Contact your local guide to know more!!
I really wanted to see some of the lesser known spots around Busan. Jay was great at showing some places off the beaten path and was knowledgeable about the history too. He was able to pick a lunch spot that could accommodate my many dietary restrictions. He was friendly and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Jay!

Jay was an excellent guide. His English is excellent and he knows every place you might want to explore. There was always a parking space for him near the attractions. You can trust Jay to provide a good experience.
