Had an amazing time on the Pohang tour with our tour guide Park Jeong Ho. Park arrived early to the pick up location, easy to communicate with and was attentive to the needs of each tour member. Car ride was smooth and comfortable. If you plan to do this tour, make sure you get Park!

Departing from three meeting points in Busan to Homigot Sunrise Square.
Arriving at Homigot Sunrise Square. Homigot, which means "Tiger's Tail," first comes to mind as a place worth visiting in Pohang. It is the easternmost point of the Korean Peninsula and is also famous as a place to welcome the sun because it is known as the place where the sun rises first on the Korean Peninsula. The "Hand of Win-Win," a large hand sculpture in Homigot Sunrise Square, is said to have the meaning of "win-win and harmony" as the hands on the sea and the hands on the land face each other.
Departing from Homigot Sunrise Square to Guryongpo Japanese House Street.

Excellent variety of stops along this tour! Time spent at each location was just right. Would recommend this tour to others.
We really enjoy the tour. Pohang is a nice place, not so turistic. Sean our tour guide was very helpfull and nice. The temple was beatiful. I really recomande this tour.
Our travel guide Mr. Jung Ho was a great guide. He was punctual with pick ups. He was very personal and friendly with everyone at the tour. He was available to everyone whenever we needed him and he took great photos. We had enough time to visit all the places we wanted to. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a one day trip to Pohang.
Was picked up on time and our guide Sean was great. Excellent driving, kept us informed and provided excellent insights of the areas visited. Also recommended foods to eat for lunch and dinner. Great choices Sean.
Ours group only 4 people, Mr Park Jeong ho contact us a day b4 to arrange 30mins early meet to start ours tour, base on it was Big Bank holiday period for Korea , super traffic jam. Mr Park speak very well ,well look after each spots . Detail explains history and some of his personal knowledge. Very good trips
I really enjoyed this tour and our tour guide Sean was great and very knowledgeable of the history of the locations we visited.
We experienced traditional Korean food at Jukdo market which was so different from the touristic Jagalchi market . The ajuhmmas there were so cute and friendly that it made my Kdrama shows come alive . Our tour guide , Mr Park, was awesome as well . He took beautiful pics of us and patiently educated us about the culture of Pohang .
I think Pohang City area is one of the most attractive areas for travelling from Busan in one day. Beautiful beaches and Space Walk Park and a big fish market are definitely worth visiting, and also Tongdosa Temple is worth a visit. Especially if you are interested in Buddhism, this temple must be inspiring to you. Our guide, Sean, was a very reliable person. He drove very skillfully and very safely, and he has a good personality, kind and gentle. He explained the background of our destinations plainly. If you are planning to go to Busan, I strongly recommend joining this tour.

Nice day tour trip in Busan. The tour guide is very nice and helpful. He had offer to drop us off at Busan station which is nearer to our hotel stay instead of the usual destination. He had also recommended good crab at jukdo market which is very delicious and is highly recommended.
The Pohang tour was a fantastic experience! I really enjoyed visiting the iconic Space Walk, which offered stunning views and was definitely a highlight of the trip. Exploring the local market was also a lot of fun, with plenty of interesting sights and local specialties. The delicious crab meal was fresh, generous, and absolutely satisfying. Everything was well organized, and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. A great way to experience the beauty, culture, and food of Pohang. Highly recommended!

Patrick was a nice person and the trip was great.
This was the perfect day trip to Pohang! Our guide was Sean, and he was kind and patient and made sure we got to each attraction on time. We followed the exact itinerary listed, and we had the perfect amount of free time at ways place to explore and take pictures. We had a small group of 8 people and the places we went to weren’t crowded at this time in the season. I would recommend this trip to anyone that has an extra day to explore outside of Busan.
The tour guide was nice and friendly. He drove car to take us all of spots, and talked stories and backgrounds. It worth to come again or recommend for friends.
Great experience with a small tour group! The driver/tour guide was exceptional and his driving was outstanding! Park Jong-ho was one of the best guides that we’ve had and we travel a lot. Thank you!
Highly recommend this tour. We had a great time. Taejung Park was our guides name and he told us a lot about the activities we were doing. Unfortunately it rained and we did not go on the spacewalk but we did take pictures of it. The fish market was good, the restaurant we had lunch in was amazing. So much food. Crab was delicious.
The best day trip ever - the scenery, the people I met on the tour, the attractions and wonderful guide, Jeong ho - a fantastic day.
Today's guide was Park, who took very good care of me and another solo female traveler. Along the way, she also explained the sights and stories about Korea. The whole trip was wonderful; there was enough time to take photos at every spot, and Park kindly helped take pictures too. I made new friends 👍
It was a great experience, Mr. Park was an exceptional guide, he explained every place we visited in detail and made sure we had a good time, he was always punctual and we had enough time to do the whole tour.
Absolutely interesting tour for both the cultural part and the rest. Park is very nice and kind, he should just improve his English a little bit :)
The tour guide Mr. Park is very professional, took care of us along the way, and helped us order a seafood feast, which was good value for money. The itinerary was well-planned, and the driving skills were excellent; they also explained the historical background along the way.
Professional tour guide park Service Professional explanation Accompany together A professional and good tour guide

They arranged a very comfortable and spacious vehicle! Thank you very much to our tour guide Sean 💯 thx .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ so much Very professional and kind, understanding history and arranging everything, with ample time and no rush, fluent in language. If you come to Busan, you can choose this itinerary to see beautiful seas and forests, as well as rich cultural significance! Everything was spectacular, and I also recommended the super delicious beef soup 👍🏻🍜 Enjoying the present moment is the only rule.
Excellent guide, it's so hot 🫠 And there are many historical sites, and the food is also good 👍👍👍
Tour guide and driver Mr. Park Jeong-ho is very professional. Along the way, he explains the scenery and local customs to us, and he also takes us to eat delicious crab and teaches us how to eat it in the most cost-effective way. This is a very worthwhile trip, a happy day trip. Thank you, driver/guide!
Sean. Excellent guide. We visited all the places on time, with enough time and at our own pace, a very good tour.
I decided at the last minute to book a day trip to Pohang and I must say that I am very happy! The guide, Sean, is very helpful, clear, and kind! If you have any doubts or questions, he answers them! He also takes beautiful photos! We saw the main points and there is plenty of time to visit everything. If you want to take a day trip, I highly recommend it!
They came to pick us up near the hotel According to the program. We visited several hidden places on the tour. We liked them a lot and the time was a little tight to see them all. I feel that a little more information about the points we visited was missing. Very beautiful landscapes.
We spent a day out of Busan and visited places we would not have been able to see alone. The service with the minivan is very convenient for travel and the guide is friendly and professional. Recommended.
