Some notable sites and memorials include: Memorial Service Hall, Memorabilia Hall, two Turkish Monuments, Greek Monument, Australian Monument, British Common Wealth Monument and two ponds. The Memorial Service Hall and the Memorabilia Hall were constructed in 1964 and 1968 respectively. The citizens of Busan dedicated the Main Gate in 1966.

It would have been better if our guide could explain more about the places we visited. He was a good driver but not a good "story teller"

Fantastic tour with Naomi and Mr. Kim our driver. Visited a beautiful Buddha temple, toured a busy fish market and shopping area, had a traditional Korean lunch sampling many delicious Korean dishes, did a Sky walk along the coast and the ended the day in the Gamcheon area. Naomi is a very knowledgeable and patient tour guide, with excellent English language skills. Our day with Naomi touring the beautiful city of Busan was exceptional.

Tour Guide Jenny is wonderful in sharing her knowledge and passion of Korea and its history. Sometimes it is difficult to understand with her accent, but she explains well. Unfortunately the tour was late as we waited around 1 hour and 15 minutes for the last family to join.

Great guide. Jess’s English was very good and she was so attentive to everyone’s needs. Busan is a beautiful city. We had an amazing Korean BBQ lunch and could never have found the restaurant on our own.

I did not enjoy this tour. Our tour guide Jenny, who was pretty good with what she had to work with. The actually tour is boring for most of the day. Our group waited over an hour for 3 people to join us. The late group shortened our touring time? We only spent 15-30minutes at each sight. Lunch was only pork, so that was also a limited selection.

We loved Busan! We give much credit to our lively, kind guide Jay. She guided us to a set of experiences that we could never have done on our own. We feel we have seen the best of Busan - its grand size, its awesome beauty, and its unique character. We highly recommend this tour!

Mina was a terrific guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with her while our ship was in port in Busan, Korea. She was very enthusiastic and knowledge as she shared the highlights of Busan with us. She was organized, on time, flexible, and considerate. To be sure we had the best possible tour and loved the Korean Barbecue!

Big shout out to our tour guide, Jay. She expertly and efficiently guided us through the city, showing off everything from spectacular art to great viewpoints to the city’s vast markets, and took us to a fantastic Korean Bulgogi restaurant for lunch. Her English is excellent, and she has broad knowledge of Busan’s history and culture. We were returned to our ship well before last boarding.
