“When traveling to Busan I highly recommend Viator and Jake Lee. He picked up us from our cruise terminal (he was early) and from that point the half day tour could not have been any better. His vehicle was clean, his driving was safe and his narration was clear and educational. He also provided my wife and I with water, a map, and snacks. Jake took his time and he was very knowledgeable. Do not go to Busan without Jake!”

It was great having just a small group (only 2 other solo travelers). While a return visitor could self organize a similar route with taxis or public transportation, this was an excellent option for those of us with limited time & language skills, & I’d engage Steve without hesitation on a future visit!”
