BUSAN X the SKY

Easy to use Klook ticket and we were able to book it on the same day! The views from Busan X the Sky were amazing. I recommend coming early when it opens or around midday so you have more time to enjoy the place, especially if you want to stay longer at the Starbucks on the highest floor. Definitely worth a visit! so many korean starbucks exclusive merch and lots of kpop merch!

Be sure to finalize your itinerary first and confirm which attractions you will actually visit to see if the total cost exceeds 85,000 KRW, making it worth buying the pass. Because our itinerary wasn't planned out until right before departure, I kept hesitating on whether to get the pass. In the end, we decided to have seafood at Gijang, so for the daytime, we arranged to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple (free), then walked over to ride the luge (1), and walked to Lotte World Adventure Busan (2) while browsing the Lotte Department Store. All of these are nearby. Just the admission fee for the theme park for this day, plus the luge, and Spa Land (3) inside Shinsegae Department Store on the second day already exceeded 85,000 KRW. Even though we only used it for these three spots, it was still a great deal. PS: Remember to go on a non-holiday in South Korea, otherwise many places will have huge lines just from waiting. We planned our attractions for a Monday and Tuesday; the amusement park had very few people, and the spa land wasn't crowded either.

we had a wonderful time with Jamie! the whole day was very nicely paced and all explanations very clear! we also ate in a great seafood place. i would highly recommend this tour if you are planning to do sightseeing of major areas in Busan. having a bus helped a lot! thank you Jamie ! my sister and I loved it.

I can't recommend this highly enough. A solid day, a solid location and a solid guide! Joy was exactly that!! An absolute joy to be in her company. Her humor, local knowledge, expertise and willingness to be our photographer on the day made it even more worthwhile and memorable. Joy was so kind, accomodating and patient - even when our young (4yrs & 6yrs) kids became a little testing towards the end of the tour. Nothing was a problem for her. A guide can generally make or break an experience and Joy definitely made it!! You won't be disappointed. A must do whilst in Busan.

The tour was what I expected and more! The itinerary had a good flow and didn't feel rushed at all. Our guide, Tomy, was very responsive even before the trip. To make good use of everyone's time, Tomy provided us with an overview of each place we're going to as bus starts rolling. He would also do his best to answer our questions and provide more information about the place we were in. Our advanced order (via forms) was also extra thoughtful. By the time we got to the restaurant, our meals were served in no time. Over all, I really had a great time in this tour -- recommended for solo travelers (like me) joining a group tour!

Before going to Korea, an acquaintance told me that if I were going to Busan, I should definitely take the time to visit Gyeongju. Combined with how stunning the night view photos looked, I decided to join the tour as a solo female traveler. After reading the reviews, I noticed that groups were sometimes split into Japanese, English, and Chinese speakers, which made me a bit nervous about the atmosphere. However, since everyone wrote that it was a tour worth more than its price, I took the plunge and signed up. When I actually got there, it turned out to be a tour of 23 people, all Japanese! At first, everyone was scattered and quiet, but our guide, Mr. Han, did a wonderful job getting everyone to open up, and before we knew it, a strong sense of camaraderie formed. Gyeongju is inconvenient to visit on your own, and with a short itinerary, the value for money isn't great. But with this tour, the bus was a very large and impressive limousine bus. Since traffic in Korea drives on the opposite side from Japan, the roads are narrow, and people drive aggressively, I wouldn't even consider renting a car. I joined knowing nothing about the history, but the guide's explanations were very clear and engaging. Even if you're worried about your physical fitness due to the heat and lots of stairs, they give you free time and options, so I think you can participate with peace of mind without overdoing it. Just in case anyone got lost, they made sure we could stay in touch via LINE. Anyone can take amazing photos here, and the guide even showed us the best photo spots and took pictures for us, so I was so happy to have many memories captured even though I was traveling alone. They also gave us plenty of time for restroom breaks. I made friends, and by the time we headed back, we felt like a real group! It was truly a fun day, and I wasn't tired at all. I believe Mr. Han's wonderful personality brought smiles to everyone's faces. Thank you so much, Mr. Han and our driver, for such a long and wonderful day.

Our guide (Mr. Kim) is punctual, efficient and considerate. He even help us to double check whether the place that we plan to go is open during rainy day. He also recommend good food and willing to share it's location to us. He make sure we fully utilise the time to explore as much places as possible other than the requested itinerary. Would like to engage his service again.

10/10 recommend!! This was by far one of my favorite experiences during my two week stay in South Korea. Jesse showed our tiny group all around the best places in Busan and even shared some of it’s history with us all while being an incredible photographer helping us pose just right to capture the best memories. Don’t even think about it, just book. Extremely fast turnaround time in the photos as well! Thank you for such an unforgettable day in Busan!!

Great experience. You are able to see the main attractions in one day. Our guide Kim was very helpful and informative.
