Chinese, but we were accompanied by Johnny 배호성, who spoke excellent English. He provided us with information about the places we visited as well as many interesting facts about the cities and landmarks we passed along the way.

Experience the suburbs of Busan. Fortunately, I bought a one-day pass from Klook, because it takes 2 hours to get there by car from downtown Busan. Our tour guide Nimo was also very responsible in explaining the attractions. The most important thing is that he is very good at taking pictures and guiding the posing. Although there are only 3 spots, it is also good to experience the attractions of Ulsan and Pohang in a short time👍
