Kang was an amazing tour guide and driver, he gave us a very good history lesson on the Busan area. I would recommend this tour to anyone thinking of touring Busan.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time exploring with us and that you highly recommend our tour to anyone planning a trip to Busan! Your recognition means the world to our team.
Busan is a city with a rich, dynamic heritage, and we are incredibly proud of KANG’s ability to bring that past to life. Having a guide who serves as both a safe, skilled driver and an amazing historian—delivering a deep, engaging history lesson rather than just showing the sights—is exactly the premium experience we love to provide. It is heartwarming to know that his insightful commentary added so much value and meaning to your journey. We will proudly pass along your beautiful praise and high recommendation to KANG to completely brighten his day!
Gail_G, May 2026
I thought KANG was an amazing host and driver too. We got everywhere we beat crowds, and he had so many informative things to say, especially about Buddhism, so much more than a guidebook.
The tour was just delightful. Also, I think the small group in the van was a real plus, especially when we did the roller coaster bridge. What a view.!!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your tour was just delightful and that you had such an incredible experience exploring with us!
As you perfectly noted, our small group van tours offer a wonderful advantage. They allow for a much more intimate, comfortable vibe and excellent mobility, which is especially thrilling when driving over our famous "roller coaster bridge" (Busan Harbor Bridge)! We are so glad you got to experience that heart-racing, breathtaking view with the comfort and closeness of a small group.
We are incredibly proud of KANG’s exceptional multi-tasking skills as both a safe driver and an amazing host. His brilliant pacing and timing to ensure you arrived everywhere ahead of the crowds is a true testament to his professional expertise. Furthermore, having a guide who can deeply enrich your journey with profound, engaging insights into Buddhism and local history—offering so much more than any guidebook ever could—is exactly the kind of premium experience we strive to deliver. We will proudly pass along your beautiful praise and high recognition to KANG to completely brighten his day!

We arrived in Busan late afternoon and were picked up at the cruise terminal. We had an excellent tour guide, Ya Ya, who took us to many beautiful places including streets lined with cherry trees in blossom. He was able to address all of our special requests and shared a lot of interesting history and facts. We were extremely pleased with our experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Busan.

Emily_G, Mar 2026
Good way to get an overview of Busan and hit the highlights when you only have a day. There were three of us in a comfortable van, and a very friendly and accommodating guide, DK. His English was perfect as he'd spent time as a kid in the US and Canada. The shrine on the coast was beautiful (though touristy), the UN Memorial Cemetery was very moving and educational (well worth the visit - watch the video in the chapel), and the Gamcheon area was an interesting contrast to the super modern sky scrapers. I felt I got a lot out of the 1-day I had in Busan. Very efficient and fun use of time!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review :) We’re glad you had a comfortable and efficient tour with DK, especially with limited time. It’s great to hear his English and guidance made your experience even better. We hope to welcome you again in Korea!
Joann_S, Mar 2026
There was only 3 of us on the small tour so DK was accommodating to change the itinerary for us. He was very informative with the places we went and he even joined us instead of just waiting for us. DK is a great guy with a lot of humor and I would definitely recommend him and the excursion.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely review :) We’re glad you had a comfortable small group experience and that DK made the tour enjoyable with his knowledge and humor. It’s great to hear he made extra effort for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again!
