She goes by "Willow," and she was an absolutely delightful guide. This was our first time visiting South Korea and it was a relatively short stay as it was a "side trip" as part of our cruise around Japan. We only had one full day to see and learn as much as we could, and Willow helped us make the most of it. She picked us up at the cruise terminal with her own car, and took us all round Busan. Her English-speaking skill are excellent and together we were able to craft a custom-tour based on the things we were most interested in seeing. She was not only knowledgeable about all the places we went to, she also had a lot to say about the places we were passing along the way, and the South Korean culture in general. We highly recommend Willow! Willow is very knowledgeable about her city and Country Not a moment passed when we weren't engaged in

Willow did a great job showing us around Busan. She was very knowledgeable about Busan and each of the sites that we visited. She was able to navigate from one site to the next with no hesitation and she planned our trip so that we were not stuck in traffic or crowds, maximizing our site seeing. She treated us like family. Our family included my husband, our two boys (14 and 10), and myself. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Willow learning about South Korea and Busan.

Willow is an amazing tour guide. She has incredible knowledge of the city and the sights. We learned a lot from her. We really wanted to see the Seokbulsa Temple which was not on her suggested itinerary, and she was able to custom our tour to include the visit to the temple. We also went to the Gamcheon cultural village, Hadeong Yonggungsa temple and the Fish market. She found a great lunch place that both my husband, myself, and our 11 year old son enjoyed. At the end of our day, she gave us lucky charms. Thank you so much Willow for such a wonderful day.

We had a great time with Willow!! She is super friendly and knowledgeable of Busan history and hot spots. We had a group of 6 and felt comfortable in the van. Willow suggested a great tour and was flexible with what we wanted to see and do. We did an all day tour and it was totally worth it to see all the hit spots in Busan. Would highly recommend booking a tour with Willow! Her English is great and she was super accommodating. She even went above and beyond to suggest some restaurants for us to try near our Airbnb and helped arrange transportation to the train. Thank you Willow!
