Wonderful tour!! - Katrina, our tour guide was wonderful! She gave us clear instructions and kept the group intact during the tour and on time so that we are not late for other attractions. She helped us take pictures along the spots and was nice to talk to. The locations visited were really picturesque, and we had a great time!

Highly recommend for first time visit to Busan - It’s been what was expected and more, Mason our tour guide was congenial and informative. It would have been different experience if not for his bubbly personality.

Super trip with an amazing guide! - Very good and educational trip! Guiden Bada told about historical events between the stops, as well as fine flow when we were by the attractions. We had plenty of time to look around and also had plenty of free time. Nightview was fantastic! The guide was also helpful with recommendations on other things to see and eat in Busan. All in all a great trip, and the guide made it even better! Hello Agneta, Viking and the rest of the gang!

A long day - For me this was a very long day with lots of hanging about. I feel the tour would have been better as an afternoon/evening tour to reduce waiting for nightfall to see the lights and as a much bigger group than the 6 people it advertised it would be you couldn’t cut the tour short. That said our guide Jonas was lovely and full of information. The lunch choice was really good too.

Beautiful places but organization can be improved - The sites visited as part of the tour are absolutely stunning. The organisation wasn’t up to the standards I expected: the departure was later compared to the booking and in the end we left later on the delayed departure…it meant getting caught in traffic jam near the first stop and accumulating even more delays. The tour guide was nice but his English is just to acceptable standards; also, he didn’t seem too knowledgeable about the various sites and didn’t really go much further than what was written on the signs. Finally, if you do embark on this excursion, do not go for the lunch organised by them (which is an extra) as it’s not very good. I did appreciate the flexibility of the guide about taking us to the cherry blossom for some pictures and stopping at the bridge for evening shots, which were quite something.

A very long day - First and foremost, the tour is too long. There were entire stops that could be eliminated and would not be missed. Our guide also didn’t provide a lot of information as to what we were seeing. I’m not sure if it was a language issue or not. I would do this tour again if it was cut down by about 2 or 3 hours
