Wonderful experience!

5.00An amazing tour! Enjoyed every minute of our tour. Our guide was wonderful, very patient and understanding of a big group with small children. She explained everything and arranged so that we would board our ship at the appropriate time for sailing. Our driver met us at every meeting point and the bus was impeccably clean. Thank you to both!
Enjoyable and Amazing

5.00A huge thank you to our amazing driver and guide, Jun! My family and I absolutely loved our tour and had the best time exploring Busan with him. He showed us the warmest hospitality during our 7-day stay. Jun is so friendly and helpful, and he truly went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests. Plus, his great English made communication a breeze. He made our trip unforgettable! Our big family consists of elderly and young kids, yet he made us enjoy the whole trip smoothly. Thank you Korea Joy Tour for the arrangements too.

5.00We were planning to rent a van and drive around gyeongju and Busan, but there are 13 of us. We game across Korea joy tour on google search, and they provide a private van service that could accommodate 13 of us. We contacted them through whatsapp and they are really responsive. Arrangement for transportation was efficient, pick up at gyeongju ktx station, and we had a day tour around gyeongju and another day trip to Busan. Mr Jun, our driver and guide for the 2 days was really reliable, helpful and friendly, could communicate well in English. Highly recommended if you re looking for private transportation in South Korea

5.00We booked this private Gyeongju tour last minute in the morning, and the tour agency was very responsive and managed to arrange everything smoothly for us. Jay, was more than just a driver, he felt like a friend and tour guide to us. He could communicate well in both Mandarin and English, which made the journey very comfortable and enjoyable. He was also very thoughtful, preparing umbrellas and towels for us, and even helping us carefully when getting down from the car on slippery roads. Highly recommended service, and we would definitely book again if we return to Korea.
The car was comfortable...
