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.

Private Busan Tour — Professional, Personalized, and Memorable - We booked a private tour of Busan through Viator and spent a fantastic day with Arthur, our professional and friendly guide. From the start, communication was excellent — Arthur connected via WhatsApp, gave clear instructions, and picked us up right at the port in his personal car, which was perfect for the two of us. The tour listed suggested stops, but Arthur tailored the day to our interests, adding great suggestions like the Oryukdo Skywalk and Dongbaekseom Park, while being flexible when a roadblock changed our original plan to visit a temple. We visited the colorful Gamcheon Culture Village, walked the dramatic glass-floor lookout at Oryukdo, enjoyed a beautiful coastal walk near Haeundae Beach, and explored Jagalchi Fish Market. Arthur encouraged us to really experience the market — vendors handed us live octopus and eel to hold! Upstairs, we had a fresh seafood feast at a local restaurant with Arthur joining us for lunch, which added a special local touch to the day. Afterward, we strolled BIFF Square and the International Market before heading back to the ship. Although it could have been possible to taxi between sites, the experience of having a knowledgeable guide made the day so much smoother, more interesting, and culturally rich. We didn’t just sightsee — we connected. This was one of the best days of our whole trip. Highly recommend both Viator’s arrangement and Arthur’s amazing guiding!

Excellent day in Busan - This was an excellent day and we thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with our guide Jason! The vehicle was spacious and clean and we were the first visitors to arrive at the bamboo forest for the day! Jason gave us information to help us make informed decisions on our itinerary for the day. This day was a highlight during our 2 and a half week trip!

The best of Busan - We had a wonderful day with the fabulous Mimi. We particularly wanted to see Cherry Blossoms, so Mimi adjusted the itinerary to make sure that we saw the best spots that we would never have known about. In a busy city like Busan, her excellent driving skills and local knowledge were very much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Loved Busan and this Tour - JB was an excellent guide. Nothing we asked for was any problem. We changed his set itinerary as we wanted to ride the train gondola along the coastline and he quickly had reserved tickets for us. We also skipped past long queues. A fantastic day!
