We enjoyed a great tour with Andrew today. We rode on a small 12 person bus which helped us keep the timing and have a nice atmosphere. Andrew gave us very interesting background historical and cultural information about each of the visit sites, which made the tour really authentic. He guided us with very positive energy. Ga ja! (let's go!).

Don’t missed it if you have a Saturday night in Busan as the drone shows is only showing on Saturday night. From meeting point to the yacht and back was just easy.

It is very cost-effective to buy itineraries or tickets on KLOOK. The order process is also very fast. You can also get credit card rewards. I will buy it again next time.

Board the tour bus on the west side and head to the yacht harbor. There is a toilet break on the way. Change into slippers when boarding. Your luggage will be stored on board and you will move to a seat prepared at the end of the yacht. Many yachts will set off at the same time. Each yacht will launch fireworks offshore, lighting up the night sky. Staff will provide a photo service on board. Take a commemorative photo with the bridge in the background. The drone show will last 10 minutes. The theme of this day was baseball. Everything from the shuttle to the onboard service was perfect, and it was a satisfying evening. I recommend it.
