Wonderful experience in Busan!
My family and I just completed the Busan City Tours from the Diamond Princess cruise and were truly impressed! The guide met us on time at the port, was very friendly, and spoke clear English. Gamcheon Hillside Village really looks like a living painting with all those colorful houses. My 8-year-old loved taking photos with the Little Prince statue. Highly recommend this company for any shore excursions!

My husband and I are on our retirement cruise and this was the best tour! At 68, we worried about too much walking but the tour was organized thoughtfully. Gamcheon Village has plenty of seating and stunning views. Yongdusan Park was peaceful and relaxing. Our guide was very attentive, making sure we were comfortable the whole time. Perfect way to explore Busan!
Michelle Chang –
Traveling alone from my cruise ship, I was a bit worried, but the guide and group were very friendly! I met other people on cruise and we had a lot of fun together. Gamcheon Village was like a colorful maze. Street food at the market was delicious, especially the fish cake. Safe, comfortable, and we got back to the ship on time.

This Busan city tour covers three major spots in 8 hours, which sounds relaxed, but traffic in Busan and moving between places meant limited time at each stop. Especially in Gamcheon Village, I wanted more time to wander the alleys. Still, this didn’t lessen the quality. Our guide was dedicated and what we saw was amazing. The market and park were impressive. Still worth every penny!

This was my first time in Korea and I wanted a real local experience and this tour exceeded my expectations! Gamcheon Village isn’t just beautiful, it’s full of fascinating stories. Guide Kim explained a lot about local life. At the traditional market, I learned how to bargain and tried many unique dishes. Thank you, Felix and Japan Shore Excursions team!

At first, I was hesitant to book because the website name is “Japan Shore Excursions” and I wondered if they could provide quality tours in Korea. But Sammy helped me a lot and answer all of my questions properly. And from the moment we arrived in Busan, the guide was welcoming, knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. Every detail was handled professionally. Our experience on this Busan city tour was outstanding. I’m very glad I chose this company!

We traveled with my parents, aged 75 and 78, and were worried about too much walking, but this tour was perfect! Guide Lee was very considerate and adjusted the pace for us. In Gamcheon Village, he led us through the most comfortable routes with plenty of places to rest. Bupyeong Market was a highlight, my mom loved the street food here. The bus was comfortable, with soft seats. Highly recommended for all ages!
David Chen –
Gamcheon Village is the perfect destination for those who love photography. Guide Kim knew exactly where the best angles were and helped me find a spot with the Little Prince statue and other hidder places in this village. Gukje Market, with hot, sweet hotteok and tasty fishcakes, was a fantastic culinary experience. The bus was clean and cool, and we got back to the ship right on time. I’ll definitely recommend this tour to friends!
Sarah Johnson –
The tour was wonderful but while visiting Gamcheon, there was a sudden heavy rain for about 20 minutes. Our guide Jenny had umbrellas ready and found us shelter. It delayed the schedule a little, but didn’t affect our overall experience. In fact, Gamcheon looked even more beautiful after the rain! Both Gukje Market and Yongdusan Park were fantastic. Highly recommend this Busan city tour.
