"Nice to meet you"!! This is BK, who would be your tour guide in Korea one day. I studied tourism and have been a tour guide in Seoul for many years. I decided to come back to Busan which is my home province and run tours here in a lovely city, Busan. I love Busan because it has a unique atmosphere and culture. Surrounded by mountains and ocean, small houses cover almost half of the mountains but also have a beautiful coast line and many beaches. Tall bridges on the shore make it more romantic during the night. I am a kind of person who is thoughtful, outgoing and polite. I am personally interested in history, heritages and nature. So if you have the same interests as me, we can have a great time together!! My van can accommodate 10 guests maximum with free wi-fi service inside. Thank you for reading. Hope to see you soon! - Official tour guide license(English) by Korea Tourism Organization since 2010 - Korean history test (2nd level) by National institute of Korean history - Studied tourism in a college - Worked as a travel agent(In charge of African market) - Fully covered car insurance I don't have any restrictions on my tours.

Overview of your Busan tour

What can be a counterpart of Kyoto, Japan or Xian, China in Korea? Those are ancient capital cities in East Asia and we have Gyeongju, luckily just an hour away from Busan. Gyeongju (Geumseong, the old name) was the capital city of Silla kingdom from 57 B. C. to 935 A. D. We are going to see historic sites, royal tombs and buddist temples in one day. Get ready to see the highlights of this beautiful city! I have done this tour numerous times and I love history personally. I can explain you about the places you visit more detail. - Some photos are provided by Gyeongju city tourism department -

We had a great trip to Gyeongju with BK. He was on time to pick us up at the cruise ship terminal with good communication about where we could find him when we got off the ship. Transportation was very comfortable (we had 7 adults in our group) and BK's English was great, so we had an easy time communicating with him throughout the day. Gyeongju was beautiful and we were able to visit the Buddhist temple, the grotto, and tombs, and had some of our favorite food of the trip at a restaurant our guide recommended. We loved our excursion!

Oh what an amzing young man BK is. He picked me up from the train station and turned his car into a time machine that took me back through Koreas history. He didn't miss a beat, weaving historical points into regular conversation. This made my trip! I would more than recommend this tour w/ BK

We spent two days with Bk (Gyeongju and Busan) and had a great time. He is very knowledgeable and fun and was very accommodating with our family. We saw so many more things with him than we would have on our own. His English is excellent. I highly recommend him as a guide.

I'm so glad I booked this tour with BK! If you're in the Busan area, you must visit Gyeongju, an open air museum. BK was able to provide me with a lot of information, he made sure that we spent the required amount of time at each stop and he also included a few stops where I was able to try some local delicacies.

BK was a fantastic host and guide throughout the entire day. Our party of 4 was thoroughly pleased with the experience. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited, and also provided us with a unique and authentic restaurant experience for lunch. He was so kind and patient to ensure we got the most out of the entire day. We highly recommend him to all.
