We had an absolutely amazing time on our Busan Highlights Tour with Luke! He was truly the best guide we could have asked for.. He was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, engaging, and respectful. He made every stop enjoyable, shared so much interesting information, and went above and beyond to make sure we got to see everything we wanted. It never felt rushed or like a cookie-cutter tour — it felt like exploring Busan with a friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. He also gave us some fantastic recommendations for how to spend the rest of our evening on our own, which was such a thoughtful touch! We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're visiting Busan, do yourself a favor and ask for Luke to be your guide. You won't regret it! He made our time in Busan extra special, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Five stars all the way!

the places included in the city tour with cable car experience were top notch and must see. Suki, our guide was fantastic, very hospitable and welcoming and warm. Very must recommended
An excellent tour of Busan with Danny who was a first class guide. Danny was very knowledgeable and gave us great information. He knows Busan very well and went out of his way to make sure that we enjoyed our tour. The schedule for the full day tour was perfect and Danny was happy to accommodate our wishes. We never felt rushed and Danny let us spend the time we wished at each location. 10 stars out of 5! Thanks to Danny for a great day in Busan.
Our tour guide is experienced and was the best… he’s picture taking skills was the best… I highly recommend
Highly recommend this “taste of Seoul tour” with our charming. professional and attentive tour guide, Song. This was my first time visiting Korea and this tour was jam packed with a myriad of activities, sights and tastes. It was made especially memorable because of Song. We also met two amazing travelers from Ireland . First stop was at a Hanbok Rental Shop. Highly recommend you immerse yourself by wearing the beautiful hanboks. You will not regret it. Hint , it allows entrance into the palace. Next, we visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace and watched the changing of the guard ceremony. Song instinctively chose the perfect photo places and expertly took photos of our group. In between, Song shared historical anecdotes with us. Stop 2 Cable car to North Seoul Tower. Excellent view, locks atop the mountain and we were fortunate to experience a festival and crafts that day. We were given time to explore . Stop 3 Gwangjung Market , my favorite stop. So many choice of traditional Korean foods displayed next to each other. My mouth watered and my head spun from all the delicious options. Song kindly introduced us to the most amazing fried mung bean pancakes with pork, delicious gimbal, clam soup… My stomach is still thanking her. Lol Stop 4, Traditional tea ceremony on Instadong Art street. We had an absolute blast. Songs gentle guidance, lovely personality and understanding when we wanted time to explore versus time to immerse made this a wonderful experience! Thank you Song. Loved it!
We had Luke as our tour guide. He was lovely, knowledgeable, a good driver. Being a holiday he asked if we could change up the order of our location visits a bit to ensure we could maximize our time and not be stuff in traffic as much. Highly recommend this tour with Luke.
Luke was very attentive, kind, informative and takes great photos of us. His English was excellent and always prompt as well as making us feel at home!
Mrs Jae Song was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide, who adapted the programme to our preferences. It was really great to see the highlights of Busan with someone who knows the city inside out. From the dragon palace temple to Gamcheon cultural village, having lunch at Jagalchi fishmarket and so much more. It was a splendid tour!
Thank you for an excellent small group tour discovering Busan! Jay Song, our lovely tour guide led us through the day with good knowledge of Busan, Korean culture, daily life and history. She picked us up at the hotel, and let us discover the Haedong Younggungsa Temple, Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan Tower and markets. She served us water and icecream in the heat. At lunchtime we went to a really good Korean Barbeque restaurant, before going to Songdo Ocean Cable Car, and finally the Dongbaek park. We could not have asked for a better guide than Jay Song. Cheerful, with excellent service and care! Loved it all!
Amazing day around Busan with guide Jay Song. She was easy going, with a great sense of humor and knowledgeable. Despite hot weather she guided us efficiently and safely to some of Busans highlights. Highly recommend to go to her suggested Korean bbq for lunch, it was delicious!
Great start seeing a temple and then different parts of Busan from the markets to the APEC centre. Luke was a great guide very friendly and kind, spoke excellent English and was patient with our two children as well. He went out of his way to stop at a shop when I requested to pick up some Korean whiskey as a gift. Would definitely recommend him to others. Vehicle was clean and AC worked well.
We had a nice small group of 4 people in all. We were very well looked after by Luke. He was thoughtful to the older members in the group. He was friendly and chatty and there was a good vibe to the group. There was a good mix of sights he took us to keeping us informed as we went, about Korean life in general as well as the sights we were visiting. I would definitely recommend this tour and Luke as a guide.
We had a wonderful day touring Busan with our guide Jay Song. She was incredibly knowledgeable, punctual, friendly, and spoke excellent English. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable day visiting the key sights of Busan. The viewpoints she showed us from Gamcheon Cultural village were truly amazing! She also took great care of us, introduced us to local snacks like potato mozzarella hot dog (my daughter loved it!) and ensured we got the best pictures and even clicked photos from her phone and sent us afterwards. Do not hesitate to book a tour with her! A special thank you to her for personally assisting us with purchasing tickets for the famous Sky capsule train ride as the tickets on the website were sold out! But her prompt service was helpful and she secured tickets for us on the day of the tour and we could tick off one more iconic activity of Busan. We left Busan with a huge smile on our faces and very content with the entire tour. Highly recommended!
This was one of the best tours in our South Korea trip.Each and every part of Busan which needed to be seen was included.And our guide Mina was simply awesome.She explained about every place we visited and took extremely good care of us. She is easily the best tour guide we have ever encountered and I have travelled a lot!! A highly recommended tour when you are in Busan
Our guide, Jake, was THE BEST! He has a wonderful personality, very knowledgeable & entertaining. We were able to visit places we never would have found. Busan is beautiful, the people are beautiful and the food is delicious.

This tour was exciting and educational. We learned more about Busan and fall in love with it. Our guide, Luke was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and kind. We took out the Blue-line capsule from his itinerary since we took it the day before and added the white fox village. He was accompanying our request and considerate to our needs. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Busan. If you are lucky, you will be guided by Luke. 😊
This was a great way to see some of the tourist sites in Busan and see some amazing views of the city. We absolutely loved it and Luke was a great guide.
Julia truly went extra miles to make this experience unforgettable. She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, making sure we felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. No question ever felt rushed or ignored, and they took extra time to share insights and help whenever needed. Her genuine passion and warm personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—highly recommended!
Great tour way an awesome guide, Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly . she took us to many areas we would not have found ourselves.
We had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide was Jay Song, she was super informative and also gave us lots of extra suggestions and info to make our stay in Busan all the better.
Kassy was amazing and very friendly & knowledgeable. It was a full day filled with experiences we wouldn’t have had on our own! The time allotted for each place worked for us. Totally enjoyed the wonderful lunch at the restaurant she recommended!! Will definitely share this with our friends who may be visiting Busan!
Luke was incredible! He catered the pace of the tour to our interests and made sure we had great photos at each spot. Luke took care of the tickets, parking and guided us through each location with confidence, which made everything effortless for us. Luke was knowledgeable about the city and shared his passion for Busan. He was polite, caring and lots of fun. This is the Busan tour not to be missed. Thank you so much, we truly enjoyed today.
This tour is a comprehensive overview of Busan and great value for money. Our tour guide Luke was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Luke paced the tour well and made sure we had a great lunch experience at the fish market.
Luke was an awesome guide and showed us the best of Busan. His English was excellent and we enjoyed his company. He gave us plenty of information on Busan’s history and its history, and was a careful and patient driver. It was a great day, highly recommended.
Mimi was the best! Her knowledge of Busan was abundant and she was always making sure she told us little tid bits about everything we’d drive or walk by. She knew all the cute spots to take pictures and always offering to take them! I highly recommend this small intimate tour and I highly recommend Mimi!
Anne was THE best tour guide! She is so friendly, kind, and super informative in all the destinations we hit. Everyone in our group really appreciated her as our guide and would 100% recommend this tour and Anne to anyone wanting to do a full day in Busan! The van we traveled in was clean, comfortable, and had the nicest driver as well, who recommended some local restaurants and even made reservations for us. Everyone gave it a two thumbs up, but would give more if we could. :)
This small group tour was an amazing experience for my entire family! Luke is an exceptional tour guide! He is kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond our expectations and made our tour such a memorable experience. We saw all of the beautiful hidden gems that Busan and the surrounding areas have to offer. It was so much fun for our family and we would highly recommend this to family and friends!
It’s the best day in Busan to drive around visiting these places with Luke. The temple, the glass bridge, taking sky capsule along seaside, the gondola ride, H A Chen village, BIFf, etc. Do much to see in a clear and sunny day
Jay was an amazing Tour Guide, a local of Busan who spoke English perfectly, which made for an amazing day. She knew the right order of stops to avoid traffic and busy times and found close parking and managed all tickets and entries with ease. She offered us guidance about prices for shopping and helped us take amazing photos. She was prompt and and after a wonderful explanations of the area gave us free time in each location. She clearly arranged meet up time and spot and kept track of everyone in the group. I can’t believe we fit everything in one day! This tour is a must do if you only have one day in Busan! Jay was an amazing guide ❤️
It was a lovely day . We were collected in the morning from our hotel.Which very convenient, because it was our first day in Busan. The tour guide Younhee, was a lovely lady with lots of knowledge.We have a wonderful day with a very tasty lunch.
We had an amazing experience exploring Busan! Our tour guide Luke was very helpful and nice. He even showed us a more local spot to see the view of Gamcheon. I knew I wanted to see the popular sites in Busan and this tour covered all of them. Even tough our weather wasn’t the best (very cloudy) I still saw the beauty of this city. Luke was very sweet and talkative, we really enjoyed his company. At the end of the tour, he even recommended us a place to eat at Gukje Market. I really recommend this tour for anyone who wishes to see the incredible beauty of this city.
Lots of stairs. Mimi was our guide, she was very knowledgeable about the area. Saw some great things. In some spots it would of been nice to have a bit more time. No lunch break.
Great tour that packed a lot into one day- all the Busan highlights. Knowledgeable guide/driver with good English skills and a very comfortable van.
The tour was super comfortable and very interesting inspite of rains because of our Tour Guide: Luke. Luke is an incredible intelligent, well mannered, Talented and well informed individual who can converse in English and Korean. He knows the local area very well and will go an extra mile to keep you happy and comfortable. My family are vegetarian and he made sure that he took us to a vegan restaurant where we can have pur lunch. When it was raining he provided us with umbrellas and swiftly changed plans to suit the weather so that we can fully enjoy activities inspite of the rain. We visited all the locations and Luke gave us key insights of every location. He infact clicked our family snaps as well. I strongly recommend the tour for all visitors who want an english speaking guide who is also very knowledgeable and can add value to your sight seeing experience. The vehicle was very clean and also very comfortable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was a great tour around Busan. Luke was an amazing tour host and I would highly recommend doing this tour. We had a great time. Thanks Luke
Amazing Busan Trip with an AMAZING guide. Luke, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the area and was very accommodating in ensuring our tour was what we wanted to experience. He was also very willing to be our photographer for the day, which made capturing our trip that much memorable, since we didn't have to take too many selfies. (he knows ALL the great picture spots) Would HIGHLY recommend this tour and ask for Luke!!!
It's very good tour. We're lucky that just us on the tour. The tour guide Luke was very nice. He helped us many things including buying train tickets for us to go to Seoul from Busan.
Our tour guide Luke was excellent, the aighseeing part was v good! We enjoyed every visit, Luke was patient, gave is time everywhere, enjoyed the cable car ride and also the beach train! Overall great day!
We had a wonderful day spent with Luke as our guide. His kindness and professionalism made this tour memorable. He was kind enough to let us go at our pace and was a willing photographer, even recommending places to take pictures. He’s also knowledgeable about Busan and its history.
It was supposed to be a small group tour, but ended up with a private tour instead. Min was on time and was full of energy and enthusiasm despite being older than my husband and me. What i liked about this tour, is that it allowed us to modify the itirenary based on our needs. We had already done the Busan Beach train, skywalk, and Cheoingsapo the day before; all covered on tour itinerary. She agreed to change part of the itirenary and drove us another 1 hour further out to see the bamboo forest and being a BTS fan Jimin's dad Cafe. An 8-hour day turned out to be a 13-hour day, and I had the best time. If you have limited time in Busan, this is how to hit all the highlights in a day.
My family and I joined another tourist and our tour guide for the best of the best of Busan! We loved the tour because it was only 6 of us so easy to talk and ask questions and also get to know our guide a bit. Very nice and knowledgeable young man. Loved the balance of moving and learning about Busan but also some restful times/breaks and amazing views and delicious food. Great weather for all the activities we did too.
Julia was excellent, professional and told us a lot about each location. She was quick to guide you to something that was eventful.
Fantastic day with small Group. Luke our Tour guide spoke brilliant English and ensured that we all had a enjoyable time. We would not have been able to see as much much as we did without him.
We had a great tour with Paul, who showed us great sights around Busan and knew a lot of interesting facts, that he shared with us. We were able to adapt the tour to our likes and dislikes and Paul had several great recommendations for our further stay. We definitely recommend the tour for an enjoyable and relaxed experience in Busan!
Highly recommend this tour and our guide Luke. Good communication beforehand, comfortable transportation, multi-destinations and unexpected surprises. Luke was flexible as some people had dietary restrictions and took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch. He was also engaging w group, very informative and did not rush us. Five stars ⭐️
Wookie was the best guide ever. He was stellar! As our child says, he is 11 out of 10!! Very personable and knowledgeable. He was very caring and understanding during the whole trip. He went above and beyond his duty and even found our backpack that we lost at the KTX train station the previous day. He always had a smile on his face. We would love to have him as our guide again!!!
An easy and comfortable way to see the main attractions in Busan, which are generally far from each other. Worth the money.
Yeon was a fantastic tour guide! He is professional, warm, knowledgeable, and an all around great person. He was so helpful to us and felt more like a family friend when our daughter had a medical emergency in the middle of the tour. We are so grateful for his guidance & compassion. Thank you so much Yeon!
Great mix of locations to get the essence of Busan and surrounding area. Our guide customized the locations as the day progressed. Luke was engaging and took us to an authentic Korean restaurant for lunch. Highly recommend this your especially if it’s your first time in Busan.
