I am very satisfied with this Gyeongju one-day tour! The itinerary was smooth, the timing was just right, and I was able to visit all the attractions fully. Even though our Chinese-speaking guide Mina is Korean, she spoke Chinese very fluently and her explanations were kind and professional. The self-paid buffet for lunch was great value for money and had a rich variety of food. Seeing the beautiful autumn leaves and persimmon trees full of fruit along the way made the trip feel full of autumn vibes. It was a wonderful journey that is highly recommended!
On 10/18, my husband and I joined this time-saving and worry-free Busan highlights day tour. The overall experience was well worth the price!
Although time was limited and the itinerary was packed, our guide Vivian led us efficiently through 4 highlight spots, saving us all the hassle and trouble of arranging transportation ourselves:
Haedong Yonggungsa Temple: We enjoyed the magnificent seaside temple scenery first thing in the morning, which was so refreshing.
Blue Line Park: Even though we didn't ride the coastal train or capsule train this time, our guide Vivian kindly walked with us along the trail back to the pick-up point and even professionally helped us take some beautiful photos along the way!
Gamcheon Culture Village: The view of the colorful houses was spectacular and beautiful. Although time was tight and we could only take quick photos, we were still deeply impressed.
Huinnyeoul Culture Village: We arrived near sunset. Even though we only walked through a few small alleys, Vivian enthusiastically introduced local cafes to us. We tried the 'yellow cheese ice cream croffle' she recommended, and it was seriously super delicious!
Thanks to guide Vivian for her thoughtful care and warm service for tourists from all over, which made our Busan day tour such a wonderful and fulfilling memory. Highly recommended for friends who want to explore Busan's highlights in a relaxing way!
The Sky Capsule was at 5:00 PM, so it was just around sunset. It seems like departing from Mipo is more popular, but at sunset, you should take the one heading toward Mipo. The rail isn't on the ocean side, but you don't miss the view of the sea either, and the capsule moving toward the sunset was really nice. Also, the Cheongsapo Daritdol Observatory Skywalk near the grilled shellfish place was super scary! It was night and dark, but the glass floor lets you see down, and it felt like the bridge was shaking in the strong wind, so I had a lot of fun. I was too scared to do the whole loop (lol). Also, since it was Saturday, I got off at Gwangalli to see the drone show, but it was crowded and I think it was fine to skip it. I felt I should have just stayed with everyone and taken the ride to Seopo until the end. Our guide Jimin spoke in Japanese so that we Japanese could understand, took photos for us, and was such a great guy. Thank you!
The whole trip was fantastic. The driver was young and spoke excellent English. Although the itinerary was a bit tight, it would have been even better if there had been more time between stops, but it was still a great experience. The driver was very stable, and I didn't get carsick at all. He also provided comprehensive explanations of the sights and attractions.
The Korean tour guide John was excellent. His Chinese is great, he explained the simple historical background very clearly, and he is super professional at taking photos! The scenery in every area was beautiful. It was a pity that the skywalk at Oryukdo was temporarily closed due to strong winds that day. The food at Jagalchi Market was quite tasty, though the prices are something to consider~(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
