What To Expect
Dongbaekseom
Dongbaekseom (Camellia Island): This charming island at the edge of Haeundae offers one of the most scenic coastal walks in Busan. As you stroll along the beautiful beach and rocky shoreline, you’ll be surrounded by lush camellia trees and pine forests that create a peaceful, refreshing atmosphere. The path leads you to the APEC House, a striking architectural landmark built for the 2005 APEC Summit. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views of the sparkling ocean and the iconic Diamond Bridge stretching across the water. - The walk is approximately 1 km (0.6 miles) along a well‑maintained wooden deck that includes a few stair sections. If you prefer an easier route, a flat alternative path is also available, making the experience enjoyable for all visitors. - The time spent at each location may vary depending on the group’s pace.
Haeundae Dalmaji-gil Road
Dalmaji-gil (Moontan Road): This scenic hillside next to Haeundae Beach is known as Dalmaji-gil, or Moontan Road, a beloved spot for both locals and visitors. As you drive along the winding coastal road, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the deep blue ocean, pine-covered slopes, and the striking line of modern skyscrapers that shape Haeundae’s skyline. In spring, the road becomes even more magical as the cherry blossom lane bursts into bloom, creating a beautiful pink canopy along the way. It’s one of the most picturesque drives in Busan, offering a perfect blend of nature and city scenery.

5.00We had an amazing tour in Busan. Our guide Peter was very punctual, friendly, and professional. Although the tour was scheduled for six people, it ended up being just the two of us, which made the experience feel very personal. Peter showed us many of the best places in Busan and drove us around in a very clean and comfortable car. He is also an excellent photographer and helped us take some great pictures along the way. One of the highlights was trying local cuisine. He explained the differences between the dishes and helped us choose the best items on the menu. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a perfect way to explore Busan. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visit
Would highly recommend this friendly full day tour.

5.00An excellent opportunity to see and taste the city of Busan. Our driver/guide Jino was prompt courteous and informative. He took our small group of five on a scenic and entertaining tour of Busan, even taking us to a Korean restaurant to sample the local cuisine.

5.00Had a great time with William who looked after our every need considering we needed a lot! He tailored the trip to have the least people around at each stage. Well done.

5.00William assisted us all the way and believe me, we needed it. He tailored our tour so the most difficult areas were first up and told us this was so and that it would be easier after.( our mobility was a problem) and he found and managed the best parking, stayed with us and assisted with as much as needed. Told us all the local knowledge and we went to a great restaurant on his recommendation too. Excellent thanks William.
Diamonds are Great, but Jade is Better!

5.00This was a fabulous tour of the highlights in Busan with the right amount of walking, time for eating and even free time for shopping. Our guide and driver, Jade, is the best! Very knowledgeable of Busan as one would expect, but also engaged in conversations about Korean history and current topics. With only 4 of us on the tour, he was able to provide attention to each of us as he engaged in personal conversations as we exchanged stories of ours and his travel experiences. While exploring BIFF, Jade provided recommendations for some of the street food options, not specific vendors but rather the delicacies offered. We've done several tours around the world and Jade was one of the better tour guides we've encountered
Great intro to Busan

5.00Robin was a great guide.Along with a family of 3 my wife and I saw the highlights plus had a chance to eat lunch in a local restaurant--we were the only non-locals there-- plus walked thru local market. Also stopped at tea house. 5 stars.
Highly recommended for cruise ship visitors.

5.00After enduring some very ordinary cruise ship organised shore excursions, this small group private tour of Busan was a very welcome change. Our guide Jade was waiting for us at the terminal as promised and he also guaranteed to return us to the ship well before our "all aboard" time, which he did. Jade was very friendly and knowledgeable. He even stepped in to help cook our lunch at the BBQ restaurant. We visited so many of Busan's attractions that we would never have been able to do on our own, or even on any of the ship's excursions. Thank you Jade for a wonderful day and for the standout highlight of our cruise.
Great Tour and Great Guide

5.00Jade our guide was terrific. He met us at the port with a nice van and explored Busan for a day. Well worth the money. It was a great tour and far less $$$ that when the ship sells.
Great way to see Busan in one day.
