We had a wonderful tour with Jino. He moved at our pace and was willing to customize the tour as much or little as requested. He was very well informed about the sites we were seeing and provided lots of interesting information about the area as well as Korean history and modern Korea. He even suggested several lunch options and the one that we chose was fabulous. My husband has some mobility issues and Jino made various recommendations to limit walking as needed. The tour itself was unique and interesting. It was a great day and we highly recommend.

Although it was our first time in Busan, we opted to go farther afield and visit the remarkable UNESCO sites at Gyeongju, more than an hour’s drive from the port. Our guide, Soo-Hyeon Kim, drove us in a very clean and comfortable private car to beautiful Seokguram Grotto and nearby Bulguksa Temple, 8th Century masterpieces of Buddhist art and architecture – all the more beautiful as the cherry trees were in full bloom. Later, we visited the burial mounds at Daereungwon, which were fascinating (and the treasures uncovered there are amazing). Soo was a great guide and made time before returning us to our ship for a visit to Jagalchi Market, the largest fish market in South Korea – an amazing variety of the freshest seafood I have ever seen. Great tour!
