Busan Tour for cruise ship passengers - Finn was at the cruise terminal ready to be our guide and driver for the day. There were 6 guests oi total, so it was a small, easy to manage group. Finn was friendly and personable and he gave us lots of information. His English was good and he was easy to understand. We went at a reasonable pace, not too fast, not too slow and we had about the right amount of time in each location. I would recommend this tour if you are in good health and don't have any mobility issues as there are steep slopes and steps throughout.

Amazing day in Busan - Busan is a busy, vibrant town, and definitely needs a tour guide. Our tour guide, Green, and her driver Keith were extraordinary. Green gave us the history of every stop before we got there, and guide us with antedotes throughout the day. If I could give her more stars I would!

Enthusiastic Guide! - We enjoyed this tour as a stop on a Princess Cruise. With a short time in Busan, we wanted to get a sampling of what this amazing city had to offer and we were not disappointed! Our guide, Suki, clearly loved her home town and enjoyed sharing it with us. Our day started early and lasted until we had to get back to the ship. Suki structured our day so that our last stops were close to the cruise port and we could get to the ship without any concern. The day was full of wonderful experiences and left us wanting more time to learn about the city and its inhabitants. I definitely want to go back!

Great Immersion into South Koren Life and History - Our Day-Tour to Busan was full, fast, fun and enlightening with lots to see, and our guide Pada (???) did an excellent job under demanding conditions. The tour is set up to take 8+ hours or so, but all six people in our group were from the Diamond Princess cruise ship with only 7 ½ hours available for the tour due to our call to be back on board no later than 3:30 pm. As our group of septuagenarians plodded our way through the day, Pada’s scheduled kept slipping until the group began to worry our 3:30 deadline might not be met, but Pada kept his cool, squeezed in as much of the standard tour as he could, and delivered us back to the ship exactly at 3:00 pm, a full half hour before the ship’s mandate. As Pada amended the tour on the fly, our day included: A. 40-minute drive from the cruise port over to East Busan and a wonderful tour of the Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which on its own was well worth the price of the tour. B. Secondly, we made a somber visit to the United Nations Korean War Cemetery, which served to remind us that 21 member-nations fought this war to preserve the sovereignty of Korea. C. Our third segment of the tour was a visit to the remarkable Gamcheon Culture Village which has grown out of a camp originally established to house refugees of the Korean War. D. Pada next delivered us to Korea’s largest fish market located in Busan, where dozens of varieties of sealife are displayed and butchered as customers ate in small back rooms just feet away. E. Finally Pada squeezed in a visit to an “observatory” which provides the best view available of Busan’s harbor full of boats from around the world. All of this, and a 30-minute lunch break before we slid back into the cruise terminal 30 minutes in advance of our deadline. Kudos to Pada for a job well-done. NOTE TO THE EDITOR: Please pass along my apology to Pada for not giving him a tip. I know tips are discouraged and not expeected; however, as an American, I am a compulsive tipper, and Pada was certainly worthy for his efforts. I simply had no cash on hand (neither Korean nor American) to offer him. When we travel in a foreign country, particularly for just a day, I carry only a single VISA card for anything we might buy and avoid holding any cash. Please convey to Pada my regrets. I don’t want him to think his kindness and hard work were not appreciated.
