Haedong Yonggungsa
Haedong Yonggungsa is one of the few Buddhist temples in Korea located right by the sea, offering stunning views of the East Sea. Built in 1376 during the Goryeo Dynasty, the temple is known for its unique coastal setting, peaceful atmosphere, and striking statues including the golden Buddha. Visitors can walk along a scenic path, cross a stone bridge, and enjoy the harmony of nature and spirituality. It's a perfect place to find inner peace while soaking in breathtaking ocean views.

UN Memorial Cemetery
The United Nations Memorial Cemetery is the world's only UN memorial cemetery, where fallen UN soldiers who gave their lives for the cause of world peace and freedom are laid to rest. As a UNESCO World Heritage Park, it offers a detailed insight into South Korea's war history. In November 1955, the National Assembly of South Korea resolved to permanently donate this land to the United Nations as a gesture of gratitude for the sacrifices of UN forces, designating the cemetery as a sacred site.

Do not expect to see everything listed in the description. Buyer beware. We paid for a tour that should have included all the stops described, with the timing stated, but 3 stops were skipped over. Erika, our guide, said that she was in charge of the itinerary, so we believe it was simply up to her discretion whether we went to all of the locations. She repeatedly told us she would not block us on WhatsApp, so we shouldn’t block her. Not sure why that was so important to her, even at the end of the tour. We saw places where we could spend more money, but didn’t get to see other places just for their beauty and history. It’s was disappointing, to say the least.

A great experience with Joe where we got to see incredible sights during our port visit to Busan. I was impressed with how we were able to see so much in a short amount of time without feeling rushed. When it came to lunch, Joe went above and beyond to secure us a good place to eat given our food restrictions. Easy pickup from the port cruise terminal and easy dropoff too. Overall a highly recommended experience and a great value for what you get.

Erica was phenomenal as tour guide...and she went out of her way to give information and context to the places we visited. The air conditioning in the tour bus, however, was weak.
