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👍

Mike was great! We changed the itinerary the same day and he had no issues with it. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and guide us through them. Even changed the drop off location so we could do something else on Seoul before the end of the day, and he was happy to do it. It was a great day, totally recommend it. If you are leaving from Seoul, be ready for a long drive. But its really worth it; Pohang is beautiful.

We had a great time with this tour. Jack, our tour guide, communicated a few days before the tour and asked us what we wanted as itinerary. He arrived on time on the day, he was a good driver, and he took care of us well. He made sure that my husband and I were comfortable the whole time. My husband and I are so happy we availed of this private tour. Thanks again, Jack!

Highly recommended! Our driver was professional, reliable, and accommodating. He even recommended good place for lunch! We shared the places we wanted to visit, and he made it all happen smoothly. We even extended our trip a little to explore more of Pohang. There’s so much to see in the area, and having a private driver really saved us time and made everything more convenient.

It’s really far from Seoul to Pohang, and I’m very grateful that this tour allows us to travel back and forth efficiently on the same day. The Korean guide Jack speaks very good Chinese, so there was no problem with communication. He also helped us take photos along the way and took us to the places we wanted to go. It was a very pleasant journey!

Three hundred dollars chartered car round trip Pohang price is reasonable followed by other services are all free to you ga!! It turns out that after dinner at the catering table to leave immediately 2 Mingxian Island repair canceled not to go, the same area town beach did not go (like point 1 said the same is actually for eating, so not buried) finally thought there are 6 attractions photography sightseeing, in fact 4, then minus the cancellation we went to three places are the words three hundred dollars to say buy transportation is no service

I went on the Pohang day tour today with my husband and two daughters. We had originally planned on staying one night in Pohang and using local transit to visit points of interest. Then I checked out Klook and discovered this private day tour. It worked out really well and we are happy with our decision. Bruce was our driver and guide. He spoke some English and used a translation app to communicate more information when needed. I told him the places we wanted to see and he planned a route that would work for the day. We were picked up in Busan at our hotel. Our itinerary included: Homigot Sunrise Square, Hometown Cha Cha filming sites (Chief Hong’s boat and Yoon Dental Clinic), Space Walk and Ighari Anchor Observatory. We made good time and Bruce was able to squeeze in a very brief visit to Gongjin Market (Hometown Cha Cha Cha) and Wolpo Beach. What a lovely way to end our tour at the beach… we dipped our feet into the water to cool off. We went on a Monday so many of the places were not crowded. Many of the sites are far apart and I think it would have been stressful to do this on our own (especially with two kids). Bruce was great, his van was comfortable, and he took photos and videos throughout the day for us as well. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Bruce for a memorable time. (Side note: If you plan on visiting Chief Hong’s boat be prepared to walk up several steps to get to the top of the hill!)
