5.00Our tour guide Hera was very pleasant, friendly and cherry! She was extremely nice to help all of us take photos at the scenic spots and gave tips on where to take the best shots as well. The tour was well planned and covered quite a lot of places. Haedong Yonggunsa was very special, i've never been to a temple so close to the sea before. View at Taejeondae was very beautiful as well, on a bright sunny day like the day we went. Tour was great to touch and go and see as many spots as possible.

5.00We went for a day trip in Busan on 8th of May this year. To our surprise, there were only two of us in the group but the tour was conducted as usual. The driver/guide Kelvin and the guide Ling Ling were very cheerful and nice. The scenic spots visited were lovely. We had had an enjoyable day. Thanks.
Great!
