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
There are only two cities in the world with 1, 000 years of history. One is Rome and the other is Gyeongju. Gyeongju is called "the museum without a roof". As the name implies, this city has many kinds of old relics like a traditional Buddhist temple, a Stone cave temple that is the only manmade stone temple in the world, amongst other wonders. Most of all, there are big tombs that are believed to be royals' from 3~5 C. You can have an interesting experience going to the ancient tomb inside. Besides these, there is Gyochon village (Korean traditional village), Anapji pond (Palace garden), Cheomsungdae (Alchaological observatory tower), and Woljunggyo bridge. This city is an hour and a half away from Busan. Let's explore this oldest city with me.

Our guide Hyo Jin was a very nice person and she showed us the main sites in Gyeongju. We spent a nice day in this area. Thank you Hyo Jin for this great tour.

“Carey” ( Hyo Jin) is by far one of the best guides we’ve had on our recent trip of Japan and the one port in Korea. She was super friendly and clear and concise on historical facts during our tour. We all agreed she gets five thumbs up from our group.

Fantastic, knowledgeable, and accommodating tour guide. One of the very best we’ve had. Her knowledge depth and her insights were exactly what we were looking for.

We truly enjoyed a day with Carrie for a full day tour from Bushan to Gyeongiu. She is personable, professional and a great historian/storyteller. A day with her is like touring with an old friend who proudly presenting her hometown to us. Other than all the sightseeing, Carrie also introduced us to a delicious authentic Korea lunch. If we are back to Bushan, we will definitely schedule another tour with her. Thank you so much, Carrie!
