    Incredible Tour Experience in Busan – Highly Recommended!

    Jason_K, Oct 2025
    Our recent tour in Busan was absolutely wonderful, thanks to our amazing guide, Kay. From start to finish, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly flexible in accommodating our needs throughout the day. Creating a great tour experience takes preparation and collaboration, and Kay truly excelled at both. Leading up to the day, she worked closely with us to understand our interests and helped design an itinerary that perfectly balanced sightseeing, local culture, and a few hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. On the day of the tour, Kay’s easygoing personality and thoughtful approach made everything flow seamlessly. She adjusted plans on the spot when needed and made sure we were comfortable and engaged. We left Busan with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation for the city, and gratitude for such a well-organized and personalized experience. Highly recommend booking a tour with Kay — she made our time in Busan unforgettable! Hopefully will see her again on our next trip to Busan.

    Excellent tour, very knowledgeable and friendly guide. She was a great representative of her city and provided a great experience as we traveled around the city for over 7 hours.

    Beautiful Day in Busan with Kay!

    Robert_S, Oct 2024
    Our guide, Kay Seo, was amazing! She pre-ordered Sky Capsule tickets for us to ensure we had a private car, went out of her way to accommodate our vegetarian preferences & found a tremendous lunch spot. She offered a wonderful overview of Busan throughout the day. From the striking hillside temple to a wonderful trip through the fish market, we had an incredible day.

    Great tour with a local

    Bobby_M, Jul 2024
    We had an excellent tour with Min Choi. He contacted us before the tour asking about our specific requests and preferences. He arrived on time and made sure me, my wife, and our 10 year old son were all having a good time. He took us to an excellent pork rice soup restaurant which we all enjoyed. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience.

    Our trip with Kassy as our guide

    Kim_L, Jun 2024
    Our group of 9 enjoyed our tour in Korea more than any other day of our trip sailing around Japan and Busan. We really lucked out with Kassy. She was well prepared and extremely knowledgeable. Her positive attitude and willingness to please made the day interesting and fun. She was the BEST tour guide we experienced booking through Viator. Her English was impeccable making it easy to understand her explanation of different sites and her answering our many questions. She complied with our every request and found a lunch spot that will long be remembered. The Bibimbog and bulgogi were delicious. Treat her well. She is just too valuable to lose.

    The Full-Day Customizable Private Busan Highlight Tour was the best way to see the sights in Busan that I chose to see

    CHARLES_D, Nov 2023
    Jones was my private tour guide. He is very pleasant and speaks English fluently. We planned the day together. I asked him to take me to Hongbeopsa Temple to see the large Buddha. It turned out to be a fascinating experience, as I could lisren and watch the Buddhist monks chants. Then we went to the famous Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which is the only Buddhist temple next to the ocean. Then we went to Jagalchi Fish Market, the largest fish market in South Korea. Then we went up to the top of the Busan Tower to see spectacular views of Busan just before sunset. This was a very enjoyable day in Busan.

    Perfect Busan day with Sangyoung Bae

    Rebecca_B, Oct 2023
    If you have the opportunity to spend a day in Busan with Sangyoung Bae (Song), don't hesitate! This was our favorite tour of our 16 day trip. Song is young, full of energy, speaks perfect English, is very knowledgable about Busan and Korea, is a great driver and made the full day tour really fun. We highly recommend this experience, especially if you have the opportunity to spend it with Song.

    Face paced and full of knowledge!

    Kim_D, Oct 2023
    We were a group of 7 adults and 4 kids with a very ambitious itinerary. Our tour guide Jay was very knowledgeable with the history and culture of Busan and she made sure we ticked off every site on our itinerary. Jay also took us to a local restaurant tucked away in an alley way which we all absolutely loved including the kids! Jay was so lovely and patient with all of us and was amazing with the kids!

    Wonderful 5 star day in Busan!

    Elizabeth_R, Oct 2023
    What an amazing couple Song and Jinee were! We learned so much about Busan and Korean history and enjoyed a wonderful tour in a lovely and spacious car. We now consider them friends. Highly recommend!!

    Awesome Tour! We highly recommend it!

    Franco_M, Jul 2023
    We had so much fun and we highly recommend you take their tour! Our tour guide was named Mina and our driver was nicknamed Mr. Ri. They were awesome we got to see so much and learned so much about Busan. Mina is great with kids so if you have any kids in the group you'll be in good hands. We were able to see all the main highlights and were very happy. Mina really enjoys hosting us and showing us all the wonderful things in Busan. If you're looking for a tour where you can see the highlights and be able to see some sights off the beaten path then you'll want to book this tour, you won't regret it. One tip I have is if you have certain sights you want to see share them with Mina so she can craft the perfect schedule for you. Busan is real big so might be hard to see everything in one day but they'll do there best. Thank you Mina and Mr. Ri. We hope to visit Busan again and take your tour again to see the other awesome sights of Busan that we didn't get a chance to see.

    Friendly

    MONA_K, Jun 2023
    The tour guid was very friendly and knowledgeable. The car was clean and comfortable. We ate local favorite meals, mil-mun, for lunch. It was great.

    Great Tour!

    Natalie_S, Jun 2023
    We had a wonderful tour with Willow! She was very informative and able to answer all of our questions about Busan. We saw so much, much more than if we had attempted to see the city on our own. She was also willing to fully customize our experience. Highly recommend.

    Awesome tour!

    Jon_A, May 2023
    Mina is an excellent tour guide! The tour was fun, insightful and very flexible. Great for a chill group

    Fantastic Busan experience

    Johannes_v, May 2023
    Mina, our tour guide did an outstanding job, considered all our interest and provided best information on this great place. It was an excellent experience. We are so impressed by this great country and amazed by the fantastic sites and locations we were shown.

    Busan is so worth it

    Fernanda_L, May 2023
    We had a lovely tour. Beautiful sightseeing. Our tour guide was very understanding and made the perfect itinerary for us. Thank you

    Mimi is the only guide you will ever need in Busan.

    Julie_G, May 2023
    Mimi is a perfect guide. She very quickly understood what we wanted to see and the best way to organize the day. She gave us just the right amount of information. She is smart, sweet, and loves her city.

    Awesome day in Busan

    Darlene_C, May 2023
    Our guide show us wonderful lighthouses in Busan. We especially enjoyed seeing the oldest lighthouse as well as the baseball lighthouse and soccer lighthouse as well as all of the others. Excellent tour!!!

    Amazing

    Mavis_N, Apr 2023
    Jay was our guide and she was amazing. If you want to book this company, please ask for Jay. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable. She is very knowledgeable in this business. She is also very kind.

    Great day tour of Busan

    Jeremy_L, Apr 2023
    We really enjoyed our tour around Busan with Mimi! Our trip was somewhat time constrained, since we only had a day to explore and see some highlights. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, and she managed the limited time very well to maximize what we could see (distances between some sites like the Gamcheon Culture Village and the temple are quite significant, so good time management is important). She was able to add interesting detail in her explanations and adapt things for us. We came away feeling like we got a great overview of the city.

    Awesome tour guide!

    Jennifer_W, Apr 2023
    William was an amazing tour guide! He was so patient in answering all of our questions. It was awesome getting an insiders view of Busan. Highly recommend!

    Amazing tour

    Casey_R, Apr 2023
    We had an amazing time on our tour with Mina and our driver. The day went so smoothly and she was very knowledgeable about Busan. We were able to see all of the places in Busan that we wanted to in a single day because of Mina’s planning. We would highly recommend this tour!

    Dongmin was the perfect guide to a great day!

    James_B, Mar 2023
    Our guide Dongmin is a true professional! We were allowed to fully customize this tour but loved that he had several pre-planned days we could choose from which had a wonderful range of locations and difficulty levels. He was early waiting for us with a very comfortable transportation. His English was phenomenal and he took note of some mobility issues in our group and worked them in without hesitation. Also loved that he proactively took numerous photos of our group for us without us having to ask. He knows his city and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Dongmin!

    Great Tour

    Kathy_F, Mar 2023
    Our guide, Jay Song, was excellent. The weather was horrible the day of our tour, but Jay took good care of us, made sure we were safe and comfortable, and showed us the many beautiful sites in Busan.

    We had a great day!

    MeiYenPeggy_S, Mar 2023
    We enjoyed our customized tour of Busan, with Mimi as our tour guide. MImi as knowledgeable and awesome

    Perfect tour with the perfect guide.

    Erick_R, Dec 2022
    Our tourguide, Mimi is the Best of the world: kind, polite, inteligent, cute and thoughtful. My family and I were very pleased with all her attention, knowledge and it was the perfect tour. Definetly we wouldn't be able to know so many places in a day without this tour.

    Excellent tour guide, Willow Kim and Busan highlight tour

    Penny_L, Dec 2022
    We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Willow Kim who is very knowledgeable, great planner and kind. She is indeed very professional and her explanation on the tour sites that we visited were explicit and interesting. My son dropped his phone in the fish market, and she went above and beyond to look for it. Highly recommend this tour, which included the highlights of Busan and most importantly Willow is highly commendable. She is one of the best tour guides that I ever encountered.

    Beautiful Busan with a wonderful guide.

    Sayak_C, Oct 2022
    If you’re in Busan definitely go for this experience. Our guide, Willow was the best and we had a wonderful time with her exploring Busan..from customising our pickup point and pickup time and giving us a top notch personalised experience to taking us to the places in Busan we could not miss…we experienced 8 hours of Busan we would not miss for anything. From exploring the picturesque Haedong Younggung temple to the walking and shopping in the quaint little streets of Gamcheon to climbing to the top of the Busan tower and experiencing the city lights from high up and playing various games..it was a perfect day. Thanks Willow and we hope to see you soon next time we are in Busan…

    Go with Miss Jay Song... She has the Key to the City of Busan

    Darion_H, Sep 2022
    Miss Jay Song is a most excellent tour guide! She is a local and made us feel at home. She personalized our experience from the beginning to the end. For instance, she met us at our hotel with a sign bearing our name, and took a moment to ask how we wanted to arrange the site visits during the tour. She gave us water and asked if the vehicle temperature was fine. Then, we were off on our adventure! During the tour, we most enjoyed the temple and lunch with her. She gave us religious insights regarding Buddhism and helped us understand why Korean cuisine has so much flavor, nutrients and variety. With all of that stated, we are ready to take another tour with her. I would be remiss if I did not mention how kind she was. She was our personal translator during shopping and when we needed help at the train station. She literally wanted to wait with us and make sure we had no issues getting on the train. Right before she left us, she gave us more water for the journey and told us to contact her if when we come back to Korea (she gave us her business card). She is truly special!
