We visited the main historical sites with our English-speaking tour guide, Ted. He was a great guide who explained everything very well and told us what makes Busan special. Ted was also very patient with us throughout the tour. The lunch was excellent, and the places we saw were wonderful.

The tour guide Vincent was very responsible. He notified the group of participants the day before the event and arrived early on the day. The Haeundae capsule train is very suitable for adults and children to participate. The tour guide explained the history at each scenic spot.
