Experienced smooth and fast booking by Klook. However, the luggage space on the KTX was extremely limited. Do take note to arrive early to get the luggage spaces.

Jiwon and Calvin were great tour guides! Jiwon was a funny and enthusiastic host who gave great recommendations. She even helped us plan our evening activities and the driver added an extra stop at the end of the day to drop us off at a night market. The activities were well-planned and a great way to see the main sights in Busan if you’re short on time.

It's a good deal if you plan ahead because it starts after your first visit. It's a good idea to buy one if you're visiting Busan for the first time. You can go around a lot in one day, from Gamcheong-dong, Chuma chogori → cable car → busanartemuseum → seaside train, BUSAN X the SKY in Haeundae, and Club D Oasis.
