Initially, we booked this tour mainly for the Hwangyeongsan Mountain, but after actually visiting, we found that Gamcheon and Songdo are also great places to visit at night, unlike the mornings when there are long queues for photos. You might even encounter cats you can take pictures with! The tour guide emailed us the license plate number the day before, the pick-up and drop-off were smooth, and her driving skills were excellent. She even took us to the exit closest to our accommodation at Seomyeon Station. Although we didn't buy a tour that included night photography, our guide, Zoe, was incredibly kind. She took many photos for us with her phone (her own phone photos are also beautiful, and she's super slim!), and recommended posing techniques. For my family, who are usually shy and don't like taking pictures, it was easy to create many wonderful memories. Zoe's English is very fluent, and if we had a slight misunderstanding, she would try to explain or look up a translator for me. Our conversations during the trip also answered many of my questions about Busan. Since I don't speak Korean, getting a local's perspective was a great experience! I highly recommend it to anyone planning a self-guided trip to Busan!
