All sights listed on site but not actually visited

Hmmm… tour guide? More just a driver. HUGE language barrier which made the tour very quiet. Didn’t realize it was just 2 of us. It was nice to be driven everywhere but had very little conversation about the areas. I felt this tour was more just a driver service, you pretty much have to read signs to know what the places were. . Frank was helpful but he wasn’t part of the tour he was just a phone call away. We didn’t get to see everything listed if not we had to take a taxi back. So told Frank we didn’t need to see Busan Tower. Songjeong beach we didn’t even stop it was a drive by sight. Never even heard of Nampodong or gukje market because it wasn’t even offered. If you take this $180 tour make sure you have someone that speaks English so that the tour becomes more of a tour knowing about the areas we visited. Not really worth the $180 paid unless you speak Korean. But made the best of it. I had a better time with my $110 tour. Make sure you get a timeline of visiting the sights.

Dear Sherry I will explain that about Korean Driver with transport only. it support when you moving the tour translator as you need it, as All about itineraries decide you and driver. but not explain about each area, Unfortunately, you did book is very less cost, It is not private tour with guide. So, If you need better service, please get a private tour with guide and pay more and have comfortable an enjoy the trip ( the cost USD 500 -USD 600 ) thank you and best regards frank, yi

Full, fun day in Busan!

My husband and I had a fabulous day. Mr. Frank was friendly, super flexible, knowledgeable, and fun. We had a couple of places we wanted to see and asked him to take us to other places we should see. By the end of the 9-hour day, we had gone to: 1) Haedong Yonggung Temple 2) Jagalchi Market 3) Gamcheon Culture Village 4) United Nations Memorial Cemetery 5)Haeundae Beach Sky Capsule 6) a local place for a delicious lunch We couldn't have seen/ experienced most of these places on our own due to time and transportation limitations. Frank gave us background information for every place we went and made the day flow from one place to another effortlessly. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this tour.
