Sofia took us on a full day of beautiful scenery, historical sites and local artistry. It is a long day but very worth it. Highly recommended for first timers to Busan. Thank you Sofia again. You were wonderful.

I took the tour with Choi and she was marvelous. She took her time explaining things, was very knowledgeable and absolutely sweet. As a solo traveler that was a great way to get immersed in a culture and learn more about Busan. Choi was also encouraging to make new friends. I had a great time and met really cool people. I would strongly recommend.

    Jonas is the best!

    Anonymous, Sep 2026
    Jonas was a wonderful guide and we had a great bus driver as well! These sites in Busan are really far apart from eachother, and there’s no way to view them all in a day, unless you do a bus tour like this. Highly recommend if you’re on a time crunch and only have a few days in Busan.

    Great trip, Kang the tour...

    Carol_W, Sep 2026
    Great trip, Kang the tour guide was excellent very informative, took pictures for all the group and generally very helpful

    It is definitely a full...

    Valerie_C, Sep 2026
    It is definitely a full day tour. Erica our tour guide gave a succinct overview of the sites, Korean history as appropriate, and kept us on schedule. She knows the perfect picture spots and helps take them. The grilled seafood lunch place was ok, would recommend walk around the train station area and explore other eating choices.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you sincerely for sharing such thoughtful feedback about your full-day experience. We are pleased that your guide provided clear historical context, kept the day running smoothly, and helped you capture memorable photographs from the best vantage points. Your candid comment about the grilled seafood lunch is equally valuable, particularly your suggestion to allow time to explore the dining choices around the train station area; we will keep this in mind as we continue refining the overall experience. We are grateful for your trust in Love Korea and for recognizing the care and organization your guide brought to the tour. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back to Korea for another thoughtfully planned journey.

    Good, diverse tour.

    Adrian_A, Sep 2026
    It was a good tour that included visits to a temple, the UN cemetery, and a picturesque neighborhood. There was also a short train ride. The tour ended in the fish market which was impressive. The guide and driver, Yaho, was upbeat and informative. Good job!

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    It was truly an honor to have you travel with us in Busan! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the diverse itinerary, from the temple and UN Cemetery to the scenic neighborhoods and vibrant fish market.

    Busan Tour

    G_D, Sep 2026
    Excellent tour experience. Tour guide (Joe) has knowledge in places we went. He is very professional and speak clear english. He is very straight forward. As a first time tourist in Busan, I suggest to choose lunch restaurant that servers speak english and decent in appearance and looks clean. The bus we used had issue in air conditioning. The cooling temp is not enough for full capacity. The bus driver is good and safe driver. No issue during driving.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you sincerely for sharing such a thoughtful account of your first visit to Busan. We are pleased that your guide’s knowledge, professionalism, clear English, and straightforward approach helped you feel well informed throughout the day, and we are equally glad that the driver provided a safe and steady journey. Your comments regarding the lunch restaurant are important to us, particularly the need for clearer English communication and a setting that feels clean and welcoming to international travelers. We also appreciate you highlighting that the bus air conditioning was not sufficient at full capacity; guest comfort is an essential part of the experience, and your observation will help us review this carefully with our team and partners. Thank you for placing your trust in Love Korea, and we hope to welcome you back for another comfortable and memorable journey in Korea.

    sandra_m, Sep 2026
    Thank you to Joe our host for the day. His English and enthusiasm was phenomenal. The trip encompassed all the bits of Busan that would have taken us 2 days to cover independently. Totally recommend this trip … found a great beer stop at the end.

    Wonderful hot spots tour in Busan, highly recommended

    Busan Tour

    Gonzalo_L, Jul 2026
    It’s *mandatory* to write an opinion, which is weird. The tour in general was quite good. I would potentially skip the capsule tour if you are used to beautiful sea sights. The rest was nice!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your candid impressions, especially since leaving a written comment felt unnecessarily mandatory. We are glad that you found the Busan tour enjoyable overall and that the day’s other experiences made a positive impression. Your perspective on the capsule ride is particularly valuable, as travelers who are already familiar with beautiful coastal scenery may experience that portion differently; we will keep this thoughtful observation in mind as we continue refining how we present and pace the itinerary. We truly appreciate your trust in LOVE KOREA and hope to welcome you back for another opportunity to discover a different side of Korea.
