Our tour guide Dai Young is a local so he knew the area well and gave a cultural flavor to the tour and easily interacted with vendors in the village and market. He readily answered our questions and matched the tour to our fitness level. He communicated with us prior to tour to make sure all was on track. The small bus out of Gamcheon Village was a bonus experience to the tour!
We really enjoyed our tour with Dai. He took us to all the places we wanted to see and shared a lot of interesting information about Busan.
Really liked the tour. Dai, the guide, was full of life and great fun. Gave us loads of info as we walked and took us to some great places to see what Busan was made of.
Salomé is an excellent French guide who masters the place perfectly. Very pleasant and attentive! Many thanks to Salomé!
