Austin was a great... - Austin was a great guide--knowledgeable and friendly. The tour start time adjusted based on when our ship docked which was much appreciated. We only had a total of five persons including our guide in the car so we were able to adjust our itinerary as necessary and park easily. Austin gave us excellent lunch options and shopping opportunities. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who needs a shore excursion.

Great tour of old and new Busan - This tour is an energetic sampler of old and new Busan. We enjoyed the temple and the visit to the fish market the best. Our guide Kassy was enthusiastic, fun and charming. She was flexible and accommodating and got in touch with us directly about changes to our schedule caused by our cruise ships delay arriving in port. Highly recommended tour for those willing to walk up inclines and steps at the temple, in the park and around town.

Cruise layover in Busan. - Kassey was a wonderful guide who had knowledge of her country. She shared a vast amount of information as toured. The entire tour was my favorite. Everything you would want to see while in port for just a day. Each stop was just enough time to encounter the site. We were back onboard the ship in plenty of time before we set sail.

Wonderful Tour of Busan - If you are seeking a well rounded tour of Busan this is the best tour. Kassy met us at the port terminal and led us to a comfortable bus. We traveled to Temple Gijang-gun, APEC, UN Memorial Cemetery, Gamcheon Village, and the fish market as well as the old town area which sells crafts and souvenirs. It was an amazing experience and really enriching. I have an understanding of Busan geography, food and culture. Kassy was a great tour guide kept us informed of the areas we visited provided restaurant recommendations and gave a great overview of the history of the areas we visited. We truly enjoyed our experience and recommended this tour to others.

We are not satisfied - I reserve a small group tour for our 8 people. But Here Korea Travel send a 17 people middle size bus and ask us to share with other people. We are not satisfied.

Poor Customer Satisfaction - Booked reserve now, pay later on Busan tour(cruise layover). When it came time to pay and check details on my phone, kept getting “payment not processed” and rebook now but not allowed in to do so. As I thought my reservation was cancelled, I did not show up for the tour. After I returned home, found out that my payment had been processed after all. Tried to get a refund by speaking with Viator, but was told “No” as this reason was not in policy- no exceptions. Lost nearly $200.00 and feel that Viator’s policy does not include fairness and customer satisfaction- no refund or credit for future tours was offered. I will never book with Viator again as this has never happened with other tour companies- BEWARE!!
