5.00Hyony was amazing! She was super knowledgeable, communicated meeting times and food options really well, she was bubbly and kind and her English is great! Plus a 10/10 photographer. The tour itself is awesome, we loved each spot we went to, plus we felt we had sufficient time at each place. :)
It was a fun experience....

5.00It was a fun experience. Hyony is a great tour guide. Not only did she educate us about the history of Korea, but she was so helpful with taking photos for those of us who were solo travelers.
Kayla is what you need on a long day trip :)

5.00It is very worth it because the tour takes you through several sights throughout the day. It would be impossible to visit them in a single day without a vehicle of your own. Katrina was our guide, she was always friendly, fun and with great explanations of the sites of interest unsaturated. Your English is very well understood. Also give good tips for your trip and recommendations in Busan. Thank you so much for everything Katrina! Highly recommended.
Absolutely worth the longish day!

5.00First, let’s be clear that this is not a small group or private tour. Having said that, we had a fantastic time with Katrina leading about 20-25 of us from all over the world in an English tour. Her English is very good and she is extreme knowledgeable. (Maybe she could speak a little slower - not everyone had English as their first language). If you want a little privacy, she is open to you wandering off on your own to see the sites. Just be back at the assigned meeting place on time or else you have to buy coffee for everyone! Katrina is great at keeping things organized and on time. That’s great since you are going to see a lot of different sites packed into one hectic day. She even organizes a pre-arranged Korean lunch so that when you hit the restaurant, there’s no waiting around. (Not pricey: our bibimbap was filling and only W13,000). It’s a longish day. Bring snacks for the bus ride. We got picked up at 9:50 and returned at 8:30. If you are in busan and want a day out of the hectic city, I recommend this trip. The historical sites are really something to behold and the greenery is beautiful. Katrina also does a Busan city trip and I imagine that would be great too.
Unmissable
