Reviews

Busan Private Tour with Driver and car

Since Dylan had a scheduling conflict, he assigned Lily to be our guide for the day. We couldn't have been happier! She was extremely professional, was fun to be with, took our needs into consideration -- an A+ all around! Dylan was super responsive as well as a fantastic communicator and helped us in obtaining tickets for the sky capsule which wasn't even part of the original plan! Extremely pleased with both of these guides.

Great Day in Busan!

My husband and I had a great time with Dylan exploring Busan. He is a very knowledgeable guide of the area. We were able to see so much of Busan during our day. We enjoyed exploring the fish market and coffee place. Thank you for everything, Dylan! I would highly recommend him if you are planning a trip to Busan.

Amazing Jinju and Changwon tour

Dylan was very kind to organise another tour guide named Jason who guided me to Jinju and Changwon. I had an excellent time with Jason and we visited Jinju fortress, Junnam wetlands, March 1960 memorial grave and many famous Catholic churches across both areas. I am impressed by Jason's wealth of knowledge about all the Korean sites and he has the ability to explain the subject in a way that it is understandable for everyone. We also had time to eat delicious dinner in Jagalchi market afterwards. I'll certainly learned a lot from his tour and will definitely use his service again in future.

Busan is not industrial city, but also city of commercial, movie, festivals and holidays. We roughly divide busan into two, East Busan and West Busan. In the east of Busan, we have beaches, mountains, hot spring and ocean. After the sky-capsule, we may try authentic food of Busan and S. Korea. Nampodong area, the origin of Busan is located in the west part of Busan. Nampo is the 1st downtown of Busan. Nearby Nampodong there is Gamcheon cultural village. It's a must-see place.
