A great snapshot of Busan with friendly and knowledgeable guide. - Fantastic tour to do the key spots in Busan. Our guide Jason was very knowledgeable, had great English and a good sense of humour. We enjoyed the mix of the city and the countryside with a highlight being the Ahopsan forest for its tranquility. Would recommend this tour and especially our guide Jason to anybody wishing a private tour of Busan.

My wife and I booked the... - My wife and I booked the private eight hour tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Jake was our tour guide and he took us to the temple, bamboo forest, the markets, and the suspension bridge. He also took us to his favorite restaurant for lunch as well as his street food vendor for a sweet bite after the savory meal. Perfect guide with a memorable experience!

This was one of our... - This was one of our favorite tours during our 1 month holiday. CK was a very personable and friendly guide. We saw all of Busan's major attractions and he taught us how to properly cook and eat K-bbq. CK also introduced hotteok and bingsu to us - which we ended up eating a couple more times after this tour. What I enjoyed most was our conversations in the car - history, culture, and learning about today's generation.

We had a great experience... - We had a great experience with JB. Even though some things were closed, he was able to offer other suggestions of places for us to visit. He also recommended an amazing BBQ place which really rounded out our time together. If we ever come back to Busan, I would love to use this vendor again!

The stops we visited were amazing especially the forest and the temple. Overall, my family and I enjoyed this tour and would recommend this tour and CK as the guide!

Not to be missed - Jordan Lee, our guide, shared his knowledge and love for his hometown. We were also fortunate to have arrived among the first at the Haedonggungsa Buddhist temple which made the visit even more interesting. Same with 아홉산솦 (Ahopson Forest). In addition, despite rainy weather, we were spared rain during the visits. Let’s say there were a lot of tourists at the Gamcheon Cultural Village, but Mr. Lee quickly took us around the village’s landmarks. After that we went to the fish market and shared a meal of abalones, eel and abalone porridge. Again, Mr. Lee knew everyone at the market. As I travel with a BTS fan, Mr Lee drove us to Jimin's father's cafe. That is service. In short, this guided tour allowed us to see many places in a short time. We could never have visited so many places on our own. Also, Mr. Lee took over 50 photos of us. Wow, what more to say.
