Wingwing was a very good tour guide! Even if she lost her voice slightly, she did her best to explain to us the stories behind the different sights we visited. The tour itself was well planned and was enough to see the beauty of Busan. Busan was very different compared to Seoul but equally as beautiful. Highly recommended tour!

One of the best experiences I've had in south korea by far. Heeyoung, the chef and the host of the workshop was super nice, and besides her great English, she also taught us so much and really explained all we wanted to know about korean cuisine. She also makes everything from scratch by herself. The food was great and diverse and the place where the workshop took place is clean and really pleasant. After eating, Heeyoung took us to one of the local markets on the area and we got to experience another side fo the Korean cuisine. Overall great experience, I recommend it very much, 10/10

Lucy was a great tour guide! You can see the passion and effort she gives during the whole tour. She is articulate and well equipped with knowledge which I enjoyed. But what I really loved about the whole experience was the food we tried- it was affordable yet very scrumptious. She’s not only a tour guide but also a food connoisseur!!

The tour guide Sunny is very friendly, the introduction of the attractions is very good, and he will arrange meals and order food. The itinerary time is also very good, but the five six islands are a bit boring. It would be better if more time could be arranged in the white shallow beach and Gancun Cultural Village.

The tour guide was very good at explaining. The group I joined had ten people. The special car was very convenient. It was a small group worth joining. It was a very fulfilling day from morning to night.

We planned the itinerary and communicated with the driver in advance. The driver drove according to our requirements and made the most of the required attractions in eight hours. Nice day trip.

The tour guide contacted us via WhatsApp the day before to confirm our pick-up location near our hotel. The English-speaking guide was helpful. The bus was full on a Monday, but it was still an enjoyable experience. Busan is beautiful, and I will visit again.
