Dennis and Tian were very... - Dennis and Tian were very kind and informative guides. The places we went to were already on my list of sights I really wanted to see, and booking this tour made it so much easier to see them all and probably cost about what it would have cost to try to travel to each place on my own. Every site was really beautiful, and we got a good mix of guidance and free time with each place. Would definitely recommend.

Great tour with excellent guide Yoona who was very knowledgeable - Great tour with Yoona, she was very informative, knowledgeable and great fun. Well paced and not too much standing around wasting time like on some trips I've been on. Plenty of free time at places but not so much that you are bored

One day in Busan. - This trip around Busan was wonderful. Yakima was an excellent guide, providing plenty of information and tips for our tour. We had a great time visiting the temple, village, blue train and skywalk. An excellent way to get a good one day snapshot of Busan. We were on a cruise ship and this tour fitted our time schedule perfectly. Takin found an excellent place for lunch catering to our dietary needs. Thank you

Busan Cultural Wonders with Beach train & Gamcheon village - BLUF- B. Despite a D- on one of the stops, the tour was informative and interesting. First, a big shout out to our guide, Roy S; he was an outstanding and professional guide. I would highly recommend him. The overall cost for two adults was $125 for four sites. The rendezvous site was easy to find, and the bus was comfortable. The first stop was Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. Haedong Yonggung Temple is a Buddhist temple in Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea. The temple complex is large and one of few in Korea to be set on the seaside. There are lots of stairs, and some are narrow. Be careful; people get rather pushy, and I’ve seen some folks take a tumble. A The second stop was Haeundae Blueline Park and Beach Train. Some folk see the beach train as a little cheezy, but I liked it. It was a short 2.5-mile train ride near the shoreline. My only complaint was that too many buildings blocked another lovely view. B- The third stop was Gamcheon Village. It’s history is a far cry from what it is now. Historically, it was a displaced civilian shanty town during the Korean War, particularly during its darkest period, the Busan Perimeter. Now, it’s nothing but, in my opinion, a tourist trap. D- - The final stop was the cable car ride across Songdo Beach. This ride provided an excellent view of Songdo Beach and the Port of Busan, which, according to sources, is the oldest beach in Busan.

Give Busan a try and you’ll be surprised - The Haedong Yonggungsa is a very cool historical place well worth the time. The 2.5 mile blueline was ok. The issue I had is most of the seascape was blocked or partially blocked. The cable ride gives a better view but is mat part of the tour. The Gamcheon culture village isn’t worth the time. What could have been a great historical experience turns out to be a tourist trap. The final stop was the cable ride at Songdo beach. This attraction provided a great view of the beach area and the various ship awaiting access to the harbor. Overall, B / B- the Gamcheon village, in my opinion, is a waste of time.
