Hello! My name is Hyojin in Korean and Carrie in English. Call me any of them. I've been working as a tour guide for 10 years. I got lots of experiences from tours such as Cruise Passengers shore Excursions and private tours. I got a tour work by chance 10 years ago. I felt like I was a natural at that time. So I started to study tourism and tried to be a professional tour guide. I am sociable so I love to meet and talk with people at home and abroad. I love my job and I love to show you the beautiful places in Busan and other cities. I usually do a tour in Busan and Gyeongju. Busan, The city is 2nd largest city now but it used to be the temporary capital city during the Korean War. Now the city has everything, mountain, the ocean, the river, industry, history, lots of tourist sites, restaurants and fancy cafes. There are so many that I can't say it all. Gyeongju is the city that has the oldest history in Korea. Fortunately, the city, Gyeongju is not far from Busan. You can see many kinds of old legacy there. It's time to apply for my tour now. I am always looking forward to seeing you here in Busan. All you need to do is click and apply. We will be fun together. Let's enjoy it! See you soon. -English tour guide by Korea Tourism Organisation -Domestic tour guide by Korea Tourism Association -Tour conductor by Korea Association of Travel Agency -MICE Coordinator in Busan Tourism Organisation -Trained as lifeguard of Korean Red Cross.

Overview of your Busan tour

Busan is a wonderful city. There are lots of things to see around Busan. Busan's history is deeply involved with the Korean war that broke out in 1950. This city was the temporary capital of South Korea at that time, and a lot of war refugees built their shanty houses on the hill. Some villages in the west part of Busan still remain until now. There is a temple that is located near the ocean, it has a breathtaking view and you can see the Korean Buddhism features. And there is the largest department store in the world and the Busan Cinema Center which has the biggest LED roof with only one pillar in the world. They have been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. You can walk the Cinema Center and riverside park leisurely. There is the Gwangan bridge which is the longest one in Busan and 2nd longest one in South Korea. We can pass by the bridge enjoying some beautiful ocean scenery, Then we can get to the 3 kinds of market areas including Jagalchi fish market which is the largest one in South Korea.

Hyo Jin P. was fantastic. She made sure we saw what we requested and then some! Her knowledge of Busan was deep and broad. Her personality kept you interested and engaged. In addition, she knew the best places to take photos! We highly recommend her!

This was a fantastic tour! My girlfriend and I really enjoyed having Hyo Jin (aka Carrie) as our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and explained to us a lot of detailed history of Busan. She even spent time during the driving portion of the tour, pointing out interesting spots and giving us bits of information on each of them. Time flew by during our tour as we enjoyed every moment. By the end of the tour, after seeing multiple different points of interest, we felt like we made a new friend in Busan, and we definitely plan on requesting her as our tour guide again, the next time we visit. We highly recommend her to anyone interested in touring Busan, and as a plus, she has excellent English skills, so even if you don’t speak any Korean, you will not have any trouble communicating with her if English is your only language. Thank you, Hyo Jin!

Our group had a great time with Hyo Jin! Our tour group grew in size unexpectedly, but Hyo Jin was able to accommodate the changes. She met us at Busan Central (we did a day trip from Seoul), and off we went. Hyo Jin kept us entertained, and she was very knowledgeable about Busan's history and current events. Everyone in our group enjoyed the day that we spent with her. I highly recommend Hyo Jin if you plan to explore Busan.

Really great tour. The day was super packed with interesting cultural and modern sites. We were exhausted after our tour. We finished the day with great memories, photographs, and souvenirs. Highly recommended!
