This is an all day affair! We left Busan at 10 am and arrived back at 9pm, but it is absolutely worth the all day travel just by virtue of the bus alone, especially on weekends. A lot of locals travel to these locations on weekends, so parking lots become packed. There’s really no way to visit these places without a car or on a tour. Do not skip out on the traditional lunch— highly recommend the marinated spicy crab and acorn jelly at the first location. (Acorn jelly is a speciality that is not served everywhere in Korea). Mariana was a wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable, and so courteous! While we personally would have liked a little more time at the tomb site — that was purely by virtue of the traffic on a Saturday and not the tour itself. Try to go on a weekend if you can to avoid crowds!

Comfortable and clean bus. Our guide Yoona was cheerful and gave sufficient commentary (though I wished there had been more information shared). There was a good balance of guided vs free time. Sight were well worth the visit being UNESCO Heritage sites and they were planned in a good order as some sights were beautiful to admire at night. It would be good to have given us a heads up for dinner so that if we wanted, we could have eaten more at the 2nd stop instead of shopping. Toilets along the way were clean. Lunch was pre-ordered and very well organised. Considering it was a big group of 35, Yoona managed us very well. Great job Yoona!

Very trustworthy, it showed us what they promised and our tour guide Yoona was very sweet and understanding. She explained every destination in detail, we order our food on the phone and was ready for us at this traditional place restaurant that we felt like locals. I would recommend this tour guide if you’re in Busan just be prepared to walk alot and sleep like a baby after. We got back to Busan around 9 pm.
Great communication prior...
