Over priced. Extra charge of 20,000 won (£10) per person for shared boat trip that just went to centre of harbour and back. We paid for our food at the grubby night food market. The observatory is just a small lay-by with nothing much to see. We were staying in Haeundae Beach so a lot of driving across the city. Not recommended.

Itinerary
Embark on a glamorous yacht tour, gliding under the illuminated Diamond Bridge. Witness the harmonious blend of natural beaches and towering skyscrapers along the city's coast. As the night sky merges with the twinkling city lights, prepare for a sailing experience that is nothing short of magical.
Explore the stunning Busan Harbor Bridge, a perfect spot to soak in the beautiful night view of Busan. Renowned as a popular driving course, this bridge offers a captivating blend of the city's dynamic energy and natural beauty, with an unparalleled view of Busan Port. As you cross the Busan Harbor Bridge, prepare to be mesmerized by the grandeur of Busan Port and the sweeping panorama of the city's skyline. The spectacle is especially breathtaking after dusk, when the bridge and nearby buildings light up, creating one of Busan's most magnificent scenes. Spanning about 7.42 kilometers, this bridge ranks among Korea's longest, providing a unique opportunity to enjoy a 360-degree vista of Busan. The Busan Harbor Bridge is not just a route; it's a destination in itself, especially popular with photographers and social media aficionados for its photogenic appeal.
Nestled in the heart of Busan, Bupyeong Kkangtong Market is renowned for its vibrant night market. The market's unique name, "Kkangtong" (meaning "can"), originated post-Korean War with the distribution of canned goods from U.S. military bases. It gained further fame in the 1970s when various foreign goods brought back by soldiers deployed in Vietnam were sold here. Today, as one of the top three markets in Busan, it hosts the first permanent night market in Korea, bustling with energy every evening. Here, you'll find a wide array of food options, including the famous Busan fish cakes, and many eateries featured on TV. Long lines of people waiting at popular stalls are a common sight, adding to the market's lively atmosphere.
Perched midway up the mountain, this path is lined with homes built by refugees following the Korean War. Along the way, you'll encounter various lookout points, each offering a unique perspective. Among them, the Cheonmasan Observatory and Busan Port Observatory stand out as prime spots to immerse yourself in Busan's stunning nighttime cityscape. From these vantage points, you can soak in the breathtaking beauty of Busan's illuminated skyline, a mesmerizing tapestry of lights and urban charm. It's an experience that beautifully marries historical depth with modern allure, making it an unmissable highlight of any visit to Busan.

Jake was a great guide. He has a great history personally besides all his knowledge of the Busan area and Korean history.
Jason Lee was courteous and shared his knowledge and pride of Busan. The yacht experience was fun but I did think the cost was included in the package unless the 20,000 won each was for a gratuity.
This is a slow paced and a leisure activity. The weather along with the guide makes this activity a must do.
We went on a boat tour of Busan Harbor that had an amazing drone light show. Visited the first Night Market and got some great food. Then took in the view of Busan from a mountain vista.
We had a blast with Dylan and Korea Go Tours! He met us at our hotel and kept us laughing with funny anecdotes along the way and answered all of the questions we had about Busan. The first activity was the yacht ride which took us in to the Gwangalli Bay area giving us spectacular views of the Diamond Bridge. As we were enjoying the fun music and lovely scenery, we were pleasantly surprised to see fireworks sparkling from other boats, then we were able to set our own off as well (with guidance of course!). After the fireworks and wonderfully relaxing ride on the water, we visited Bupyeong Kkangtong Market for a street food market experience. We got to visit one of Dylan's many Moms who was an Ahjumma with a story like the main character in 'Ode to my Father' who took over her mother in law's market stand shortly after marrying her husband, selling roasted sweet potato and chestnuts and evolving it into one of the tastiest noodle, teokbeokki, and odeng stalls in the market. Make sure to find out her life story with Dylan's help! On our way out, we had handmade ice cream at Dylan's brother from another mother's stall - basically heavy cream or milk and fruit mixed and beaten by hand into a delicious roll of cool, soft scrumptious-ness. After a nice meal, another one of Dylan's Moms gave us some yummy homemade taffy which he shared with us on our way to the last stop! We then made our way up to the Cheonmasan Observatory and had the best night view of the city. We also happened to meet the main couple of the movie 'Ode to my father' and snapped some photos with them! Dylan made us feel at home as if we were visiting family. His mood was high in life and energized us so much that we didn't want to tour to end. He also took tons of photos for us and with us so that we can remember the experience. We hope that you pick this tour with Dylan and Korea Go Tours when you visit Busan because you will have lots of laughter and fun!

Great service and communication of the history and night sites of Busan. We were picked up from our hotel on time and promptly taken to harbor for amazing tour. Afterwards we enjoyed a drive through the city and had a tasty meal in the night market. Lee is an experienced and fun guide to this wonderful city.
Korea Go Tours were excellent at keeping us informed about payment and arrangements between booking months ag and our trip tonight. We had travel delays, but Korea Go Tours and our guide Lee were so accommodating, they even moved the boat part of the excursion to the following night. Talk about amazing service. Lee is friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining and professional. Could not ask for more. The excursion. Korea Go Tours and Lee were all top notch and enthusiastically recommended.
Dylan was a wonderful host, and the tour was a fantastic orientation to the city and it's history and culture. The whole family loved it--it was a trip highlight!
Dylan was a wonderful host and gave us a great sense of Busan and its history and culture. The whole gamily loved it--this was a highlight of our visit to Korea.
Dylan was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He customized the trip to our needs and took lots of photos for us at the 3 locations during the tour. He has curated the experience well, allowing for relaxing on the boat, seing the local night market and helping us order, as well as seeing the city at night from a location overlooking the city. Highly recommend this tour if you'd like to get a taste of several different areas of Busan. Thanks Dylan for a fun and educational evening!
This was such a fun experience. Thanks also in a large part to my wonderful guide Lily! The yacht trip was spectacular, with views of the Busan bay and the Diamond suspension Bridge. The night market was a people watching delight and foodie heaven with smells and tastes that you will not forget. Lastly the views of the city lights from the panorama spot high above the city was spectacular. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a fun way to spend an evening. I booked on a whim that morning and was not disappointed.. Again, thanks in a large part to the knowledgeable and welcoming attitude of my guide Lily! Thank you!!
Jason was a great driver and shared a lot of interesting facts about Busan and South Korea. We appreciate his guidance and had a great night!! Thanks again!!
Jasón was our driver, very cordial and knowledgeable. The yacht tour was the highlight, wonderful views of the Harbour. The views from the observatory are also spectacular.
This was a memorable experience. The night boat cruise is worth the photo op. Jason is very knowledgeable and answers all questions. The night market we went to had great food. This was a five star experience all around.
The night tour was fantastic! We covered some highlights of Busan that are bit hard to get to, in a short amount of time! Our guide, Mimi, was very friendly and thoughtful it made our tour so pleasant. We highly recommend this tour!
By far one of the best tours I’ve been to, and definitely a highlight of my entire trip to Busan! Dylan is an amazing tour guide, and was very entertaining and knowledgable throughout the tour, I can’t remember a single dull moment! (Bonus: He's also a good photographer!) Seeing all of Busan from the mountain was definitely a highlight for me, as it is an absolutely gorgeous city at night. We drove through the city, ate good food, took lots of pictures and overall had a very enjoyable experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone, as you’ll definitely be in good hands ^-^
Dylan was an AMAZING 🤩 tour guide (and a great driver!!). He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Busan, we walked away learning a lot! He had a very warm and welcoming aura and would answer any and all questions we had. He also planned a very lovely excursion with well-timed activities, we did not feel rushed at all. This was our first night tour during our entire trip in Korea and I must say, this was our best tour of the whole trip. It had everything from food to amazing views🤩 We could definitely come back and use Korea Go Tours for our future excursions in Busan!
Had so much fun with the day tour we had to do the night tour too!! Busan is beautiful at night and with a great guide like Dylan we had an amazing time. We had heard about really cool lighted fountain show so we went see that and the Songdo Cloud Trail at night is amazing too! Highly recommend seeing both
My friends and I had the most amazing Busan night tour with Dylan! 🥰. Besides the beautiful night sceneries we experienced, we had so much laughs together which made this tour even more FUN! You know when you have hundreds of memories with your lifetime group of friends?Well, in this one night with Dylan, we had hundreds of laughs and memories in that short time! 😂🤣. I highly recommend his tour! He is knowledgeable, fun and GOOD HEARTED! He is a good Samaritan who got out of his car to assist another driver in a tight situation during our tour! Thank you Dylan for making our first trip to Busan a trip to remember! You gave us the best memories ever! The laughs we all shared will be cherished forever! Broccoli heads and twinkies will have a new meaning to this group! 🤪😂
The tour was incredible and we got to capture the cities beauty at night and eat great food along the way. My tour guide Finn was amazing and very helpful along the way.
