An absolute must experience to do when in Busan. I joined this tour after reading so many great reviews particularly of how satisfied they were with our Guide, David. He said he loves his job hence he takes care all of his customers very well and I totally agree because he also knows what he's doing to create such an appealing evening tour showcasing some of the beautiful parts of Busan.

I had a great experience on this Geumjeongsan hiking tour and would definitely recommend it! I’m glad that the tour still went ahead even though I was the only participant that day. The hike was manageable overall, with a few steeper sections (great workout!). The views from the guard posts were absolutely breathtaking, and from the top you get an amazing bird’s-eye view of Busan. Lunch was also a treat — the bibim naengmyeon was delicious and hit the spot after the hike. The highlight of the tour was definitely the guide, Doyour. He was super chill, engaging, and easy to talk to. It was nice meeting someone my age — a "chinggu" as they say in Korea! He made what could have been a tiring solo hike feel fun, relaxed, and memorable. Thanks for a wonderful day in Busan!

Ryu is the best guide! He messaged us before the trip to introduce himself, which was a great way to start. Throughout the whole trip, he made sure to drive safely and comfortably. He clearly explained and shared interesting information about every place we visited. What we appreciated most was that he never rushed us and always gave us enough time to enjoy each destination at our own pace. We even ended up extending the trip for a few extra minutes, and Ryu was kind enough to drop us off at a train station near our hotel, which was very convenient. This trip with Ryu was definitely worth it! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a safe, knowledgeable, and considerate guide. ❤️

Was a fun night and a nice nighttime hike. It does have amazing views at night and the trails in the mountains are well lit with paths that are not that hard to traverse. We went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't very crowded but you can still tell its a popular attraction. One of the main advantages of this tour i think is that getting to and fron this place can be difficult from what I saw and the guide takes care of the hardest logistical part. The guide was also very friendly and accommodating. When we arrived there were a lot of people waiting for a taxi to leave as the starting point doesn't have much space for parking. After going to the 3 main locations and taking a buch of photos and videos we capped off the night by making a quick stop to Gwangalli beach, which is also very beautiful at night. especially the view of the bridge. Overall I would recommend it as it was a good time with some memorable moments and breathtaking views.

We completed our tour with Kay today and she is very caring and attentive to our family during the entire trip. She was on time, communicative, friendly and warm, and informative. Even after she dropped us off for dinner, she ensure that we are in good hands and remain satisfied. She took care of us and our baby like her own family. We will always remember our trip with her. Irene is also very communicative since I booked the trip. She always keep me updated of anything that needs attention or confirmation of the plan. Honestly all and all this tour is well organized and highly recommend this for your next busan trip!

Very worthy especially if you wanted to enjoy paid attractions in Busan! But 48H pass may not be as suitable for those of you who travel with kids or elderlies, instead BIG3 or BIG5 pass may be a better option if you prefer flexible timing and prefer to spend more hours on certain attractions. For my spouse and I, we managed to visit 8 places within 48 hours! Our favourites are: Skyline Luge, Spaland Centrum City, ClubD Oasis Spa, Songdo Marine Cable Car (Busan Air Cruise). Remember to install Visit Busan Pass app in your phone and register your pass for better tracking and take note on time remaining.
