The pick-up and drop-off were smooth and on time, and the guide made sure we arrived at the train station on schedule, adjusting the itinerary accordingly, which we appreciated. However, most of the trip felt more like self-guided sightseeing—the guide often waited outside while we explored on our own, except at the first temple. The explanations were quite limited and lacked depth. Overall, while the logistics were well handled, the experience did not feel worth the price of a private tour.
We were interested in seeing sights in the north and west sides of Busan. We requested a specific itinerary and BK was very helpful in making it happen. We were late to book tickets on the Sky Capsule, but he was able to get us tickets last minute. Young was our tour guide for the day and shared excellent information at all of the sites. I would highly recommend this tour.
Tour provider was efficient, communicative and organized from start to finish. Tour itself was memorable and educational. Our family of 12 enjoyed a memorable day sightseeing in beautiful Busan with our tour guide, Linda. As our cruise ship was only docked for a limited number of hours at the port, she was flexible in changing the itinerary to accommodate our schedule. She was a wealth of information, gave in-depth overviews of the culture, the sights and personable…she connected with each member of our party, including our grandchildren! She recommended a wonderful fresh seafood restaurant as we wanted to try fresh octopus and crabs for lunch and helped us with our orders. It was the best seafood lunch we’ve had. Thank you Linda, for sharing your knowledge about Busan, for your kindness and generosity. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide!
Our English speaking guide (DK) was a fabulous resource for our customized half day tour. His knowledge of the sites we sought to visit, and the way he accommodated a short side detour to see some interesting modern architecture, really made the experience for us… and he as invaluable when we stopped at local-only street vendors for ordering assistance. If we come back to Bussn, we’d make a whole day either DK. Great local dude!
Everything was perfect! From planning the itinerary with BK to the actual day of the tour with our guide William. We were right on schedule and we hit all the stops we wanted. Highly recommended!
It was a hot day, as expected at this time of year, so we had chosen this tour as it kept us mainly inside an air conditioned vehicle and this didn't disappoint. We had an amazing tour guide in CK who was flexible and understood that we wanted to go to Busan X The Sky, which we'd prebought tickets for (although only for the four of us, which was a concern when CK joined us, only to discover that tour guides dont need a ticket), and then we were happy to go wherever he suggested. After crossing the Diamond Bridge on our way to X the Sky, we had no other must do's, so CK suggested we visit the APEC Conference Centre in a very nice park further around the bay and this was ideal and a beautiful setting. I would definitely recommend both the tour and CK in particular who was friendly and really engaged with us as a family.
Booked a trip for my husband , son and myself for a tour of Busan Korea while we were on cruise ship. Due to mobility issues we needed to get as close as possible to sites without excessive walking and wanted to see as much of the area as possible. Right from time of booking we were impressed with communication and follow up. Our guide, Danny was probably one of the best guys we have ever had. He was personable and attentive, and very considerate of my husband’s mobility issues. He took us to sites that we would not have otherwise been able to see and stayed with us throughout the day to guide us including taking us right up to the cruise ship at the end of the day to avoid excess walking . We have done many trips in thepast, but Denny’s attention to details exceeded all expectations. It was such great use of our time!! . I have no hesitation and recommending him to others as a top notch tour guide . Korea Discovery ( booked through Vistor ) is excellent in all areas and we especially enjoyed our guide Danny. Thank you to Korea Discovery !
Communication was excellent. Driver/guide Daisy was awesome! She was there ready to pick us up. Nice newer clean car. She asked what we wanted to if anything change on the itinerary and took it from there. She was very friendly day, knowledgeable and took alot of pictures on her phone that she edited and sent to me. Highly recommend.
We had a fabulous tour of Busan with our incredible tour guide Seb. Everything was very well organized and ran smoothly. Seb guided us through the highlights of the city and made sure we saw some hidden spots that offered a unique perspective. Seb is very knowledgeable and offered anecdotes and commentary that only a local guide can provide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Busan.
We had such a special day with our guide Jino!!! He planned the day beautifully and it was a perfect mix of our interests and his suggestions. He was so patient with us and our kids loved him. Everything went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Busan is such a beautiful city and Jino was the perfect guide.
