Steven, our guide shared lots of information about each site we visited. Understanding the history or significance made our visit much more meaningful. The day was long but Steven was very communicative through the entire day starting with notifying us of a delay due to a vehicle fire in a tunnel enroute to our hotel. There are so many logistical challenges that a group tour guide encounters but Steven handled each situation with efficiency and professionalism. The tour itself included many of the Busan highlights “in a day”. The sequence of the attractions were organized well. There were adequate toilet and snack stops along the way. We were lucky we had a day of sunshine (albeit hot) and not too much heavy traffic! Touring in a small group is always my preference versus a 40+ pax bus. It allows you to see and experience more places and keeps the day flexible. Door to door pick up and drop off was a nice bonus! Thank you Steven for a fantastic introduction to Busan!

One of the easiest and smoothest tour I've ever done! Jun, our van driver, also became our tour guide! He gave us tips, facts and also organized our entire itinerary. Korea Joy tour even reached out to us and checked if we have done our restaurant and tour bookings yet. Because we are non-Koreans, it's tricky to book the sky capsule online so Korea Joy tour booked it for us. They also booked our Mipojib restaurant reservation ahead of time! Korea Joy tour also replies very efficiently and quickly on whatsapp. What a breeze! I recommend them to all my friends who are going to Busan soon! Thank you so much Jun and the entire company!
