My family and I had the pleasure of touring Busan with Bada, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! Bada is an outstanding tour guide who truly went above and beyond to ensure our group had an amazing time. Highly recommend!

The super cost-effective Busan Pass shows the Busan government’s intention to promote tourism. Lotte World and Spaland Jjimjilbang alone have paid for themselves, and there are a total of 40 other popular attractions. I’d be sorry if you don’t buy it.

David was a great guide, professional photographer & superb driver. He took us to many scenic places for sightseeing & photography. We’re glad that we booked the tour as we wouldn’t be able to discover the hidden spots or go around on our own. Unfortunately too many tourists touched the Fox, it’s bandaged. He communicates fluently in English and we’re able to have great conversations. Looking forward to the photo edits. Uploading some photos I took. Lastly, I wish David all the best with his business!
