Good memory - Mr. Yang was an excellent guide during the trip. He paid close attention to ensure there were no inconveniences while we were together. Thanks to him, the city of Busan felt even more charming. I want to say thank you again. See you next time.

Busan Private Tour Chang Woo - Chang Woo is a 5 of 5 star guide. He provided friendly, frequent, and flexible communication. He was flexible with our port schedule, and picked us up at Port; it easier for us, including getting us back to the Port ( to reduce heat and physical exhaustion). He offered many suggested itineraries based on our interest and time constraints. He knew Busan so well since he born and raised there that he added restaurant and beverage stops; the wives really enjoyed Korean culture, traditions, and shared with their friends. We did the APEC Summit walking tour, Port harbor scenic sky tram, suggestions to maximize our tour, photo opportunities. You will certainly get the Best with Chang Woo, and he will get you there quickly, comfortably while having a fun and interesting time; based on your availability! Best wishes on your traveling adventure. Gwangalli Beach is known for its breathtaking night view Gwangandaegyo Bridge stretching across the ocean in the background.

Great tour experience in Busan - Our tour guide, Chang Woo, picked us up on time at the Busan cruise terminal. He was very accommodating to the need of our small group of 4, taking us to our preferred places. He showed us a secret spot in Gamcheon with a great view of the hillside while avoiding the crowd. It was an informative and very pleasant intro to Busan. Highly recommended.

Highlights of Busan - Changwoo is a perfect Korean Gentleman, he speaks impeccable English and is very knowledgeable of history and local information. He tailored the tour to our exact needs and we covered a lot of wonderful sights that we would never have seen otherwise. He was very helpful whilst taking photos, shopping and trying the local street food. I thoroughly recommend this tour. Thank you so much Changwoo for showing us the best of Busan.

So satisfied with my first half-day tour I booked another full-day tour! - I first booked the Busan half-day tour with Chang Woo, and was super happy with the experience. When friends visited Korea, we decided to book the full-day Busan tour to give us more time to see the city. Chang Woo is a Busan native and speaks English, so he was able to give us great explanations of the sites and made the tour fun and memorable. If you get the chance to visit Busan, I highly recommend booking a full-day tour with Chang Woo and Icon Busan Private Tours!

Memorable private tour in Busan - I took this tour with my husband and two friends as a shore excursion. We only had one day in Busan, so we wanted to explore the city as much as possible in 8 hours. Our guide Changwoo picked us up from the port and drove us to several places requested by us. He has good knowledge of the city where he was grown up. At the end, he took us to a restaurant in the fish market. The seafood is so fresh and the price is so cheap. We can’t ask for more from him. I would recommend anyone to contact him if you want to visit Busan with a private tour.

Overnight Trip to Busan from Seoul and back - @busangyeonhjotour (IG) licensed guide name was Irene. We had a pleasant trip with Irene as our guide in Busan. A day trip is Busan is enough. Irene was courteous, honest and earnest. She has a good command in English but needs better enunciation. She has a better conversational skill in Mandarin.She met us at the train station and promptly showed us around. She arranged very good 2 lunch meals for us. Coffee shops sprouted everywhere and Irene recommended us a very good coffee place. We love that she has a driver to drive us around as organized by Korea GPS Travel.
