Great tour - CK our guide was very informative, and spoke English well. It rained but he made the experience a memory.

A great way of experiencing Busan - We were met at the port and taken in a very comfortable van to the places of significance. Frank was very informative. At no time did we feel rushed. Just be aware that the barbecue meal is expensive. It’s a lovely experience but there are cheaper options.
The day was superb and Frank an excellent guide. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Outstanding Quick Jaunt in Busan - When our Princess Cruise docked in Busan the ship had some logistical problems and delays in getting us off the ship and through customs, so we were a bit delayed getting out. Our tour guide Frank met us and his positive energy turned what could have been a rough day around. He was flexible in customizing our itinerary, provided plenty of cultural insights, and made great recommendations for lunch and shopping options. I highly recommend this tour and Frank as a guide.

Great tour - VERY expensive lunch! - This is a really good tour if you’ve got one day in Busan. The guide and driver were very efficient.
Our only ‘complaint’ is that we were taken to a very expensive Korean BBQ restaurant without any choice. We only discovered how expensive it was ($80 AUD for two of us) on arrival.
Why the tour operator doesn’t offer a food hall or a choice of something simpler, I don’t know. It would have been good for an explanation of what the rather complex meal was. Please don’t mis-understand my concerns here. The food at this restaurant was very good - we just didn’t get a choice!
That said - still a great tour! Thanks Joey (our guide)

Quite Good But Could Be Better - This is a great way to maximize your day in port. However, make sure to get a timed itinerary in advance. Our guide never gave us a detailed itinerary and it seemed as though we wasted time by not knowing how many places we would see and how much time was allotted at each. Toward the end, he seemed to just be filling time until we had to go back to the ship. He actually seemed more of a driver and less of a tour guide. Still better than an excursion off the ship, though. Take this tour, but do your own research and request a specific itinerary in advance. Keep your guide on his toes.

Don't bother, waste of money - The whole trip was like a whirlwind, we went from one place to another, took a few pictures and that was it. We had no time to look around at all. To make things worse, the tour guide persuaded us to have Korean BBQ for lunch which she said was so tasty and it was a must try. She brought us to a restaurant which looked quite upscale and recommended us the Korean beef set meal, it costed $35 per person and kept saying it was very tasty and so we went ahead as she said. Turned out that was a real scam, the so called Korean beef was like ground beef and the sides were tasteless! We all felt hungry after the meals! With the same money, we can have a good meal at any Korean restaurant in Vancouver which give you sliced beef and not grounded beef! We also met other groups of people from our cruise there so it was definitely a tourist trap and the tour guides got their kick-backs there!
