“Best Guide on Our Trip!”
Finn was by far the best guide we had on our trip. He showed us Busan with knowledge, humor and flexibility! His command of the English language was excellent! He not only spoke English well, more importantly- he understood us and our questions and requests. As we wanted to deviate from the original itinerary and not go to the shrine, Finn made a great suggestion and took us to the beach. We walked along a special trail along the coastline that was very beautiful. Afterwards, we had a lovely tea in a traditional Korean cafe. It was delicious. From there, Finn drove us to the fish market where we marveled at the abundance of seafood varieties. He helped us order lunch on the second floor. He accompanied us as we walked through the other parts of the market and showed me where to buy beauty products. All day, I barraged Finn with questions about his life and culture and he was a terrific sport and shared a lot about South Korea and its culture as well as a little about his personal life. We really enjoyed our conversations with Finn. He also took us to Gamcheon Cultural Village and explained the history behind these colorful buildings. Then… off to finish off our tour riding the cable cars. We enjoyed the day so much! I highly highly recommend Finn. He is the best!

“Smooth Transfer from Yokohama to Gracery Hotel”
We used GoWithTaxi to get from the Yokohama passenger terminal to the Gracery Hotel. The driver was on time, polite, and the car was clean and comfortable. The journey was smooth and stress-free, and the price was very good for the service. Highly recommended.

“Best day in Busan! ”
️️️️️ Our day in Busan was absolutely incredible thanks to our amazing tour guide and wonderful driver, Jason. From start to finish, we felt like VIPs! Jason delivered every detail perfectly, blending stunning scenery, cultural insight, and local charm in a way we could never have done on our own. We began at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, the beautiful “temple by the sea,” where Jason shared its fascinating history and helped us capture amazing photos. Moving on we loved riding the Blue Line Capsule Cars with breathtaking views of the coastline. Busan X the Sky was another highlight, and Jason made sure we experienced it at just the right time to avoid crowds. As well as the Songdo Cable Cars. Exploring Gamcheon Culture Village was like stepping into a storybook. Colorful, artistic, and full of meaning thanks to Jason’s thoughtful explanations. We also made a stop at the lively Jagalchi Fish Market, learning about Busan’s seafood culture and sampling fresh local specialties. Jason was knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about sharing his city. He was professional and made the whole day smooth and comfortable. This was a true five-star experience that we’ll remember forever. We could not have asked for a better guide or a more perfect day in Busan!

Don’t tip your guide in South Korea. Why? Because it carries a different cultural meaning than in other countries. In Korea, it can be taken as rude and offensive, as if you’re insulting the person by calling them poor. Instead, leave them a five star review and refer their services to other travelers.
Generally, September to October is seen as the ideal travel time in terms of weather. Not too hot, not too wet, and not too cold, these seasons are ideal for indoor and outdoor activities in Busan.
