Hustle free, fun and interesting Busan excursion - It was a wonderful experience from the beginning to the end. Ken was super friendly and fun, always made sure to keep our group happy and laughing. Even wend an extra mile to satisfy our needs. The bus was super comfortable with wide reclining seats and a foot rest. The driver was exceptional, we almost felt we are in the limo. Great thank you to both of you for making our Busan trip an unbelievable experience!!!!

Greaat Day Trip in Busan - I had a great experience on this tour. Our guide, Jason, was very polite, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in sharing information about the places we visited. He was also very helpful whenever anyone in the group needed assistance.
The bus was very comfortable, and the itinerary was well organized. The tour lasted about 8 hours and 30 minutes and felt very complete without being rushed.
Overall, a very enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Busan.

Highly recommended & great value. - We enjoyed a really full day in the bustling and lively city of Busan in the company of our guide, Daniel, who spoke excellent English and gave us lots of useful information as he drove us from our pick up point to each of the key tourist sites on the itinerary. The vehicle used was modern and comfortable and with just 4 other tourists on the tour, it was a much better solution than sitting on a large bus. We visited the Blueline Park Beach Tram (ticket included), the magnificent Haedong Yonggungsa temple, and stopped for a lunch break in central Busan at the Jagalchi Fish Market area (an unexpected bonus) before afternoon trips to the colourful Gamcheon Culture Village and Songdo beach. At the latter, there was time enough to ride the Busan Air Cruise (cable car) which was at an additional cost. We had enough time to see all of these stops despite Busan being very busy on the day of our visit. HIghly recommended if you have limited time in town and a great value tour.

Fun and Easy Way To See Busan - We were lucky to have two great tour guides, Bobby Kim and Lincoln. They were very friendly and kept us organized and comfortable throughout the entire day. Bobby Kim was also fantastic at helping us capture great photos at all the best spots.
This tour was a wonderful way to see Busan, and we truly enjoyed every stop. The schedule allowed a good amount of free time to walk around and explore on our own, which we really appreciated. However, if you prefer having a guide with you at all times, this might not be ideal.
The highlights included the absolutely beautiful Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and Gamcheon Culture Village, which ended up being our favorite stop. One great tip we discovered was to buy tea or dessert at one of the cafés with a rooftop terrace—purchasing something allows you access to the rooftop, where you can enjoy the best views and take amazing photos.
Overall, we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Busan!

Good summary of sights for a short stay in Busan - Good summary of sights for a short stay in Busan
It should be clear that the guide gives you rather the opportunity to reach the sights comfortably. You do not get a guided tour of the sights, but rather a short input and then free time at the places. In addition, he offers to take pictures of one. The language of the tour varied due to the composition of the group - instead of just English, the contents were also translated into Chinese and Japanese.
