My husband and I had a wonderful shore excursion thanks to our fantastic tour guide, Irene. She was very helpful, caring, and attentive, making the whole day smooth and enjoyable. We felt so well looked after that I’ve already planned to book with her again when we return in October. Irene is outstanding — we highly recommend her!

Busan is a very large city and to cover the highlights in one day is difficult without a knowledgeable guide like Irene and her great driver. Irene kept us in touch before we arrived and offered good advice. Because we were a small group she was also able to offer flexibility.

    The perfect excursion in Busan!

    Pamela_W, Jun 2026
    This was an excellent excursion and a great way to see Busan. Irene picked us up right at the cruise dock, it was a very easy process. She adjusted our itinerary based on our likes. We actually only had one other couple with us on our excursion. We went through the fish market, which is amazing. For lunch, she found the perfect place for us. A place that would have chicken while the other couple went and had a wonderful seafood meal. They were very good with time management and making sure we made it back to the cruise on time and ready for our departure. Irene made sure that we had a wonderful experience.

    A beautiful day in Busan

    Dawn_M, Jun 2026
    We spent a wonderful day exploring Busan with Irene. She was kind, thoughtful, and worked hard to make sure our day went smoothly as we visited several of the city’s highlights. We especially appreciated her warm personality and the care she put into making our experience special. One of the most memorable touches was the personalized photo album she created for us during the tour. It was an unexpected and thoughtful souvenir that we will enjoy long after our trip is over. Irene made sure we were comfortable throughout the day, helped us navigate each stop, and gave us plenty of time to explore and enjoy the sights at our own pace. Her kindness and enthusiasm for ensuring her guests have a pleasant experience were evident from start to finish. Thank you, Irene, for helping us create happy memories in Busan. We wish you all the best and hope to see your tours continue to grow and evolve in the future.

    We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide!

    Irene is prompt, accommodating and a perfect tour guide. Busan exceeded my expectations entirely because of her carefully curated itinerary. Her restaurant recommendation for lunch was spot on. She was flexible enough to included any special requests too. Thank you Irene.

    Busan Private Tour.

    Wilma_A, May 2026
    We enjoyed all the places we visited. Our tour guide Irene was very pleasant to talk to, very knowledgeable about Busan, South Korea, very accommodating by giving us choices what to eat and what we want to see. My husband and I have mobility problem so we have to stay in the van while everyone walked to the Temple. Our driver let us stay in the van and entertained us by showing a video of the Temple, also, very knowledgeable as he was able to answer all our questions. Very safe driver. We were 10 in our group and we surely had fun. Thank you Irene and to our driver, sorry I can pronounce his name.

    Fantastic way to see Busan

    Catherine_S, May 2026
    This was a great experience and an easy way to see Busan. Irene’s communication was excellent before the excursion and she met us at the cruise terminal. The minivan was very comfortable and the driver was excellent in the public holiday traffic. We had plenty of time at all the stops we had agreed on with an extra stop of a brilliant view of the harbour. We had a delicious lunch at a Korean restaurant and great coffee at a traditional coffee house. Looking back at our photos, we had an amazing experience and really enjoyed Irene’s interesting and helpful company during the day.

    Highly recommend tour for cruisers

    emmanuella_a, Apr 2026
    It was a great value tour and our tour guide Irene and driver put in so much effort to see we had a lovely time and got to see up to 6 different sites before our return to our cruise ship. It was also a lovely day with great weather.

    Irene was an amazing your guide. We had the opportunity to see so much of Busan and have a delightful lunch of bulgogi.

    Travel in style with Mr. Kim

    Brian_G, Mar 2026
    Mr. Kim took us to all the highlights of Busan and explained each ones significance. His English is very good. He had a good sense of humor and was very knowledgeable of his town.

    One day in Busan

    Busan Your Way

    Jane_W, Mar 2026
    Irene created a tour based on our requests. It was a well organized tour. We decided we wanted to see the famous Mosmo coffee roaster at the last minute and she was able to pivot easily. Her driver was exceptional. This is a sample of our plan: itinerary on March 1st Cruise ship pick up 7:50am Cheongsapo skywalk Skycapsule ride (blue line park in Heaundea) HeadongYonggungsa Temple Mosmo Coffee Lunch Indoor Market (it was cold and windy for us) Gamcheon culture village Cruise ship terminal drop 3:00pm

    Busan day trip from cruise ship

    Donna_B, Apr 2025
    Irene was an amazing tour guide nothing was to much trouble. We went to the beach and I saw Busan X the sky and that it had Starbucks the highest in the world and I collect the cups. It wasn’t on the itinerary and it wasn’t open but she organised the day to get us back there to have a look and get my cup. We also saw the skywalk, Haedong Younggung temple great views had a wonderful Korean BBQ for lunch, then the fish markets really interesting, Irene even bought us waffles at a market as we didn’t have any cash on us. The final stop was Gamcheon cultural village which was very interesting. I would definitely recommend Irene as she went out of her way to make the day perfect for us.

    Hello It was nice to have a tour with you. If I have a chance next time, I think it would be good to tour again. Please contact me when you visit Busan again. Thank you ^_^
