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.

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. ❤️

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!

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!

Most hotels in Busan only allow check-in after 5 PM. We arrived at Busan Airport at 7 AM after taking a midnight flight, so we had to think of activities to do in the city before checking into our hotel. That's how we found Centum City SpaLand. We bought tickets online and decided to relax there first. This place is located inside a large shopping mall, right next to a city subway station, and has its own separate entrance (remember to look for the independent entrance; don't try to enter through the mall, as it only opens at 11 AM). Inside, there are separate areas for men and women, with pools of various temperatures. If you're interested, you can try the 'ice and fire' experience to relax your tired body. There are also many sauna-like rooms, including rock salt rooms and ice rooms, where you can sit or lie down as you please – there's definitely a room for everyone. Other amenities include a snack area, a large relaxation area where you can surf the internet and watch TV, and, most uniquely, a restaurant that offers DIY ramen. For one price, you can choose a packet of instant noodles from many varieties, and they provide a noodle cooker, side dishes (kimchi, bean sprouts, sausages, cheese, etc.), and seasonings. Guests can cook their own ramen, and once finished, it tastes a bit like Korean army stew – very interesting! We spent several hours here. It was our first 'attraction' and first experience in Busan. The admission and expenses were not high, so we highly recommend giving it a try!

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.
