5.00Wow, 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.
Wonderful Tour

5.00On that day, only me and two friends, the itinerary can be flexibly adjusted, we chose a great view, bread and coffee are good cafes, sitting by the window to see the Busan market. The tour guide will share the stories and local culture such as Busan, Khan Village Cave, and recommend high-CP seafood and local restaurants.

5.00Suyang was an incredibly kind and informative host for our tour. He answered every question we had, easily navigated our transportation and very sincerely wanted to ensure we had a positive experience. Our tour ran long and he continued to accompany us for translation at the Jalgachi Seafood market to ensure we had an easy experience buying the right seafood. Thanks Suyang!
Gamcheon - both on and off the tourist trail!

4.00It was just the 2 of us for the tour which was a delight as the guide customized the trip for us. In addition, my wife has some trouble climbing stairs and the guide was sensitive to that and adjusted our route accordingly. He was super knowledgeable about the places we saw and answered all our questions. The tour took us to the Gamcheon culture village ( quite touristy but still a must-see) but also to the other side of the mountain which had almost no tourists. It was nice to experience that quiet part of the mountain and a different viewpoint. We’d never have known about that area without a guide. But it’s the guide that makes or breaks these small tours and he was great! Opinionated. Knowledgeable. Open to all our questions about K-culture and its people. You can’t ask for more. I rated him 4/5 for this reason: Because there was quite a bit of walking involved, he could have communicated better during the walk just exactly where we are going and how far the next destination is. A quibble perhaps but I like to know just what to expect. Anyway, highly recommended!

2.00We have been to the story festivals for years. Missed last year like everyone and donated to the festival. We had 3-day tickets for this year's event but did not return after the first day. The event has turned into a leftist gathering. We do not plan on attending future events.

5.00Suyang is a great tour guide. He is friendly knowledgeable and funny. Despite the fact that I was the only person on tour, he did not cancel. On the contrary it worked out better for me as we had more time and was not rushed. Not only did he explain the history and culture but he helped me a lot with recommendations. As solo traveller, it was greater experience. Thank you Suyang.

1.00Sadly we never got to experience this tour as even though we booked over 2 months out, they cancelled on us with only 2 days notice giving an excuse that did not justify the late cancellation. What is worse is that they asked us to cancel so it didn't make them look bad to trip advisor and when I said no and how disappointing I was about the last cancel they didn't bother to reply. I would recommend that if you book this tour have a back-up plan as in my experience they are unreliable!
Tour guide is knowledgeable and helpful, takes great photos

5.00Suyang is an awesome guide! He showed up with enthusiasm and was very thoughtful and helpful throughout the tour. He has a lot of knowledge about the history of the village and the current state of affairs and never hesitates to answer our questions. It was really kind of him to also provide us with tote bags with rain gear and cooling packs in case of weather changes. Talking to him was fun and the food places he recommended were delicious. If you are looking to get good photos and visit great vantage points, Suyang knows his way!
