This was an excellent tour and exactly the type of tour I wanted. :) I got such a good insight about Gamcheon Village and its history, we explored a lot of the area and I also had time to take a quick peek into a shop or two. The views were amazing, I was happy that we came across the BTS murals, but also other art everywhere. I know I will return on a next trip and spend even more time exploring. After mutual agreement (I was the only tourist) we walked further down, paths I would never ever find again, and enjoyed something to drink at a local place. The views of Busan from there were amazing! (the original plan of the tour is the cable car, but I chose to see more of the village and the views, also since heights aren't exactly my forte :D). Later we visited the fish market which of course was interesting, too and gave me some meal inspiration. :D The goodies (tote bag and snacks) were a great touch, too. My guide's English was great, so communication was perfect. My handbag strap decided to come apart during the tour and he found a tailor shop I could visit the next day and get it fixed. And he also sent me some good ideas about further activities in both Busan and Seoul and all of this was super helpful, and there was a happy ending for my bag. :)
Thank you for participating in my walking tour. I also provide my services to solo travelers. Gamcheon Culture Village is the most suitable place to understand Korea's modern and contemporary history. I always feel honored that my tours allow me to introduce Korean history to so many people. I was saddened to see that the strap on your precious handbag broke, but I was so happy to hear that it was completely repaired at the shop I recommended. I provide all my customers with a 40cm x 40cm tote bag and some simple snacks as souvenirs. I hope these souvenirs will help make your tour a more memorable experience. I was concerned that you might find it difficult due to the many stairs and slopes in Gamcheon Culture Village, but thank you for enjoying my tour from start to finish.
Suyang was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. He had great suggestions for other places to see and eat while in Busan and stayed with us in the fish market to help us buy fresh fish and instructed the staff on how to prepare it for our lunch. Would highly recommend!
Thank you for participating in my walking tour. I will continue to work hard to make good memories in Busan for everyone who visits the city.
This might be the best tour I've taken in Korea. Suyang was beyond knowledgeable and answered all of my many questions around Korean culture and history, even outside of Busan topics. I also think I was able to see spots in Busan that I would not have gotten to on other tours. Finally, Suyang has an amazing sense of humor and I really enjoyed having him as a guide!
Thank you for participating in my walking tour. I'm so glad that I was able to help you make wonderful memories in Korea.
Suyang was very knowledgable, professional, fun and passionate about South Korea which enhanced our tour. Loved all aspects of this amazing time.
Thank you for participating in my walking tour. I'm so grateful that more and more people love Korea and its culture.
Such a fantastic walking tour! Starting off in the cultural village, the tour guide, Suyang, knew all the best places to get a good view. He explained the history of the cultural village very clearly, and even brought me a new years goodie bag! From there we walked down through the tombstone village to a coffee shop for a break, then we got a fish cake from a street vendor before checking out the fish market. If you’re looking for a good way to walk around Busan, I recommend this tour and Suyang.
Thank you for joining my walking tour. I was worried because the weather forecast predicted strong winds, but fortunately, the weather was mild during the tour. Gamcheon Culture Village is the perfect place to explain the modern and contemporary history of Korea and Busan. I'm always honored to be able to share this history with you on my tour. There's a woman selling bung-eo-ppang (fish-shaped red bean paste cake) near Jagalchi Market. She always uses a lot of red bean paste, making her bung-eo-ppang delicious. It's a classic Korean winter snack, and I'm always happy to share it with my tour participants.
This was a great tour! The guide was very knowledgeable and gave me options of where to spend our time. Very nice welcome bag with snacks and goodies. Wonderful way to see Busan. I highly recommend!
Thank you for joining my walking tour. I can customize the tour by changing the stops upon request. Basic Itinerary: Gamcheon Culture Village - Songdo Beach - Jagalchi Market Optional Itinerary: Gamcheon Culture Village - Ami tombstone Cultural Village (view of the city and Busan Port) - Jagalchi Market. The locations we visited are ideal for explaining Busan's modern and contemporary history. I am always honored and rewarded to be able to introduce Busan's modern and contemporary history to foreign participants with my tour.
The Gamcheon tour was very interesting and informative. The tour group was just my son and me, so we received personal attention. If you want history in addition to sightseeing, I’d recommend it!
Thank you for joining my walking tour. Gamcheon Culture Village is the perfect place to learn about Korea's modern and contemporary history after the Korean War. While Gamcheon Culture Village is renowned for its vibrant colors and stunning photo opportunities, the locals still struggle financially. I hope my tour will allow travelers to appreciate not only the beauty of the area but also the realities of local life.
Great tour guide - informative and funny. Ventured into areas not likely reviewed if travelling without a guide. Travelled via local bus to the various locations. Enjoyed all the locations we visited
Thank you for participating in my walking tour. The places we visited are deeply related to the Japanese colonial era and the Korean War. I am always trying to explain historical facts to our customers without boredom.
Wow, what an excellent tour we had with Suyang! He was friendly and accomodating, providing us with a wealth of information about not only the sites but Korean life, history and politics. Suyang also provided us with excellent food recommendations for the area in which we were staying in Busan. We absolutely could not have had the same experience without Suyang, thank you! We would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you for participating in my walking tour. With the hope that all the visitors in Busan will make wonderful memories, I provide the customers with the information they need to enjoy their trip to Busan. Today was a wonderful day to enjoy the old city center of Busan and the panoramic view of Busan Port. Thank you!!
I was the only one during the tour so I appreciate Suyang. I enjoyed the tour with him and learned a lot about the culture village.
Thank you for participating in my walking tour. It was the best weather to enjoy walking today. It was a wonderful day on Sunday, enjoying the wonderful scenery of Busan Port and the old city center of Busan and enjoying fruit tea with a chat. Thank you again for participating in my walking tour.
