Private Busan Tour With Gamcheon Culture Village And The Temple (Customizable)

Anthony was very accommodating and kind. I have some mobilty issues and he was wonderful about customizing the tour so that I could still see a lot. Easy to be with and was a well informed native of Busan.

Excellent tour very informative and very professional we had a great time in Busan. We did so much in 1 day, definitely recommend.

We had a great day with Ha. It was a highlight of our trip to Busan and Seoul and we would definitely recommend him as guide. He was friendly and attentive, and he tried hard to give us a balanced view of Busan with visits to all the main tourist spots plus an idea of what day to day life is like for the people who live there. We enjoyed our tour very much.

Our guide, Jade, made this so much more than just a tour! He was awesome and was very knowledgeable about the history of Korea and the sites we visited! The tour itself was amazing! We learned a lot about South Korea and saw the real people and places or Korea, not just tourist stuff.

Loved our day with Frank. He was an excellent host. Planned our itinerary and was very flexible when the ladies insisted on going cosmetic and cream shopping. Also found us a place for lunch and showed us around town.

Such a fantastic tour! Our family of 4 (kids ages 10 & 14) did this our first day in Busan and it was the perfect way to see many of the top attractions in an easy, accessible way. Our guide, Jino, was so kind and accommodating. Some of our family have mobility issues but it was no problem.

Great tour! Saw all parts of Busan. Would definitely recommend it to my friends. Thanks Iceman we enjoyed the day.

My friend and I love Gamcheon tour. There was so much history about it that we did not know about. Our tour guide CK was extremely knowledgeable about history. We climbed to the highest point just to see the beautiful city. Vibrant colors made the houses look absolutely gorgeous! The place reminds me of Cinque Terre in Italy. CK took us to a seafood restaurant where everything was fresh!!! I ate to my hearts delight! Thank you so much CK for making this tour a memorable one. God willing, I will definitely go back to Busan. I will also recommend this tour to my friends and family back home.

MJ was a wonderful guide. She had a well planned day covering the major sites of Busan. We saw temples, markets, the culture village and many views from around Busan. Highly recommend this tour for covering a lot of Busan in one day. MJ and her driver were both lovely to spend the day with.

🌟 **Busan Tour Review** 🌟 We had an incredible day exploring Busan on a tour that was perfectly organized from start to finish. NAMI was amazing, courteous and polite and entertaint, she make our experience one of the kind!! Our first stop was a serene temple, where we immersed ourselves in the peaceful atmosphere and stunning architecture. Afterward, we headed to a bustling market, where we got to taste authentic Korean food—every bite was a delicious adventure! The final highlight was the Skywalk, offering breathtaking views that made for amazing photo ops. Our guide, Nomi, was truly amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The transportation was flawless, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see the best of Busan! 🇰🇷✨ #BusanTour #KoreaTravel #TempleVisit #KoreanFood #SkywalkViews #AmazingGuide

Great experience! Our driver, Paul, was amazing and worked with us to craft an itinerary that gave us everything we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable and a great ambassador for South Korea. He was a very safe driver and his English was excellent. We learned a lot and had lots of fun. We were interested in trying authentic Korean barbecue and Paul took us to his favorite local spot - absolutely fantastic time! Would highly recommend this tour!

It was great, start to finish! Mimi was our guide and she was very knowledgeable re Busan's history and re the best spots to go and when to miss the crowds. The tour was customizable; accomodating spots we were keen to see. Highly recommended!

Our excellent guide, William, guided us and shared wonderful knowledge as we visited a seaside temple, memorable Orukdo Skywalk, Gamcheon Village, and the famous Jagalchi Fish Market. We had a scrumptious lunch traditional/local cuisine prepared on our tables. Highly recommend!

Book a private tour through “This is Korea” . They offer an airconditioned vehicle with english speaking guide in alternatives ; 4 or 5 persons or 6-7. We had 4. Guide provided so much information. Itinerary was flexible but based around our pre notified preferences and their input .Deposit is 20% on booking and balance on the day in cash $US. Was great value. Second time i have used this organisation. Respond to e mails very quickly to plan the 9.5 hour day from ship pick up.

Enjoyed a wonderful private tour of Busan, with Mr. Kim, even though it was raining. We got to see all the major sites on our list and then some added sites that Mr. Kim thought we might enjoy seeing. Our lunch was exactly what we asked for. We’ve had Korean BBQ and we asked for Kimbap and Dumplings. Mr. Kim knew away where we could get that and took us there, they were excellent. The Temple tour and fish market were amazing places to walk through.

We had a very nice tour and very professional Gide Paul He showed us all best parts of Busan and encouraged us to try live octopus 🐙 We had the best time

I highly recommend the Private Busan Highlight Tour with Gamcheon Culture Village and Beomeosa Temple to all visitors to Busan. My private tour guide was William, who was an excellent guide and driver, and speaks English fluently. Our first stop was the incredibly beautiful Beomeosa Buddhist Temple, followed by the picturesque and unique Gamcheon Culture village. Then we went to the BIFF Square and the Bupyeong Kkangtong Market. Everything was fascinating.

UNFORTUNATELY WAS A RAINING DAY, BUT THANKS TO OUR AMAZING TOUR GUIDE JADE KIM WE WERE ABLE TO HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE TIME VISITING THE BEST OF BUSAN. HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT AND HE ACCOMPLISHED.

Had a great time exploring Busan. Its a really remarkable city, full of surprises. Jay was very nice helping me around. The steep slopes are not easy with a wheelchair but we managed well together.

Jay was the most wonderful guide. I had chosen my preferred things to see and she showed us everything. I even got Yo swim in the ocean after the cable car tour

Bonita was the best!! She was so patient with us when our ship was 1 1/2 hours late to port. She took us to amazing places! The BEST Temple was the Haedong Yonggung Temple./ Right on the water! Then we went to a skywalk over the ocean, a couple shopping streets and the fish market! Wonderful tour and very easy to work with!!! Thank you Bonita!!!!!

On our visit to Busan we went on a private tour with Jino. Jino was absolutely fantastic! Good driver, good knowledge, good english and a great personality. My whole family loved him. He tailered the tour to our needs and was always flexible to changes. Lunch at a local restaurant was the highlight of the day. Since we came with a cruise, Jino made sure, that we are back on board in time. Thank you again Jino for this great day in Busan! Julian

Jade was a great guide who really knew the area and spoke English very well. Also, he went "above and beyond" in offering to take photos of us, making sure the tour included sites we were interested in, and even recommending a great place for us to have a traditional Korean dinner. And... he followed up with us afterwards to make sure everything went well and to see if there was anything else he could do.

This was a truly wonderful trip. The beauty of Gamcheon and Haedong Yonggungsa temple were amazing. Touring Busan and taking the cable car over the sea were sure to make golden memories for us. We also did the Oryukdo skywalk and took great pictures over the water and of the islands. We were honored to visit the United Nations Cemetery in Busan and quietly reflect on those that gave their lives defending the city. Lunch was amazing and we ate at a traditional pork soup place which was warm and filling. Our guide Peter Lee was phenomenal and was so very informative and shared much of the local history with us. The care and attention he gave us was second to none and greatly enriched our experience.

This tour opens up Busan with its varied settings with both ancient and more recent history. Our tour guide's liveliness and exceptional English skills made the tour feel like spending time with a close friend. It was very easy to ask questions and engage in the tour. I recommend this tour for anyone who loves sightseeing.

nowledgeable, we had a great day out exploring Busan, perfect for a day and not feel too tired nor rushed. Jade was open and flexible with our itinerary. Highly recommend!

Jade was a very excellent tour guide. As it has been only us 2 and him we had a lot of time to ask a lot of questions and he telling us a lot about Korean history, everyday life and his personal life insights. Despite this highlight we really liked to have a walk through the fish market and taking a walk in the ocean temple.

Fantastic Busan tour with amazing guides Jade and Jino. Definitely recommend this private tour for anyone visiting Busan. Jade and Jino were the best! Wish we could have had them on all of our Busan tours.

We didn't have much time to visit Busan and we knew there was a LOT to see and do, so we decided to book a private tour–and we couldn't be happier! The pacing and variety of activities was perfect for what we wanted. Jade was able to answer all of our questions and really went out of his way to make sure we got what we wanted out of the tour. He is very knowledgeable and even helped us find restaurants and fun things to do after the tour! He was patient and kind, and I think he would be great helping families get the most out of their trips, too! We've travelled extensively, and this was definitely a world-class experience. Do not hesitate to book if you can afford it, and DO reach out to Jade before the tour if you have any concerns or specific areas of interest. Perfect from start to finish!

Had an absolutely fantastic day in Busan with guide Jade Kim. He is very knowledgeable and informative about the Korean War and Korean History. He speaks fantastic English and went the extra mile to show us different areas of Busan. A wonderful day!! Highly recommended!!!

My friends and I had such a fun time touring with our guide, Jade. He was very informative with a sense of humor. We learned a lot about Busan culture and the history of the places we saw. My favorite was the village. Thank you Jade!

Our family just returned from a trip to South Korea and have to say that our private Busan city tour was the highlight. Jade is very knowledgeable about Busan, Korea, and the culture and history of both. We saw a lot and learned a lot on this trip. Worth every penny - we highly recommend!

Me and my parents took this Busan city tour. Jade who was our guide is very informative and approachable. We enjoyed Jagaichi fish market, culture village, Beomeosa Temple and observatory. The mountain observatory was the best place for me as well as we had tea time in a cafe on the mountain. According to Jade, he always takes time in a cafe with other tourists that's why he can be more like friend than tourguide. while we were drinking tea, he told us many things about Korea such as history and political situation. It was really good to understand culture and history. I highly recommend this tour and Jade.

Jade was an amazing guide for tour of Busan! We only had one day and we were lucky enough to find the perfect one that showed us the flavor and culture of Busan. The cultural village and the Korean cemetary were my favorites. The local lunch was amazing in a local restaurant and the street food that Jade treated us to was great! The views from the observatory were breathtaking also. Greaet day!

This was a different kind of trip, I was travelling with my 87-year-old grandmother and comfort was a high priority. I initially was skeptical about the cost for a day but it was totally worth it. Jade Kim was a great tour guide. He made it all exciting and brought us around to the two sites (Gamcheon was lovely and Beomeosa was a better stop than the touristy Haedong Yonggungsa). For IG users: Jade also takes the best pictures! So do note. Food recommendations were also on point, none of the tourist eats. Great value for money if you are not keen on typical touristy stuff. 15/10 will recommend!

Jade was a great guide for our day trip around Busan. He took us to some of the best places in the city. We went to Beomeosa Temple, Gukje Market, Gamcheon Village, BIFF Square, Jagalchi Fish Market and my favourite Hwangnyeonsan Mountain for a cool view of the city (photo attached) We really enjoyed the tour and Jade was a really friendly guide who gave us all the information we needed about the places we visited. On top of the tour he suggested some local dishes for us to try and other cool places we should check out on our trip. 100% recommend Jade and this tour to others.

Jade Kim is an amazing guide and our trip was really fantastic even though it was raining that day! There's six of us in the group, we thought the weather will just be cloudy. Jade was prepared with umbrellas for each of us. The tour must go on and it did! The group were all passionate about culture and we're first to arrived at this colorful Gamcheon Culture Village. We had fun taking pictures while walking in the rain! Jade took us to an authentic Korean Restaurant for lunch and sumptuous Sulbing sweet. Jade is a careful driver, when he took us to Boemeosa Temple, it was still raining and it's far from the city. We've made it safe and on time to the cruise ship. Overall, Jade showed us to places that you couldn't possibly experience on your own. Jade's excellent knowledge of Busan was literally enlightening. The group enjoyed his tour and if ever we will come back to Busan, we hope Jade would still be available. I highly recommend Jade to friends and family for sure.

Very grateful for Jade, amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. The tour was a private with only our family. He picked us up from our hotel lobby and dropped us off. We wouldn’t have been able to see everything we did by ourselves, so this tour is a must when visiting Busan.

Jade was a great guide for us. He made the trip feel a little more authentic and told us a few things and showed us places that you couldn't possibly experience on your own. He's a friendly and experienced guide. Also he's a safe driver which seems to not be common in Busan! We enjoyed the tour so much that we're thinking about taking another tour with Jade. We really enjoyed the Songdo beach sky walk and Gamcheon village. Gamcheon is a tourist spot but even still, Jade was able to show us some great photo spots. All in all we had a great day and would recommend for sure.

I went to Busan with my husband and my two teenage children for holidays in December. I have to say that we made a wise decision to join this private tour. We all had a great time and we loved every place we visited. Our guide, Jade Kim, was very organised, knowledgeable and helpful. He even took us to two interesting spots that we did not expect to visit! Overall, everything was perfectly planned, we enjoyed it a lot and we highly recommend this tour.

Jade was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable! He took great pictures for mom and i. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a fantastic tour

<p>Being on a cruise, we had only one day to spend in Busan. Our group of six booked a private guide and car for a day-long tour on Oct 07, 2018. Jade Kim was our English-speaking guide and driver. Knowing our time limitation he created and flawlessly executed a tour that gave us the best views and highlights of the city. We saw a lot without being rushed and felt comparable the full day. The visibility was great so he chose to drive us up to the observatory mountain for a fantastic 360 view of the city and surrounding area. The views were amazing. Jade was also knowledgeable in our visits to historic places of Beomeosa Temple, the fish market, Gamcheon Culture Village and shopping areas. He drove skillfully through the streets of Busan. We had a Korean lunch at a family-run restaurant and time for coffee at the top of the mountain. Jade was pleasant, friendly, speaking good English, knowledgeable, which gave us a good sense of the city and memorable experiences. We highly recommend the tour and Jade as a guide.</p>

My wife and I were in Busan to visit our daughter who lives here teaching English. We wanted a tour that would give us a broad spectrum of experiences in one day. We found right answer. The tour was well planed and we loved each stop. Our tour guide Jay Song was amazing. Her English was excellent and her knowledge of the places that we visited was exceptional. She made us feel like old friends having a visit together. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and highly recommend this tour and especially our tour guide Jay Song!!! Perfect Day!

<p>Tour itinerary was well planned, and our guide, Michelle was lovely. She was well informed of the attractions and covered enough detail for each stop. The pace was good too, even with quite a bit of walking around. Our favourite was definitely the colourful Gamcheon Culture Village, or the Korean Santorini equivalent as the locals call it.<br/> However, after completing the tour, we felt it was slightly pricey for the places covered as they were relatively touristy. On hindsight, if I had found more information in English to take us around Busan, I probably wouldn't have needed to go with this!</p>

<p>Michelle was our driver and guide for this tour. She was absolutely delightful! So sweet and full of positive energy! The Gamcheon Culture Village is a MUST! It had snowed two days prior to our trip in Busan and we got to see the snow falling off the roofs of the Beomeosa Temple where there were services in process. We went to the top of the Busan Tower which afforded many wonderful view of Busan which is a thriving, clean city. We had a large lunch at a little cafe in the town. Michelle did a GREAT job. We highly recommend both the tour and our guide.</p>

<p>Very happy with the tour : Our guide was knowledgable and the trip was so personalised.</p>

<p>Our group of four had only one full day to spend in Busan and booked a private guide and car for a day-long tour on November 17, 2017. Jade Kim was our English-speaking guide and driver. He understood we had only the one day, and he thoughtfully constructed a tour that gave us the best views and highlights of the city. Rather than take us to Busan Tower for a limited view of the city, he drove us up the mountain to Hwangnyeongsan Observatory that fulfilled his promise of a view that would be 800 better. It was spectacular! Photos attached A true bird-eye view of the impressive cityscape. Jade was also knowledgeable in our visits to Beomeosa Temple, the fish market, Gamcheon Culture Village and shopping areas. He drove skillfully through the confusing streets of Busan, and arranged a delicious and satisfying Korean lunch at a family-run restaurant. Although our time in Busan was brief, Jade was able to give us a sense of the city and memorable experiences. We highly recommend the tour and our guide.</p>

<p>Had a wonderful time in Busan! Our tour guide was from the area and gave us such wonderful insight into the city. We were able to explore places that made us fall in love with Busan. Thank you!</p>

<p>Great Customer Service and Travel Experience! We highly recommend this tour with the amazing service, hospitality, knowledge info and experience we had with our tour guide - Mr. Jade Kim. We booked this tour on the height of the Golden Week holiday in Korea. There were high number of tourists both local and foreign as well as heavy traffic around the area where holiday makers converge as well as the main highway. Our tour guide Jade did his best to make sure that we don't get tired and made us feel comfortable. He offered us alternatives and readily agrees to our suggestions so we can make the most of time. I would highly recommend this tour and kudos to Jade Kim for your great service because of this tour we learned more about the culture, beauty and history of Busan. I will be back again :</p>
