Michael was an outstanding tour guide! He was punctual, well-organized, and communicated clearly before the tour, making it easy to find the meeting point. Throughout the day, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting information about each destination.
The itinerary was well planned, and we had enough time to enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. Michael was also attentive to the group’s needs, ensuring everyone was comfortable and on schedule.
The transportation was clean and comfortable, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend Michael to anyone visiting Korea and looking for a memorable and hassle-free day tour. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

Good experience riding the KTX train to Busan. Booked earlier for seat reservation. No need for physical ticket exchange - all via online using their Korail App.

Seoul Station was very easy to navigate. It wasn’t overwhelming, congested, or confusing at all. The signs were clear and easy to read, making it simple to find the departure time, platform, train, and cart information. Everything was well organized and easy to understand, which made getting around the station a smooth and stress-free experience.

Overall, it was okay, but the biggest issue was that the bathroom floor would get soaked every time we used the sink and shower in the room. It seems like the drainage was improperly installed.

The hotel is clean, modern, and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. It’s close to the metro, making it easy to get to Daejeon Station for the KTX, and there’s also a CU convenience store nearby. I also loved the 1 PM check-out time. Overall, a very convenient and comfortable stay!

It turns out Klook offers a restaurant reservation service, and the service fee is acceptable. Most restaurants in Busan only accept phone reservations, and online reservations only accept Korean phone numbers. So, if you have a favorite restaurant in mind, this service is quite useful. Klook will make the reservation using the user's name.

Quick facts about Daejeon
General info
What to know before visiting Daejeon
What to expect in Daejeon
Daejeon is a compact city where theme parks, zoos & aquariums, and guided tours dominate Klook bookings, giving the year a distinct seasonal rhythm. Demand spikes sharply in July, while winter and early-spring months see much lighter visitor numbers. Popular family-friendly attractions and outdoor experiences drive the busiest periods.
Best times to visit and price trends
Klook booking data shows July as the clear peak month for demand, while February and several autumn months record the lowest booking levels. Prices do not always mirror demand: on Klook prices peak around September, whereas the lowest typical prices appear in April. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for April or the quieter late-winter months; for the buzzy, peak-season atmosphere choose July, keeping in mind prices may be higher at different times of year.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers book close to travel dates, with typical lead times very short but platform-wide early booking often occurring about 36 days ahead. For short trips you can stay flexible—many activities are available at short notice—while locking in bookings around a month ahead can help for popular dates in July. Use Klook to compare available options and secure experiences once your dates are set.
