Kenny's kindness and excellent service were outstanding throughout. He explained the places we visited in detail and gave us the freedom to explore them. We highly recommend this enjoyable experience.
Patrick was a nice person and the trip was great.
This was the perfect day trip to Pohang! Our guide was Sean, and he was kind and patient and made sure we got to each attraction on time. We followed the exact itinerary listed, and we had the perfect amount of free time at ways place to explore and take pictures. We had a small group of 8 people and the places we went to weren’t crowded at this time in the season. I would recommend this trip to anyone that has an extra day to explore outside of Busan.
We spent a day out of Busan and visited places we would not have been able to see alone. The service with the minivan is very convenient for travel and the guide is friendly and professional. Recommended.
The tour guide was nice and friendly. He drove car to take us all of spots, and talked stories and backgrounds. It worth to come again or recommend for friends.
Great experience with a small tour group! The driver/tour guide was exceptional and his driving was outstanding! Park Jong-ho was one of the best guides that we’ve had and we travel a lot. Thank you!
Highly recommend this tour. We had a great time. Taejung Park was our guides name and he told us a lot about the activities we were doing. Unfortunately it rained and we did not go on the spacewalk but we did take pictures of it. The fish market was good, the restaurant we had lunch in was amazing. So much food. Crab was delicious.
The best day trip ever - the scenery, the people I met on the tour, the attractions and wonderful guide, Jeong ho - a fantastic day.
