We got the 8 hour tour and it was great. They picked us up at the hotel and were very punctual, meeting us at the appointed time. The guide was very easy to understand and spoke English very well. The van that was used to take us around Busan was very nice and spacious for 4 people. An extra person could have easily fit in and still would have been comfortable. The guide took us to all the places that we were most interested in and always accompanied us through the sites. We didn't really interact with the driver at all, but he was friendly and drove the van smoothly. Some taxi drivers that we encountered were very heavy on the gas and break which made for a nauseous experience, but not our guide driver. Great tour and my group would definitely book through Get Your Guide in the future.

We love our experience and time with Mr. SEO (or Mr. SAM) who was our private driver taking us around Busan city. Even with the langugue barrier, he tried his best to communicate and assist us with his ability. He is the sweetest and the kindest one. We had the best time. Thank you Get Your Guide and Limo Korea Tour for arranging this tour perfectly. -Sunny from Texas-

Well organized, leaned so much about the food itself, proper Korean table manners, and culture behind the food, as well as the traditional aprons we wore, plus the meal we prepared was SOOO delicious. I’ve had all these dishes at restaurants, and ours was better! Min finished with a beautiful tea ceremony. We couldn’t be happier.
