“The drive to it really whorts it”
The drive takes about 75 minutes from Busan. Once you get to the first, visiting is when we realize why we booked. Our guide was the best. We shared many stories, and late in the day, she took us to a traditional Korean local restaurant where we had a feast. That place is a must-visit.

Thank you very much, Alberto, for your kind words. We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with our guide Kim and had such a wonderful experience, especially with the local feast. We hope to welcome you back to Korea again for more special memories.

“Fabulous Private Tour of Busan”
We came into Busan via the Diamond Princess today and had a wonderful private tour. Dylan was very responsive before our tour, and customized our 8-hour tour to meet our needs. Our guide, Jino, was early to meet us at the cruise terminal and we were quickly off to explore. The van was very comfortable, roomy and cool, and we learned so much about Busan during our ride to the first stop. Our guide was a safe, efficient driver and a personable, bright and engaging person. Jino was very sensitive to our ship’s schedule and we were safely back to the cruise terminal well in advance of the all aboard. Highly recommend this tour and guide.
Dylan K.
Dear Deborah, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a kind review. I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your day in Busan with Jino. He will be very glad to know that his effort and warm personality made your experience special. It was my pleasure to arrange the tour for you, and I’m grateful that everything went smoothly with your schedule and return to the ship. I hope the memories you made in Busan will stay with you for a long time, and I would be delighted to welcome you back to Korea again in the future. Wishing you safe travels and many more wonderful journeys ahead. Warm regards, Dylan
