Amazing experience
I had a great day trip to Geoje island with our guide Kimmy. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Kimmy created friendly and comfortable atmosphere throughout the day and made sure that everyone was having good time.
The Geoje and Oedo islands are hidden gems of South Korea. With breathtaking views and beautiful botanical garden it’s a must when you are in Busan. It was one of the best trips I have ever been to and can highly recommend it.

I loved this tour and Teo is the best
This was one of the best, if not the best tour, I have ever been on. I loved everything about it, but what really made it special was the tour guide. Teo was absolutely incredible and a great guide. He was so easy to talk and made the experience extra special. If you can take the tour with Teo I absolutely recommend it!!!

Super worth it!
This was an amazing experience I’m so happy I experienced it. Sherry did a great job being attentive and communicative with both Mandarin and English speakers. Super friendly and funny. Hands down would take this tour again. All of the locations were breathtaking. Geoje is such a beautiful island. Adequate time was given at each place. Some were a small challenge to get through as there were a few hills you had to go up and down but even walking at your own pace you’d still have enough time to enjoy each spot.
