[Hotel afhentning] Busan Private UNESCO Tongdosa & Gourmet Day Tour

Nice temple and good restaurant. Jina provided some good insights into both the temple and Korean culture. I would highly recommend booking.

We loved our tour with William as our guide. William was very knowledgeable and a great guide! Lunch was delicious…the best we’ve had so far in Korea.

The tour of Tongdosa Temple was the highlight of my stay in Busan. Thank you to Solomon for sharing his knowledge with me.

We met our guide BK at the hotel for the drive to Tongdosa. It was a very leisurely private tour with stops for coffee along the way. BK was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a very good introduction to the temple and its history. After the temple we drove to the town of Eonyang and had lunch at a restaurant that served the famous Eonyang Bulgogi - a highly local and enjoyable experience. Overall we had a wonderful time and we highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a Korean cultural experience.

Solomon was a terrific guide the entire day. Our trip to Tongdosa was beautifully planned and finished with lunch at an exceptional restaurant. Solomon let us walk a beautiful riverside path to the temple and met us at the entrance, explaining the rock carvings, the statuary, the gates and cemetery areas. The temple buildings and paintings were beautiful and he took care to educate us about the history and details. If you want to learn about Sarina and find where they are located, you’ll have to take the tour!

My private trip to Tongdosa temple from Busan was fantastic. My tour guide was Mina who speaks fluent English, and she is very pleasant. Mina explained to me very clearly about the meaning of the 3 gates that lead to Togdosa temple, and arrangement of the different buildings in the temple complex, and each Buddha statue represents in each building. The architectonic design and the golden Buddhas and the artistic Tangkas in each building make the Tongdosa Temple a unique temple complex in South Korea. Tongdosa is a one of the many UNESCO World Heritage sites in South Korea, and it’s a must visit site for any visitor to South Korea. The most impressive hall is where the Buddha’s life is depicted in 6 Tangkas that fill the entire back wall. I highly recommend walking the long path in the pine forest next to a stream to access the Tongdosa Temple complex.

We had a fantastic time. Our guide Ms Jun took the time to share the long history of Tongdosa Temple in great detail. The temple was so beautiful. Ms Jun was quite superb in English which my husband much appreciated :) We also enjoyed a delicious traditional Korean lunch. The day we took this tour was absolutely beautiful. Much to clip in our memory bank. Definitely recommend this trip!!!
