Let me take you to the main attractive places in town, to experience the real beauty of Busan. I work as tour guide and drive my car. Busan is located on the southeastern tip of the Korean peninsula and the second largest city in South Korea about 770Km2 with 3. 5 million citizens. Busan is a perfect example of harmony between mountains, rivers and sea. You visit unique style Buddhist temple along the shoreline.

Helena was absolutely amazing! She was wonderful answering all of our questions, and flexible with what we wanted to do. She taught us so much about Busan. It truly felt like we were exploring the city with a fun, smart friend. This was my favorite day on my Korea trip! Thank you so much Helena!

Excellent city tour. Visited the major sights within the city. We were not rushed and had enough time to see each of the attractions. Helena was an excellent guide, taking the time to explain what we were seeing and ensuring everyone knew the timing at each stop.

Best tour guide we had in either Japan or Korea. Great personality, excellent vehicle, perfect English and a really knowledgeable and personable person. Absolutely outstanding. We had a great lunch with her at the fish market. Very inexpensive for the quality of the guidance. Superb tour. Can't wait to go back!

We had a great tour with Helena. We did not have any idea what we should see in Busan. She had an extensive list of possibilities and gave us a wonderful day. We particularly enjoyed the Ha Nok coffee shop, a traditional beautiful cafe. She also took us to the United Nations National Cemetery, a powerful and moving place to visit the day before Korea's Memorial Day. We also made more traditional stops such as Yonggungsa Temple. Her car was new, spacious and extremely comfortable.

We booked the full day Busan tour with Helena. Our tour was during Chuseok holiday so many places were closed. However Helena was still able to show us the sights of Busan and we had the advantage of no traffic jams! She is a great guide and knows Busan very well. We definitely saw the best of Busan and her bubbly personality and interesting conversation made for a very enjoyable day. We highly recommend Helena who is fluent in English, Spanish and of course Korean.
