What can I can say about the tour I had. Other then I had an amazing experience with my tour guide Dylan. Not only did I hit all the spots I wanted to for the BTS landmarks but I got to enjoy the beauty that is South Korea. It has left a stamp on my heart I will never forget. Experience was higher than 10 out of 10. This tour group does an amazing job. I would use them again if I ever get the chance to come back to South Korea. ❤️ I could go on and on. I have done tours before but to have someone that feels like you known them forever just making the tour even more amazing. Talked about k- Pop, K dramas and even tried to learn a few words in Korean (tho that could still use a little work) but it was like talking to a best friend. I hope they can continue to make new tour packages. Visiting South Korea and doing this tour definitely left me with a full heart. Warm memories and my spark back. ❤️ Thank you for the amazing tour.

Busan High School of Arts is a specialized arts high school that educates students in various artistic fields. The school provides high-level education particularly in modern dance, fine arts, and music, and is known for being the alma mater of BTS's Jimin. Jimin majored in modern dance at Busan High School of Arts and made history by becoming the first student to be admitted as the top of his entire department. He later moved to Seoul to pursue his dream of becoming a K-pop star. Busan High School of Arts not only recognized Jimin's talent and contributions during his time at the school but also honored him afterward by awarding him an honorary diploma. Additionally, Jimin has shown continuous support for his alma mater by making several donations. He donated new desks and chairs for all 1,200 students and provided scholarships to students in need, supporting them in various ways
Seodong Maze Market, a traditional market with a history spanning approximately 40 years, is renowned for its intricate maze-like alleyways. The market is adorned with murals and artworks created by local artists, making it a vibrant and visually captivating destination. This market is a beloved spot for both locals and tourists, offering a variety of traditional foods and fresh produce. Street food favorites like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and gimbap (Korean sushi rolls) are particularly popular here. A must-visit for BTS fans is Matna Bunsik, a snack shop frequently visited by Jimin during his childhood.
One of the must-visit attractions in Busan is the Oryukdo Skywalk, a place that holds a special connection to BTS's Jimin. Oryukdo, which translates to "Five-Six Island," is known for its unique geological feature where the number of visible islands changes with the tide. The Skywalk is a glass-bottom bridge built on a coastal cliff, offering stunning views of the sea and the surrounding islets. In early 2015, Jimin visited Oryukdo and shared his experience through a video log, making this spot a significant location for BTS fans. Since then, many fans have visited Oryukdo, retracing Jimin's steps and taking photos at the same spot where he filmed
Gamcheon Culture Village was established on the mountainside as refugees flocked to Busan during and after the Korean War, causing the population to surge from 400,000 to 1 million. Today, Gamcheon Culture Village is known as the "Santorini of Korea" or the "Machu Picchu of Busan," filled with brightly colored houses and artistic creations. The village features murals and sculptures created by artists, offering a visual delight for visitors. This village holds a special place for BTS fans. Murals of Jimin and Jungkook are located within the village, allowing fans to follow in their footsteps and enjoy taking photos at these popular spots
Busan Citizens Park is a significant location for BTS fans, particularly due to its association with V (Kim Taehyung). V visited the park in June 2019 during BTS's "5th Muster" fan meeting in Busan. He shared photos of his visit on social media, which quickly went viral among ARMYs (BTS's fan club). This led to the creation of a dedicated photo zone within the park, known as "V Road," where fans can take pictures at the exact spot V did. The park itself is one of the largest in Busan, offering a variety of attractions such as walking paths, water features, and art installations. It used to be a US military base known as Camp Hialeah until it was transformed and opened to the public in 2014.
Magnate is a popular café in Busan that holds a special connection to BTS, particularly to Jimin. This café is owned by Jimin's father, which has made it a must-visit spot for BTS fans, also known as ARMY. The café is decorated with various memorabilia, including Jimin’s hat collection. Fans often visit Magnate to enjoy the cozy atmosphere, delicious pastries, and beverages, while feeling a closer connection to Jimin and his family. The café has become a symbolic place where fans can gather, share their love for BTS, and enjoy a piece of Jimin's personal history.

Allan was an awesome tour guide. Spoke English very well, and so knowledgeable about Busan, and BTS! His van sat 8 of us comfortably. Easy to talk to and patient with us ladies!
My guide for the BTS landmarks tour was Mia. She was absolutely amazing! She was very easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable. She was professional and very sweet. (She also played BTS in the background while driving from one place to another, which was cool). She paced the tour in an easygoing manner, letting me experience everything to the fullest. Mia took the time to explain the history of each landmark we visited. She answered my many questions about South Korea with great enthusiasm. You can tell she loves what she does and loves Busan. She made sure that I received the total experience of visiting these iconic landmarks. Mia incorporated many fun activities along the way. For example, she helped me recreate the iconic photo of V in the park with the umbrella. We fed koi fish, and had lunch at a food market that Jimin frequented as a child. We also visited Jimin's father's cafe and sat and had coffee. Mia also left time for me to do some shopping for souvenirs, to remember this incredible tour. She also happily snapped a ton of pictures for me! I would absolutely recommend this tour. And if you can get Mia as your guide, you will have the most amazing experience!
We signed up for a 4 hour BTS highlight tour. Our tour guide talked us into 6 hours and we had to get out extra cash to pay the difference. Would have been great if there were six hours of highlights but honestly the four would have been enough. The fish market was a bit unnecessary since I don’t see a BTS connection. In short, DON’T get talked into the longer session, save yourself the 130,000 won.
I had an absolute blast and a half with Dylan! He was very professional yet friendly, very knowledgeable about Korean history in the surrounding areas, very helpful with taking pictures, and even helped me translate in the market when I was shopping for a hanbok. As a young, solo traveler, he made me feel incredibly safe. 10/10 recommend this tour for anyone visiting Busan. It was well worth every penny and I will be booking again when I come back with my family!
Our tour guide was Jason Lee, he was amazing and went above and beyond to make the tour memorable. He was so experienced, we were able to see all of the attractions before the crowds of tourists. It was honestly perfect!
Jason was a wonderful guide from start to finish! He took us to all the BTS sites that we wanted to see as well as sharing cultural information about Busan. He made sure that we had enough time at each stop and took so many amazing pictures for our group. He kept us singing and laughing and throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour.
This tour hit all the main spots ARMY would want to visit on a trip to Busan. Dylan was an entertaining tour guide and shared also about the culture and history of Busan. We got more than just a BTS tour. Dylan was also flexible in allowing us to add extra ARMY to our tour last minute to share in the experience
Sandalos, Was the best guide we could have asked for. He tailored the day around what we wanted to do and even drove to many Composs Coffeehouses so I could find V cup sleeves. He spoke great English and helped my friend with her Koren. Had a great day, well worth the money. Busan I so big we would have been lost if we had just gone by ourselves.
Amazing time with Dylan! This is my family’s second time taking this tour, and we had an excellent time again despite the rainy weather. Can’t recommend this tour enough, best way to experience Busan, especially if you are a BTS fan!
What can I say… this was truly one of the highlights of our South Korea trip! Dylan is incredibly friendly, hospitable, knowledgeable, and especially thoughtful toward our elderly BTS fan. He adjusted the itinerary to suit our pace and preferences, offering helpful suggestions along the way. It didn’t feel like we were touring with a guide, but rather with a friend who was genuinely passionate about showing us around. By the end of the trip, we felt so touched and grateful, and it was hard to say goodbye that we truly wished we had more time together. Highly recommended for any BTS fans visiting Busan!
Busan seemed quite spread out and two older ladies really enjoyed seeing the sites instead of working so hard to get to them. CK was informative and a delight to talk with. We had a full day of new experiences!
Short but interesting tour. My friend is a K- pop fan so she knows the group. She wanted to see Z Millennial Cafe which is owned by the father of one of the singers. Our tour guide Jake told us that 2 of BTS singers are from Busan. I’m not really into K pop so I cannot comment on anything. Jake went above and beyond as a tour guide. If you are an ARMY, then this tour is denifitely for you.
Such a great experience. Booked this tour for my grandmother who is a BTS fan and Dylan (our tour guide) made it such a memorable day out. Stress-free tour that my family greatly enjoyed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone traveling to Busan!
We had the most amazing day with CK. He shared so much about Korean life and made sure my BTS heart was so happy. Highly recommend.
Full pack day that trully gave a thrill to my ARMY heart. It was a delight to walk in the foitsteos of Jimin, JK and V. The photostops like Busan High School were short and sweet. Our guide Dylan was very adept in assisting with the picture taking. We had lunch at the market and the stall where we ate the noodle soup had a line , it was a favorite among the locals. The serving was so generous and it waavinteresting that it was served with a variety of chili that is nit hot st all. Gamcheon Village is a must see place, aside from BTS murals , the variety of stores are also a must visit. The place is so colorful and there was an exuverant vibe to it. I partivularly adored a store that sells handnade crocheted dolls -super cute . Food at the Gopchang was delicious. Again, very generous portions. The last stop was at Magnate. Perfect for dessert and coffee. Lotsbof differebt pastries and drinjs and they have their own merch tgst alludes to Jiminshi, really cozy atmisphere and friendly staff. Very enjoyable tour all and alk, made more fun by Dylan who's very lively. The ride was confortable. You would wantvto be back and experience mire of Busan.
