Wonderful guide

It was a wonderful time with our tour guide Gina. She prepared magic tricks for the kids and explained many cultural/historical things to us while on the bus. Dylan planned and communicated with me very well and responded quickly. This is our first time using Gowithguide website and I think it was a big success. I highly recommend this tour guide!

Dylan- great Busan guide!

Dylan was very informative and entertaining , with a fine command of English. He guided us thru the Haedong Yonggunsa temple complex, the Gamcheon Village, and the Songdo Skywalk. He was always ready to take photos. At the end he got us back safely to our ship. A very memorable tour- we really liked Busan!

Busan highlights

Jake (Jaekyoung) our tour guide was the perfect host of his city. The business of the tourist spots seemed effortless with Jake’s expertise. My mother has accessibility needs and he was very supportive of these needs. His knowledge and willingness to share information on the places we visited was amazing. I could not recommend this service and Jake in particular enough.

It means a lot to us that he was able to support your mother’s accessibility needs with care and professionalism. We’ll be sure to pass your message along to him—he’ll be very happy to hear this. If you ever return to Korea, we’d love to welcome you again. Warm regards, Dylan
