Highly Recommend

DerrickJ, Apr 2026
We had the most amazing day with Sang as our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the city, and got us into the right places at the right times. He also helped translating at the shops and markets and went above and being to name sure that we were having a great experience. Having a smaller group made it so much better a well. I highly recommend this tour of beautiful Busan. It'll well definitely make you want to come back and stay longer. Thank you, Sang!

Best Busan Guide

Fay_I, Apr 2026
We had a great time in Busan with our guide Leo. We loved the itinerary and all the cherry blossoms. Our favorite spot was the fish market where we ate the freshest seafoood and my granddaughter was able to touch many of the live sea creatures (ie octopus, crab and lobsters), one of her most memorable activities.

Busan on the trip very good

Aparna_P, Apr 2026
Peter was friendly flexible very informative and lots of fun. Highly recommend. With long distance in Busan highly recommend taking this tour if you’re short on time.

Excellent Tour With Young

ericjpetro, Apr 2026
We did this tour today, April 7, and we feel we have to share our wonderful experience with others. And thank you also to Young, our great, great tour guide. He was fantastic. The pace was perfect; you were never rushing or being idle. We got to see 4 of the 5 beaches in Busan and drove over a couple of bridges. And we visited many interesting places. Young really provided interesting insights as we went from place to place. He was patient, informative and just such a great guy. My wife and I said that doing this with a guide added so much depth and meaning to the day. Seeing these sights alone would just not be the same. A highlight was lunch at Jagalchi fish market. It was such a unique experience and the food was delicious. Overall, it was a 5-star day! We highly recommend this tour.

Exceptional Experience

Lisa_C, Apr 2026
Nick was an outstanding guide and made our Busan tour such a great experience. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the day, making everything feel easy and personalized rather than rushed or scripted. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend booking with him.

Jino was a great guide and driver. The traffic was crazy but he navigated it with ease! Busan is a beautiful city!!

Walkabout Busan

Dawnette_S, Apr 2026
You’ll be led to sites of historical and current-day significance, as well as getting a chance to try local foods. Be prepared for approximately 20,000 steps (not stairs, tho there are some; just walking steps) in this tour. Our guide, Peter, was fantastic and took great care of us!

Lovely relaxed day with Sang

NIKHAIL_M, Apr 2026
Sang was our tour guide and driver and he was simply the coolest! Very patient and friendly - and passionate about his job. Very accommodating and kind. He suggested alternatives when I didn’t really like the meal options. He is so polite and such a gentleman - definitely the best guide in South Korea!! Great transportation between the sites. All the sights are free to see but if you do not want to deal with the admin of taking the subway or ordering an uber between each location then this is a stress free option. Nice small group so no unnecessary waiting.

Enjoyable

Stuart_G, Apr 2026
Saw the things we wanted plus enjoyed the driving tour around Busan. Jade was very knowledgeable about his town. He took lots of photos for us, which was great.

Personal stories a highlight of the tour

Katherine_S, Apr 2026
Great trip for solo travelers looking to see the highlights of Busan. Peter was an excellent guide and I especially appreciated him sharing his personal experience growing up in Gamcheon village. The small group made it easy to meet lots of great people. Pacing of the tour was also excellent.

Amazing Private Busan Tour

John_C, Mar 2026
An absolute pleasure with Iceman as our tour guide. We had a fantastic day touring Busan. He was very conscience about our time to return back to the cruise ship. Overall he made the tour very interesting with the history and stories about each stop. His van was clean and comfortable and was able to navigate the traffic with easy. We rated the tour 10/10 and would recommend him to friends and family. Thanks again Iceman it was a very memorable day.

Wonderful tour experience

Sheila_L, Mar 2026
Our tour guide was Mr Moon Ji Won, and our tour experience was wonderful. Mr Moon did a great job explaining the history and culture of the places we visited as well as various landmarks along the way. He took pictures for us and as promised, showed me the BTS murals at Gamcheon Village. Will definitely request him again next time I visit to see some of the other beautiful sights!

Perfect tour to explore Busan.

Sunny was very pleasant and kept us all on schedule. The small group tour was a perfect way to get a taste of Jeju.

Busan by Jina

ALBERT_T, Mar 2026
Jina was the best tour guide we ever had. She was so sweet and funny. Her English is excellent. She took us to all the Busan highlights in 7 hours and we had a fantastic lunch. We highly recommend this tour.

Great day in Busan

jencesare, Mar 2026
Had a great time with William who looked after our every need considering we needed a lot! He tailored the trip to have the least people around at each stage. Well done.

Diamonds are Great, but Jade is Better!

David_L, Mar 2026
This was a fabulous tour of the highlights in Busan with the right amount of walking, time for eating and even free time for shopping. Our guide and driver, Jade, is the best! Very knowledgeable of Busan as one would expect, but also engaged in conversations about Korean history and current topics. With only 4 of us on the tour, he was able to provide attention to each of us as he engaged in personal conversations as we exchanged stories of ours and his travel experiences. While exploring BIFF, Jade provided recommendations for some of the street food options, not specific vendors but rather the delicacies offered. We've done several tours around the world and Jade was one of the better tour guides we've encountered

Highly recommended for cruise ship visitors.

Colin_R, Feb 2026
After enduring some very ordinary cruise ship organised shore excursions, this small group private tour of Busan was a very welcome change. Our guide Jade was waiting for us at the terminal as promised and he also guaranteed to return us to the ship well before our "all aboard" time, which he did. Jade was very friendly and knowledgeable. He even stepped in to help cook our lunch at the BBQ restaurant. We visited so many of Busan's attractions that we would never have been able to do on our own, or even on any of the ship's excursions. Thank you Jade for a wonderful day and for the standout highlight of our cruise.

Great Tour and Great Guide

Chuck_L, Feb 2026
Jade our guide was terrific. He met us at the port with a nice van and explored Busan for a day. Well worth the money. It was a great tour and far less $$$ that when the ship sells.

Small group full day Busan tour (max 6 people)

Sharmila_R, Feb 2026
Do not recommend! Tour guide never showed up or get in contact with me. I called and text with no answers. I eventually contacted Viatour customer service and they got in contact with him. Very disappointed as we had planed for a one day tour of Busan before heading back to Seoul. That put a damper in our trip. Nevertheless less we went on a bus tour to the beach and made much of the day.

This tour is worth it

Swapna_A, Jan 2026
Wonderful tour! Our guide Jade was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He took us to all of the key sites in Busan. Would recommend this tour.

Our day tour with Peter...

Madhawee_F, Dec 2025
This tour was excellent value for money and covered some of the main attractions of Busan quite efficiently. Our tour guide Jade was very informative, helpful and entertaining and attuned to the needs of the group tailoring the tour as needed. Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour with Peter

Nathan_A, Dec 2025
Great experience with Peter on this tour. He customized it for our small group, shared important cultural and historical facts, provided plenty of free time in key areas to not feel rushed, shared stories of his life growing up in Busan, and was overall a joy to be with as our guide. Highly recommend!
