HyoungHwa was excellent!... - HyoungHwa was excellent! She provided helpful suggestions on what to see since we had been to Busan before. She's also a foodie so we tried several local delicacies at a local market without other tourists. Super fun day!

Amazing Private Tour in Busan - We had an incredible one-day private tour in Busan, and it was all thanks to our amazing tour guide, Luke! He speaks excellent English, which made communication easy and enjoyable. Luke was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to fully customize the itinerary to suit our interests. We loved having the flexibility to spend as much time as we wanted at each site. His knowledge of the area and friendly personality made the entire experience even more memorable. We had such a good time exploring Busan—thank you so much, Luke! Highly recommend!

Fabulous , great value personalised first Korean experience with friendly professional local expert Paul - Our local guide Paul made this personalised tour for just my wife and myself a fabulous day of learning , humour and appreciation for our first visit to this dynamic , modern South Korean metropolis .From being picked up at the cruise terminal to cooking our delicious Korean bbq lunch at our table , nothing was too much trouble for Paul as we gained great insights into Korean history , culture and cuisines . By the time he dropped us back at the cruise terminal we felt we had made a genuine Korean friend and we wish him and his lovely bride all the best for their upcoming wedding and honeymoon in our home country Australia …10 out of 5 if we could mark this wonderful day tour higher . 😀Warmest regards Sheree and Paul

Wow! 237 photos from today's trip - couldn't be happier! - Kassy was very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and genuine. She made our tour very efficient, suggested lots of photo spots (not for Instagram, for long memories of Busan!) and took a bunch of our family photos - really good. It was our pleasure to be with her today!

Exceptional Care for Seniors: A Memorable Busan - Love that the tour operator (Alicia) reached out in advance and provided another list of possible places to go for our itinerary! We had 2 senior citizens in our party so we actually wanted to do less stops and take more time at each of our requested stops. Kassy was our tour guide who was briefed by Alicia as soon as she received our preferred itinerary. Kassy reached out the day before and assisted us in purchasing our tickets and followed our request to not rush the seniors in our party. She even helped take them up and down any stairs they encountered! She also made sure to show us where any elevators were if stairs could be avoided. Also, kudos to our driver for pulling up closer to the curb so that our seniors could better get to the curb! At the end of the trip, we were reluctant to leave Kassy. The 9 hours we had with her flew by too fast. We will definitely book this tour again (and hopefully get Kassy!) if we ever return to Busan!

Amazing time in Busan - This was an amazing tour! Our guide, Kassy was not only very knowledgeable but also very friendly and attentive to all our needs. Kassy is passionate about her city, and that really transpired during the tour. She made every stop very interesting for all members of our family (ages from 9 to 80 yrs old!). We absolutely loved our day in Busan and we recommend this tour to any group who would like to see and learn about Busan on a limited time frame.

Awesome Korean tour guide - I had a great 8 days South Korea tour on 17/4-24/4/25.Beside Korea beautiful sceneries, friendly people, nice hotels, great food most importantly we had a great Korean tour guide Mr Stephen Lee. Mr Stephen Lee is a very responsible and approachable Korean tour guide, he always answered our enquiry in a comfortable manner and treated us as his friends. Throughout the whole journey, Stephen shared with us his knowledge of Korea history, food,drama and songs (Stephen can sing very well).We were having laughter's all the time with Stephen around and he made us really happy and enjoyed our trips. Besides the joy Stephen gave us, he also made sure that everyone of us are safe by sending us back to the hotel. I feel very happy and lucky to have Stephen as our Korean tour guide and will request Stephen as our Korean tour guide in future when we visit south Korea again.

Busan is definitely worth a day trip! - We had booked the tour from/to Busan train station, arriving with KTX from Seoul. In the short time of 7 hours we knew all the sights that were planned to look at or use in peace. Many thanks to Jeonghwa our guide who made sure it went smoothly. Language-wise, too, we managed well here. Thank you very much for the commitment.
