An excellent journey in Busan - Jae and Kate provided an excellent experience and we had a lovely time exploring Busan. They provided service all the way from the hotel pickup to our reserved seats on the train, and Jae was a kind, considerate, and thoughtful guide who entertained us with a great sense of humour and took good care of our family's travel needs and special requests. We visited Haedong Yongusa temple, Busan Crosses the Sky Tower at the beach, had an excellent lunch and visited some historic neighbourhoods. They are overall excellent guides, well organised and professional. I would most heartily recommend him and book again if we come back to Korea or Busan - our tour with him revealed that there still so much more to explore in this wonderful and pleasant city! Busan is not just a good place to visit, but an experience that we will remember and cherish.

Great Experience! - Great tour! Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. He listened to our interests and seemed to adjust our day and experiences to our interests rather than stick to a rigid plan. The lunch was amazing; he took us to an out-of-the-way little Korean bar-b-que that was delicious! Great tour of Busan.

Best of Busan for First timer - Love this trip experience. Mr. Jay picked us up on time and took us to the train ensure that we got to our seats. When we arrived in Busan, our guide Mira already waited for us and she was the best! She took us places per our request, plus additional area per her suggested which we also appreciate. She was very friendly, patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She took us to a very nice seafood restaurant by the beach and we had a very nice meal there. She answered our questions and allowed time for us to stop and take pictures whenever we wanted. Then she took us back to the train station and ensure we got to our seat as scheduled. Definitely memorable experience.

Fun educational tour . - Min was great and very informative. She took us to a lot of places( highlights of Busan) from East to West. We learned a lot from her. We especially enjoyed the picnic at the Ahopsan Bamboo Forest overlooking the pond and saw the film location where several k-dramas were filmed.

A touch of Busan - Could not have asked for a better day. Picked up from our hotel, taken to Seoul Station and taken to our seats on the fast train to Busan. Jay was our Guide for the day, and was waiting for us when the train arrived. We were taken to see a wonderful mixture of what makes Busan what it is. A Buddhist Temple, the Beach, two Culture villages, the UN Cemetery , and the Fish Market. Mentioned that we wanted to experience Korean BBQ and we had an enjoyable lunch experience, which added to a great day. Finally got the train back to Seoul. I highly recommend this tour.

Day trip to Busan - We had a wonderful experience with Jay! He was knowledgeable and took us to interesting places. He took special care of my 81yr old Mom by offering her a walking stick, step stool to get in the car and avoided locations with too many hills. Jay was very relatable and catered to our needs. I highly recommend Jay to anyone who is traveling to Busan!

Rain couldn’t spoil a great One Day Trip from Seoul to Busan by KTX - Tour Guide Lee Ji-eun(Jay) ensured our safe delivery to Seoul Station for the KTX and back to hotel at either end of this day trip. We were met by another excellent Tour Guide Mr Soloman in Busan. Despite rainy weather he ensured we had the best experience possible of this great city in this short time. He was very knowledgeable and had good English skills. The visit to Dongbaek Island and the Nurimaru APEC House was very interesting. We enjoyed the culinary delights of silk worms at the beautiful Haedong Yonggungsa Temple! The meal with Solomon at the recommended restaurant near the Jagalchi fish market was great. One day was not enough to do this fantastic city justice.
