Wonderful experience

Published on Apr, 2023

We had a wonderful experience from the very beginning of the booking of the tour to the end. Kyung Ae went above and beyond to make sure our family had a comfortable trip with our 2 elementary age kids. The tour guides were very attentive and flexible in changing the itinerary to make sure our family got to see the different landmarks we were interested in seeing. The car ride was very comfortable and the tour guides’ food recommendations for our meals were delicious! Our whole family felt like this Busan 2 day tour was the highlight of our trip to Korea and highly recommend it!

Above and beyond

Had an exceptional experience with Jay as our guide. He took us everywhere on our itinerary as well as additional spots for dinner that were outside our itinerary. Jay was very helpful and thoughtful and I would recommend him for anyone looking for private tour of Busan. Thank you Jay!
