Wish Tagy Travel cloned itself in other countries of the world. - Excellent organization. Attention to detail. Guides speak perfect English. Tagy Travel is really easy to work with. Return from the railroad station to our hotel by car late in the evening after Busan excursion was not advertised but was quickly added at our request. Guides are flexible adjusting itinerary to our small group's wishes. We had 2 excursions, Busan by KTX being one of them, with Tagy Travel on 2 consecutive days and really enjoyed both especially compared to less than satisfying experience in Japan.

Fantastic Tour - Wonderful tour! Mr. Jay met us in Busan and was knowledgeable and kind. His van was also new and very clean. We saw so many highlights of Busan and ate a delicious lunch. We were also taken to our train seats both ways. This was one of our favorite experiences in Korea. Our family truly had the best day! Highly recommend this tour and Mr. Jay!

Busan - the secret capital of South Korea - After arriving with the Bullet Train, we immediately went to Gamcheon and learnt interesting facts about the population growth after the Korean War. Our guide Mr. Choi accompanied us throughout the day and even after 8 hours there were still so many things to see. We should have planned at least 2 days in Busan. Such a multi-faceted city should be the secret capital of South Korea.

Wonderful tour with the best tour guide - Amy, our tour guide, was the best thing happened to us. We didn’t have much time so we book a day tour to Busan from Seoul. The entire team was very professional and punctual. We were informed and guided well in advance and every step of the way. We learned so much about Busan thank to Amy. She was knowledgeable, tentative and passionate. We love love it. We appreciate Amy and the team very much.

Busan adventure - I was picked up promptly from my hotel and escorted to the train and back again that evening with Jay, after a very busy day in Busan with Solomon. From fish market to walks on the beach, to Gamcheon Tourist Village and more, it was a wonderful day.

Breathtaking moments in Busan - My daughter and I highly recommend the Busan City Tour by KTX bullet train. Our guide in Seoul was friendly, informative (writing all the finer details of our round trip eg how to catch the subway to our hotel on return on an envelope) making pick up from our hotel in Myeongdong to the Seoul Station seamless. At the station we had ample time to grab a coffee & food for the train ride. The train is a great way to see the countryside and the ride seems to go so fast whilst you are passing through each province. Once we arrived in Busan we made an immediate connection with our guide Min with her greeting us in our native language of New Zealand (Māori). Min is an exceptional guide - humble, knowledgeable, energetic and patient who made the entire journey not only informative but also fun. Her positivity and enthusiasm were contagious, making every moment enjoyable. Busan was just wow, a must visit and exploring the city with Min gave us a much deeper appreciation for its history and culture. She shared fascinating insights that we wouldn’t have learned otherwise, and she tailored the experience to our interests, especially my daughter who is BTS Army taking us to Jimin's Dad’s cafe Z Millennial and the Skywalk, which made the visit even more special! Min’s passion for Busan truly shines through, and her ability to make every stop engaging and memorable is remarkable. We would absolutely do this tour again and highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable Busan experience!

A perfect way to see Busan - This private tour is the absolute best way to see Busan and well worth the spend. Our tour guide Bonita was especially knowledgeable and so happy to accommodate our needs. Hotel pick up and escort to the bullet train made finding where to go so easy.

Chanwoo is the best guide! - Chanwoo was the best tour guide. He tailored our tour to our unique and specific interests such as the cafe owned by a BTS member's father, time to shop at Shinsegae, a gal bi lunch at a spot he and his family really enjoy, and still have time to visit sites such as Haeundae and Guangalli beaches and areas, but also a local street lined with cherry blossin.trees in full bloom. We will definitely book him again.
