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.

We had a great experience with our driver. Communication was excellent and he always responded quickly. He also recommended places to visit and restaurants to try which made our trip even better. Highly, highly recommended. We would definitely book with them again in the future!

Our Nami Island tour was a much-needed trip away from the city-scene! It was so nice for our family to enjoy the cable cars, rail bikes, and island trip away from crowds -- it was all so refreshing! Special shoutout for our tour guide, BOB!! He was so sweet and nice, and was such a highlight of our trip! He really helped us throughout the trip: he planned everything with our preferences in mind, communicated so kindly, gave us insider tips, and accommodated our schedules! He gave us such great recommendations ~ we had so much fun and highly recommend Bob as a tour guide!
It was really cool to experience the cable car with a glass floor, along with the scenery at the top. It's a manageable family-friendly hike with an impressive and rewarding view at the top. Our second experience, the rail bike, is an easy and enjoyable ride! Lastly, going to Nami Island was such a great way to interact with nature, animals, and history! Great experience, thanks to Bob!

Our driver Chaeyon Lee was the best❤️ She was very accomodating before the trip up until our drop off. She even booked our entrance fees beforehand and even call the restaurants to cook our meal to save some time. She also initiated to take our pictures. Will book this next time when we go back in Korea. Very recommended❤️✨

Our driver didn’t speak much English but he tried to point out places using Papago. Later, he realized that I could understand some Korean and communicated with me. We ran ahead of time so he offered to stop at an extra destination for cherry blossoms. He also drove through a very nice cherry blossom street twice so we could enjoy the view. He dropped us at the Anmok Coffee street as arranged I asked for a recommendation and the shop he recommended was indeed good! It was Bossanova Roasters. The staff at the tourist information spoke good English and helped to decide if we had enough time to cover the places we chose. Glad that this taxi tour service is still available in this area!

There was a small mishap at the start of my tour where the driver thought the drop off time was my pickup time but the staff at the tourist centre were very helpful in following everything up and had the driver to me in 15 minutes. My driver ended up being amazingly helpful, kind and tolerant of my want to take photos! He even brought out a drone to take shots of me, which turned out beautifully (attached photos weren’t edited by me at all!)!! Would definitely book this again. Also, the tour starts at the perfect time—by the time you get to the bus stop, the lighting is great and there’s barely anyone there so you can take your time with photos. Just beware though that the driver may only take you to all of the stops if you ask for it. He only took me to two off the top of his head (I had to ask to go the the cafe street).

Seamless booking and I received the confirmation email with the ticket right away. It’s better to buy on Klook as you can buy the tickets a month before the trip, save you some stress, and earn some KlookCash! Furthermore I got some mobile vouchers for free (Olive Young/Shinsegae)
