There were 14 in our group. The Temple was stunning, some of the group did struggle with the steps at the temple , but it was the highlight of the day. Many more stops on this fast paced tour but we did have time to stop for a truly delicious korean food lunch. This is a full on tour, but if you only have limited time its perfect. Cassie made sure to get us back to the port in in good time.

Excellent tour! - Lovely tour guide Mimi took us to major sites in Busan. 15 of us on the tour which was just about right. Stopped for lunch of Korean barbecue which was fun. We had plenty of time at each stop and Mimi was always mindful of the fact we had a ship to catch, which we managed in good time.

Responsible and reliable tour guide and driver - Tour guide was very responsible. Always responded to my questions/concerns that I had before the tour started. He was very flexible in the itinerary and very accommodating. Since the tour was 6-8 hours, our biggest concern was to ensure we were able to return to the boat on time. We had a wonderful time in Busan, and we returned to the cruise terminal an hour before the ship departure time 👏

Cruise Layover; Small Group Busan Highlight Day Tour - Prior to the tour, communication with the tour operator was great. They assured us we would be picked up and dropped off in time to meet the ship’s requirement. We had a great tour guide “ Harry”. Before our tour began, Harry texted to say he had arrived at the port. We met with two other couples who had also signed up for this tour from our ship. This tour encompassed many stops - Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Nurimaru APEC House, Gamecheon Cultural Village and UN Memorial Cemetery with enough time to wonder each site on our own. Harry discussed each site as we traveled and gave us a sense of what was happening in Busan. Upon arrival at the sites, he pointed out great picture locations with some history tidbits and answered questions. For lunch (cost not included in tour but very reasonable) he took us to a nice South Korean BBQ family restaurant where we enjoyed plentiful and unique tastes. The tour lasted approximately seven and an half hours and we arrived back at the port with plenty of time before sail away. Overall, our experience with Harry was wonderful and we would definitely recommend this tour.
