Ahopsan Forest was stunning. It was a beautiful hike. Our guide, Suki, was wonderful. She took us to some great places and suggested a wonderful lunch. I would highly recommend this tour.

Pickup at cruise port on time. My wife uses a mobility scooter and our guide was considerate of us as we loaded and unloaded the scooter. We were able to see most of the major sites, in many cases before any buses showed up. Good recommendation for lunch. She watched our time and tried to fill it so we got good value from our tour and still returned to the ship on time.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We're delighted to hear your guide was so considerate with your wife's mobility scooter, and that you were able to enjoy Busan's major sites ahead of the crowds. It's wonderful that she kept a close eye on your time so you got the most out of your day while returning to the ship right on schedule. Hope to welcome you both back to Busan again soon!

I am so late on this review! We went in October 2024. Jason Lee was an excellent guide on this amazing tour. We saw so many things we wouldn’t have otherwise, and they were all breathtaking and left us with memories that will last a lifetime. Definitely one of the best, most memorable tours of our 17 days in Korea. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone. He is fun, engaging and very knowledgeable. He gave the impression right from the start that he genuinely cared to make sure his guests had the best experience - even making sure we had a care package of snacks and water packed by his wife! It was an added bonus that he picked us up at our hotel in the morning, and then dropped us right at the airport to catch our flight that evening to Jeju - he was very mindful of our time, making sure we saw everything and still made it to the airport in plenty of time for our departure. His driving was excellent (coming from someone who hates being a passenger!). Being a private tour also made it extra enjoyable, more of a personal touch. Our group of 6 were comfortable in his clean, well appointed van, and we would recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review, even though your tour was back in October 2024! It's wonderful that Jason Lee's care and thoughtfulness left such a lasting impression that you wanted to share it with others.
It truly sounds like Jason went above and beyond for your group — from the care package of snacks and water his wife prepared, to picking you up at your hotel and making sure you arrived at the airport with plenty of time to catch your flight to Jeju. That kind of attentiveness, watching over both your experience and your schedule, is exactly the spirit we hope every guest feels with us. We're also so glad the private tour setting gave your group of six a comfortable, personal way to explore, and that Jason's driving put you at ease throughout the day.
Hearing that this was one of the most memorable tours of your entire 17 days in Korea means the world to us. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Jason — it will truly make his day. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Korea again soon!

Mia was informative and amazing. She showed us all of Busan’s major attractions while teaching us its history through stories and personal tales. We experienced Busan through sight, touch, hearing and taste. Fabulous authentic lunch topped off with banana milk treat. All stars for Mia. Pick up and drop off at port.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Mia helped you experience Busan through its history, culture, food, and local stories. It sounds like the authentic lunch and banana milk were memorable highlights as well!

It was very flexible. Robin was great explaining the culture and the real way to do Korean BBQ. It was awesome. Our cruise ship shortened our port time. But Robin still made the experience memorable and fun.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your kind review, Stephen!
We’re very happy to hear that Robin was able to make your time in Busan memorable despite the shortened cruise schedule. Sharing Korean culture and the proper Korean BBQ experience with our guests is always something we love to do, so your comments will mean a lot to Robin.

This tour truly was incredible. Our trip to Korea has taught us much about Korean kindness and hospitality and our guide Alan brought this experience to a whole different level. We originally booked this tour because my mother-in-law had a recent knee replacement surgery and we were concerned she would not comfortably navigate some of the faster paced group tours. Alan is a Busan native who clearly knows his home city. He went out of his way to make her feel comfortable, and even suggested alternative options that she could more easily navigate without compromising the quality of our experience. When we requested a sit down lunch instead of eating lunch at the traditional market, Alan quickly pivoted and took us to a delicious ginseng chicken soup restaurant. Thus far this has been one of our most favorite meals in Korea!
This tour was well timed so that we did not feel rushed or overly crowded as we went to the various locations. We cannot thank Alan enough for this amazing day and we highly recommend this tour and especially Alan for anyone looking to truly experience Busan!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review.
We are truly touched to hear that Alan helped make your family’s day in Busan comfortable, memorable, and meaningful. Your kind words about his care for your mother-in-law and his flexibility throughout the tour will mean so much to him.
We are also very happy to hear the ginseng chicken soup became one of your favorite meals in Korea. 😊
Thank you again for choosing Korea Go Tours and for sharing such a beautiful experience with us.
Warmest regards,

Helena is a wonderful tour guide, friendly, personable, ready to answer any and all questions. We covered a lot of territory in one day but enjoyed all of the activities, which were varied from rustic beauty to the hustle and bustle of the Gukje Market. Helena gave us more than a tour of sites, she imparted a sense of Busan as a mega-city in transition, cherishing older traditions while transforming itself to an international city of art and commerce. We deeply appreciate her warmth and knowledge. Plus, she's one heck of a driver, navigating the crowded streets and fast-paced highways. We look forward to another tour with Helena when we return to Busan.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review.
Helena will be delighted to hear your kind words. She always enjoys sharing not only the places themselves, but also the story of how Busan continues to evolve while still preserving its traditions. It’s wonderful to know that you felt that sense of the city during your day together.
We truly appreciate your kind recognition of her warmth, knowledge, and driving skills as well. Busan can be a busy city, so hearing that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience means a lot to us.
We would be very happy to welcome you back to Busan in the future, and Helena would surely love to guide you again.
Warm regards,
Dylan

Arthur is the best guide! We had good communication before our day with him and he thought carefully about what we were interested in and what we weren't. He then put together a perfect itinerary, and our day was filled with wonderful experiences and information. We saw such a diverse range of places - and the tour lived up to its "hidden gems" title. His car was very comfortable and his driving was excellent. His English was perfect. He was quietly witty, related so well with us and was great company. He was interested in us too. He took us to a genuine local Korean restaurant for lunch, away from the tourist areas. Yummy! He made our day in Busan really memorable in so many ways. We wished we could have him on all our tours! If you are travelling to Busan, you must ask for him to be your guide!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Querida_S,
Reading your review honestly made us smile from start to finish.
Thank you for taking the time to write such thoughtful and generous words about Arthur. He truly cares about every guest he meets, and it means so much to hear that you felt understood, comfortable, and genuinely looked after throughout the day.
Arthur has that quiet sense of humor and warm personality that makes people feel at ease, and I’m really happy that you experienced Busan not just as visitors, but in a more personal and local way — especially with that authentic lunch away from the tourist spots.
We feel proud and grateful to have him on our team. I will personally share your message with him — it will mean a lot.
If Busan ever calls you back, we would love to see you again. And of course, Arthur would be more than happy to explore more hidden gems with you.
With sincere thanks,
Dylan

This was a great private tour with some very unique experiences such as the bamboo forest and the temple by the sea. Our guide Changwoo graciously made some adjustments to the itinerary to accommodate my wife’s mobility issues. His vast knowledge of all the stops and ongoing commentary along the way made for an enriching experience.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you very much, Kenneth, for your thoughtful review.
We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the unique experiences, especially the bamboo forest and the seaside temple. It means a great deal to us that Changwoo was able to adjust the itinerary to accommodate your wife’s mobility needs and ensure a comfortable experience.
He takes great pride in sharing his knowledge and stories, so your kind words about his commentary and care will certainly encourage him.
We sincerely appreciate you choosing us for your time in Busan and hope to welcome you again in the future.

We had looked at the suggested itinerary prior to our trip, and wanted to make a couple of changes. I contacted the tour provider through Viator, and they were wonderful. After reviewing the locations we wanted to visit they developed a suggested itinerary for us. We had requested to do the blueline capsule, the tour provider suggested what time and direction we should book, and included it into our day.
Our guide on the day, Roy, was brilliant. He provided us with sufficient information about each stop, and generally accompanied us for the first few minutes at each location to provide information and assist with any questions we may have, before allowing us to have time to explore on our own.
Roy was very passionate about sharing Busan's highlights with us, with a genuine pride in sharing Korean culture with us.
Roy was very friendly, helpful, informative and made our day smooth and enjoyable.
If we ever return to Busan we would definitely want to experience more with Roy as our guide, and would recommend him, and the tour company to anyone going.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Dear Ingrid,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to us.
We are very glad to hear that the itinerary planning process went smoothly and that we were able to adjust the route to better match your interests, including the Blueline Capsule. Helping guests create a well-balanced and enjoyable day is something we care deeply about.
It is wonderful to hear such kind words about Roy. He is genuinely passionate about Busan and Korean culture, and your comments perfectly reflect the way he approaches guiding — providing meaningful explanations while also giving guests the space to explore at their own pace.
Thank you again for your warm recommendation. If you ever return to Busan, we would be delighted to welcome you back and arrange another memorable experience with Roy.
Warm regards,

My guide, Arthur, gave me such a warm welcome to South Korea! I so enjoyed the time and the delicious foods that we shared. We were able to see all of the places in which I had an interest. I could not have chosen a more perfect guide for my first “taste” of all that Busan has to offer. Arthur was punctual, organized, and provided a thoughtfully planned and very instructive tour. He also spoke impeccable English. How lucky that I was paired with an English teacher who shared so many of my interests!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Lori,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re truly delighted to hear that your first “taste” of Busan was such a memorable and enjoyable experience. Arthur will be very happy to know that his warmth, organization, and thoughtful guidance made your day special.

Jake was a wonderful guide. He took us to the two places that would have been more difficult to get to on our own. The Gorgeous Temple by the sea and the bamboo forest. We had a perfect day and weather. We really appreciated him dropping us off At Gamcheon Village so we could explore the shops and many colorful photo spots on our own at the end because we ran out of time. I would definitely recommend Jake 😊
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you had a perfect day exploring Busan with Jake. He truly loves sharing the history and hidden beauty of the city, and it’s wonderful to know that his guidance added so much color to your experience.
The seaside temple and bamboo forest are two of Busan’s most special gems, and we’re glad the weather cooperated to make your visit even better. Jake will be happy to know that you appreciated the extra stop at Gamcheon Village to explore at your own pace.
We truly appreciate your kind recommendation and hope to see you again for another memorable adventure in Korea.

Our day with Mia was the highlight of our trip. Could not have asked for a better day. Mia made our day really special. We had a fabulous lunch at her suggestion and then continued on our adventure.

Our private tour with Daisy was great. She was informative and friendly. She picked us up from the cruise terminal on time. We visited a private Bamboo forest, Haedong Yonnggung Temple and the Gamcheong Village and had a traditional Korean lunch.
It was a wonderful tour.
Our ship arrival date was changed due to bad weather, so a big thank you to Korea Go Tours company for great communication and for being flexible with the date change in the short amount of time.

It was a full day of activities with our guide CK. He was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good English.
We went to the bamboo forest first, we climbed and walked a lot; you need to be fit for this excursion. Then we went to the Buddhist temple by the sea and that was amazing!
We visited the busy market and had Korean bbq for lunch. We stopped by Gamcheon Culture Village and that was really neat.
Overall this was a great experience with lots of activities packed in a day.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, Maria!
I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed your day exploring Busan with CK. It sounds like you made the most of every stop — from the peaceful bamboo forest and seaside temple to the lively market and colorful Gamcheon Culture Village.

My husband and I are very grateful for Dylan, our amazing tour guide and driver, for taking us to Ahopson Forest and Gamcheon Cultural Village. Initially, we booked the tour at 12:30pm but had to request Dylan to meet us up earlier since we could only get the early morning train to Busan. Dylan was so accommodating and flexible and met us at Busan Station immediately when we arrived. Visiting the Ahopson Forest was truly an experience of a lifetime. The bamboo forest was breathtaking. Dylan took beautiful photos of us that will remind us of our wonderful experience. We also appreciate Dylan's knowledge of Gamcheon Cultural Village as he shared with us the history of the village. Thank you Dylan for making the tour very memorable for us!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Monina,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. It was truly a joy spending the day with you and your husband. Even more than the beauty of Ahopsan Forest, what stayed with me was how warm and caring you were toward each other—it was heartwarming to see such a lovely bond after more than 20 years together. I'm so glad we were able to adjust the schedule to make everything comfortable for you. I hope the photos bring back fond memories whenever you look at them. Wishing you continued happiness in your journey together, and I hope to see you again in Korea someday!

My wife and I booked the private eight hour tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Jake was our tour guide and he took us to the temple, bamboo forest, the markets, and the suspension bridge.
He also took us to his favorite restaurant for lunch as well as his street food vendor for a sweet bite after the savory meal.
Perfect guide with a memorable experience!

This was one of our favorite tours during our 1 month holiday. CK was a very personable and friendly guide. We saw all of Busan's major attractions and he taught us how to properly cook and eat K-bbq. CK also introduced hotteok and bingsu to us - which we ended up eating a couple more times after this tour. What I enjoyed most was our conversations in the car - history, culture, and learning about today's generation.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much, Elizabeth 🌸
We’re truly honored that this tour became one of your favorites during your month-long holiday. CK will be so happy to hear how much you enjoyed both the sights and the stories shared along the way. Wishing you many more sweet moments (and hotteok!) on your travels ✨
