Itinerary
After your tour guide picks you up at Busan International Cruise Terminal, you will head to Haedong Yonggung Temple. This place offers tourists a chance to know two birds with one stone- head up for second-to-none panoramic views of the ocean against the city, and learn more about traditional Korean religion.
It shows also Haewundae beach scenery Nurimaru APEC House means an APEC conference hall. It is noted for its beautiful, natural landscape accented by dense camellia and pine trees. Nurimaru APEC House has been used as a memorial hall and a prestigious international conference hall since the APEC summit meeting.
The UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea honors UN soldiers from 16 countries and UN aids from five countries that were killed in battle during the Korean War from 1950-1953. This serene park spreads across a grassy plain area of 135,000 square meters. Some notable sites and memorials include: Memorial Service Hall, Memorabilia Hall, two Turkish Monuments, Greek Monument, Australian Monument, British Common Wealth Monument and two ponds. The Memorial Service Hall and the Memorabilia Hall were constructed in 1964 and 1968 respectively. The citizens of Busan dedicated the Main Gate in 1966. There are many annual events held here such as April’s Tributary Ceremony of the Veterans of the Korean War, May’s American Memorial Day, June’s Korean Memorial Day, and October’s UN Ceremony Day.
Here is one historically rich mountainside cultural quarter. It was originally settled by refugees during the Korean War. You will see tiny hillside homes and nifty collection of clever decorative pieces installed by art students. After Gamcheon Culture Village, you will have lunch. Your guide will take you to local restaurant.
Lively, sprawling marketplace with vendors selling street food, home goods & souvenirs.
Because Busan is one of the biggest seaports in South Korea, it says nothing of best seafood. Jagalchi market is the most famous seafood market in all of Korea. You can see every seller yell their bargains and bargain at once. You can try some seafood like squid, octopus, crab, mussels and prawns.
Are you interested in Busan’s modern district? Then hit BIFF Square. There are events such as hand printing of movie celebrities. The 428 meter-long street stretching from the Buyeong Theater in Nampo-dong to the overpass in Chungmu-dong was divided into “Star Street” and “Festival Street,” and on the eve of the festival each year the “Ground Opening the BIFF Square” is held on the street. During the ceremony events such as the hand printing of famous movie celebrities and Nunggot Jeomdeung (snow-flower lighting) take place.

We had an incredible private excursion, and our tour guide Gina made the experience unforgettable! She was knowledgeable, funny, and kept us entertained while sharing so many interesting facts and stories. Gina was also incredibly flexible, tailoring the day to our interests and making sure we got the most out of every stop. It felt like exploring with a friend who knew all the best places. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, personalized, and memorable experience! Make sure to ask for Gina!

Our guide, SEB is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and gave us the best, local Busan experience. I was travelling with my elderly mum and he paid special attention to her, including getting the driver to pick us up conveniently on side roads to minimise my mum from walking on the steep, Busan slopes. His service was beyond our expectations and I really appreciate the experience he has delivered. 5 stars rating 👍🏼

Kassy was an excellent small group host! She was knowledgeable, organized, and kept our tour on track throughout the entire day. We always knew what to expect and never felt rushed or confused. Her planning and attention to detail made the experience completely stress-free. We especially appreciated knowing we would get back to the ship on time without having to worry. Kassy’s professionalism and friendly demeanor made our day even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We were on a small group tour which was great so that you could really learn from the tour guide. Kassy was great and gave opportunities to explore or make a variation of the plan. We had a great time!

We had an excellent tour with Kassy in Busan! She was very thorough in her explanations of the areas we visited. We appreciated visiting the UN Cemetery, the APEC sight and the walking path there was lovely!! We do enjoyed our lunch as well. Kassy was very helpful with ensuring I had a vegetarian and gluten free lunch. That was very much appreciated! The village was beautiful and the fish market was fascinating. We had a lovely time. The port in Busan is beautiful!!

This nonstop tour is packed with sightseeing. Busan is a sprawling city and it would not be possible to see all the sights included in this tour during a cruise port day on your own. Our guide, Kassy, was amazing and kept the group on schedule as we did not have a lot of extra time to waste. She was easy to understand and passionate about leading the tour. This tour group was much smaller and significantly less cost than ship excursions.

Great small tour! Luke, our tour guide was excellent, spoke perfect English, took us to all the best spots, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. There were only 4 of us on this tour so it was a real treat! My husband and i and only 2 others. The van was super clean and comfortable. Even stopped for a very tasty lunch. We had a great day!
