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.

Outstanding Tour Guide and Driver. Fiona was knowledgeable, accommodating and FUN! Both young ladies made our 8 hour go by quickly and efficiently! Couldn’t ask for more!!!

A sightseeing trip to Busan that reveals a city in transition

Edward_W, Mar 2026
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 Korea Go Tours

Best guide in Busan - Arthur

Querida_S, Feb 2026
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 Korea Go Tours

Excellent private tour

Kenneth_B, Feb 2026
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. Warm regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

our 1 day trip with tour guide Dylan was really good. Dylan explained our destinations and was patience with us changing the route and detinations.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I’m glad the flexibility of the route and pace made your day more comfortable, and your kind words really mean a lot to me. I hope Busan left you with wonderful memories, and I sincerely wish you many more beautiful journeys ahead. Warm regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

Great tour, would do it again

Ingrid_B, Dec 2025
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, Dylan Korea Go Tours

The perfect guide for your first “taste” of Busan

Lori_C, Oct 2025
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. He takes great pride in sharing Busan’s beauty, history, and flavors with his guests, and your kind words mean a lot to all of us at Korea Go Tours. We’re so grateful that you chose to explore Busan with us, and we hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable experience in the future. Warm regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

Jake knows so much history and added so much color to our visit.

szx8n2ft6v, Oct 2025
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. Warm regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

Busan Adventure

Lisa_F, Oct 2025
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. We could have never negotiated the fish market without her help and we had a truly amazing experience trying new things. Loved the entire day, again thank you Mia for taking such great care of us!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! Lisa ^^ I’m delighted to hear that your day in Busan with Mia was the highlight of your trip.

Wonderful

Vesna_B, Oct 2025
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.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much, Vesna! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your day in Busan with Daisy. She’ll be delighted to know her warmth and knowledge made your tour memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team’s communication and flexibility — we understand how unpredictable cruise schedules can be, and we always do our best to make things smooth for our guests. It was a pleasure welcoming you to Busan, and we hope to see you again someday for more beautiful experiences in Korea! Warm regards from all of us at Korea Go Tours.

Adventures in Busan

Maria_B, Oct 2025
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. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Korea for more adventures in the future. Warm regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

Dominic_H, Sep 2025
We enjoyed our experience with Dylan, our guide. He was attentive and helped us to create a unique experience incorporating some of our ideas into the tour. My only suggestion would be that you have more time as we felt a little rushed during our excursion.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Dominic, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that we could include some of your ideas to make it special. I’m also sorry if parts of the tour felt a little rushed. Since it was only a 4-hour tour, I wanted to show you as much as possible within the limited time. I truly appreciate your understanding. Your feedback means a lot to me, and it helps me improve so future guests can enjoy an even better experience. I hope we’ll have the chance to spend more time together on a longer tour if you ever visit again. Warm regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

Our group of 4 had a nice day with Suki. We saw all the spots on the itinerary in a very efficient manner and were even able to add in a few extra places and views. Very interesting walk through the local fish market.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much, Kristin, for sharing your experience. I’m delighted to hear that you and your group had a wonderful day with Suki. It’s great that you were able to enjoy all the planned highlights and even fit in some extra stops along the way.

An experience of a lifetime! Thank you Dylan.

Monina_R, Aug 2025
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! Warmest regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

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!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 😊 Jake is going to be over the moon when he reads this!

Thank you for choosing Korea Go Tours and for making Jake's day with this amazing feedback! 💙 Best regards, Noah Korea Go Tours

This was one of our...

Elizabeth_J, Jun 2025
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 ✨ – Dylan from Korea Go Tours

Kawehilani_S, Jun 2025
We had a great experience with JB. Even though some things were closed, he was able to offer other suggestions of places for us to visit. He also recommended an amazing BBQ place which really rounded out our time together. If we ever come back to Busan, I would love to use this vendor again!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that JB helped make your Busan experience special, even with some unexpected closures. We're glad you enjoyed the BBQ recommendation too—it’s one of our favorites! If you ever return to Busan, it would be an honor to welcome you back. Warm regards, Dylan Korea Go Tours

Amazing tour with CK

Karl_A, May 2025
We had a great time with CK as our English guide for this tour. CK was really easy to talk to, very helpful and knew a lot about Korean history. The stops we visited were amazing especially the forest and the temple. Overall, my family and I enjoyed this tour and would recommend this tour and CK as the guide!

Response from Host, May 2025

Private Busan Tour — Professional, Personalized, and Memorable

Stephan_T, Apr 2025
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!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review! I'm absolutely thrilled that you had such a fantastic experience with Arthur in Busan. Reading your kind words brought a huge smile to my face—almost as big as the ones we see when guests hold live octopus for the first time! 😄 It sounds like you and Arthur really hit it off and managed to create the perfect personalized adventure together. That's exactly what we aim for with our private tours—not just showing you the highlights, but creating meaningful connections and memories that last long after you've returned home. I'm especially happy that Arthur could introduce you to the authentic seafood experience at Jagalchi Market. There's nothing quite like the "when in Busan..." moment of handling live seafood and then enjoying it freshly prepared upstairs! Some guests are a bit hesitant at first, but it sounds like you embraced the full experience with enthusiasm. That flexibility with the roadblock situation is something we pride ourselves on too—sometimes the unexpected detours lead to the most memorable moments! Thank you again for choosing our service and for taking the time to share your experience. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Arthur, who will be absolutely delighted to know how much you enjoyed your day together. If your travels ever bring you back to Korea, we'd be honored to show you even more hidden gems—perhaps next time with a side of Korean karaoke! 🎤 Wishing you many more wonderful adventures, Best regards Dylan

A wonderful day in Busan

Until then, I wish you many more wonderful adventures! Warmest regards Dylan

Excellent day in Busan

Megan_F, Apr 2025
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!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your wonderful review of our Busan Hidden Gems tour! I'm thrilled to hear about your positive experience. Jason mentioned how much he enjoyed spending the day with your group - he was particularly impressed by your genuine curiosity about Busan's culture and your enthusiasm at each stop. He especially appreciated the thoughtful questions and the laughter shared throughout the day. Getting to the bamboo forest early is always special, and Jason was happy to see your reaction to its tranquil beauty. Thank you for choosing our tour.
