I had the most amazing time. Daniel was so knowledgable and friendly and accommodating. We had long conversations about the history and details of each area and I managed to squeeE so much out of a short period of time. He was also very attentive in giving instructions and checking in and asking for my preferences. All together he made the tour worth while. Thank you so much, Daniel. I would recommend you anytime for patience, your attention to detail and for making the tour educational, exciting and fun

The room is large, affordable, and in a great location. The only downsides are that they only provide one room key, and you can't use other cards to keep the power on. It's a bit inconvenient when you have to go downstairs to pick up food deliveries.

Buying the Busan Pass is a great deal! There are quite a few attractions you can use it for, and it's very easy to use.

Brent did a great job showing all the Busan highlights. Plenty of time at each stop to do our own thing and have a good look around.

An incredible experience in Busan! We had an absolutely perfect day thanks to our guide, Sean. She was extremely warm, attentive, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience throughout the entire tour. Everything was very well organized and the day flowed smoothly. We were able to discover many places and learn a lot without ever feeling rushed, stressed, or tired. Sean and Cynthia truly created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It was a day that was both enriching, productive, and very pleasant. A huge thank you to Sean for her energy and kindness. We highly recommend this tour 100%
