About the operator
- Seasondtraveller00Rather disappointingI found the experience disappointing, for various reasons. First, it was not the best season, the foliage was still green. Second, the bus took forever to collect everyone, to get there, and back, and was uncomfortable and poorly equipped (no wifi in particular). Third, it was horribly crowded in Nami Island, which is incredibly touristy. Fourth, the guide's explanations were mediocre and everything repeated in Chinese - it would be better to have separate English and Chinese language tours. I should have stayed in Seoul, where there are many nicer things to see a few metro stations away.
- 466andreeas00The best experience with the handsome guide (David)We had a pleasant experience that has begun with the Garden of the Morning Calm, very beautiful garden, David explained everything before we started to explore the garden. Afterwards we visited the Nami Island, where we have seen many squirrels and bunny's, pleasant experience and beautiful scenery. At the end we had the rail bike, a very funny ride. David was a excellent guide, he explained everything well and made funny jokes. The best day and tour!
- Y9879HDwilliamc00Beautiful tour, friendly guide and great destinationsAbsolutely beautiful destinations, some fantastic views and had plenty of time at each stop. Our guide, Hakim was very friendly, accommodating and generally made the trip very enjoyable with great suggestions.
- Jordon B00Highly recommendThe best sights in South Korea, probably the world. Julian is a good guide and waited around for some people in our group who were late to return.
- 437juditl00Great day in GyeongjuThe day trip covered the major sights in Gyeongju. There was a good balance between group activity and free time which allowed us to go to see more things beyond the guided tour. Our guide Jiwon was very enthutiasctic , helpful and friendly ,gave interesting details and facts. And not the least she ensured that everyone in our group was back always on time and we did not have to wait for each other.
- L2297CMloisb00Private tour & we did Zipline to Name IslandWe booked through Klook so not sure it was conducted by Kstorytour. We had a private driver who organised all tickets for us & booked us onto the Zipline while we were doing the Rail Bike. Mr Shin was excellent gave us lots of time to enjoy Nami Island & Morning Calm Garden.
- 884tatianat00A must when visiting Busan - highly recommend!This tour was one of the highlights of our trip across South Korea. We got lucky that the other guests slated for our tour cancelled, so our incredible tour guide Tommy was super flexible with the itinerary and customizing it to what we wanted to see most. We started off Haedong Yonggungsa Temple which was so magical, right on the water. Then we headed off to Songdo beach to see the Skywalk and find a lunch spot. Unfortunately due to the rain the Skywalk was closed but Tommy guided us on a walk along the the boardwalk giving us more history on Busan - you can really tell how proud he is of his city. We mentioned to Tommy we were looking forward to some seafood so he found us a wonderful spot on the water where we indulged in some fresh sashimi platters followed by some grilled shell fish - platter was a mix of clams, oysters, muscles, etc. We then headed out to Gamcheon Culture Village which left us in awe - an incredible structure to see. After Tommy guided us through the village & it's history, we had about an hour to roam through the streets, buy souvenirs and pop into any of the local spots for a quick bite. This was our favorite tour by far, and Tommy made sure we had a memorable experience - highly recommend!!
- 276carlinc00Great way to see the nature that Korea has to offerI had a very enjoyable day. We went to a large garden that had a variety of different smaller gardens of different styles and themes. The gardens had flowers and bonsi trees, ponds, rivers, ferns, a wide array of different beautiful plant species. It's apparently quite good to visit in Autumn. The park was based inside a valley of a forest. There were plenty of benches to sit and take in the beautiful scenery. Then we visited the island. The island was nice. There were a number of locations from popular. A collection of small museums, cafes and restaurants. The island was clean with plenty of plants organised around the place. Squirrels, peacocks and ostriches. It's a small island that takes about 30 mins to walk across. To get to the island you can take the ferry, a fast boat ride, or zip line. Finally, we visited to rail park. We got on pedal powered rail cars with seats of two and four. You can pay more (10k won) to go on a car of two. But, you need to book ahead. We took the rail car over 8km of track, around the mountains, through tunnels, past farms. It was a great way to experience the nature side that Korea has to offer. I was contacted the night before my Sheri providing me all the instructions on how to get to the location. I was also contacted on the island the times of when we had to leave. There was good communication. Could even just send through the itinerary or links. The bus that we took had air-conditioning. I definitely wouldn't have visited these places by myself, it would've been a hassle. I think it would've taken much longer and possibIy cost more. I am happy that I made the purchase to go on this trip. It was a good experience. I recommend it to you!
- Trek1166840280500Busan city tour 2023Tomy was a great tour guide. Would highly recommend going on this tour. Also will take great pictures for you!
- 126hamzahb00Awesome!!!Our guide Tomy was very professional. Highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Busan. All the instructions for the tour were also very clear.
- maxrJ6980ET00Amazing Day Trip!Trip was amazing, Mia was a wonderful host! The journey was a beautiful experience that will be hard to forget :)
- Culture4293531780400Unique Experience That Was Handled ProfessionallyThe trip was unique, to say the least, but I was happy with how the agency handled adversity. We got into an accident with another tour bus and a car on the way to Garden of Morning Calm. However, it was professionally handled by our guide April. Even though we were delayed for about an your because we had to wait for the replacement bus along the highway, April was checking in on us often, ensuring everyone is alright, and sharing more information about Korea to pass time. We were given free drinks as compensation. The locations itself were great to visit, especially the rail bike park. It was around a 6km pedal but it honestly didn't feel like 6km because of the amazing scenery we passed by. Overall, the tour doesn't seem rushed despite our accident in the morning. April was also very friendly and helpful.
- afafcharlottmariec00Bad guidesThe two guides were disoriented, bad organise. Lunch time was distracted. Stops war cancelled .. tow Guides that couldn’t do there Job properly. Temple was nice with zero history telling from the guides , actually they disappeared until we get to the bus . The rest of the tour was just a mess .
- yutaro458500Great tour by an entertaining guideTony proved to be an exceptional and amiable guide throughout our entire experience. His warm hospitality was matched only by his delightful sense of humor, which truly elevated the tour and made it an entertaining escapade. Not only did we get the chance to explore the designated locations on the tour, but Tony also went above and beyond by taking us to an additional hidden gem—the enchanting 5-6 islands—that wasn't originally part of the itinerary. This gesture showcased his dedication to ensuring we had an unforgettable journey. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Tony to anyone seeking an extraordinary and personalized tour guide who knows how to create memorable moments.
- AnnikaHor00Beautiful DayEspecially the time in the national park was very nice. We had the choice to go hiking or to take the cable car up the mountain and afterwards we could have a relaxed lunch.

Departure point - 5/5
I was a bit lost until I called. Very friendly to the person I was talking on the phone. Just know, someone will be there with a Ktourstory flag.
Bus - 4/5
The bus wasn’t really high class, although, it was very clean. The seatbelt where I was sitting wasn’t working properly. I would have to push the button really hard and pull the seat belt hard as well. Bus driver was on point on getting to the places even though there was traffic. 10/10 for the bus driver.
Petite France 5/5
Nice place, especially for photos.
Nami Island 5/5
Not very crowed when I went. This is during the month of Early January. Scenery is very good.
Garden of morning calm - 5/5
Very cold. Beautiful lights!
Above all, I would say this day trip was very Satisfying.

Jade was very helpful, pretty, friendly and punctual. But one day go 3 places will be a bit rush so still need to depend of the team size,if too many ppl will recommend to go 2 places. Lucky we only have 20 ppl in a group and so it's was a wonderful experience.

Had a great time on this tour, met people. Our guide (Marco) was absolutely outstanding, he gave us great information (especially for dakgalbi restaurants). The three places visited were absolutely outstanding, the surprise favourite was The garden of morning calm. Would recommend this trip to anyone, so much easier than trying to get to these places on your own

Think of this as a glorified shuttle bus between sights. The tour guide provided a few minutes of guidance for each location but once off the bus you’re on your own. We went during May/June and the inside of the bus was warmer than outside, and at one point we were all sweating! It made the ride miserable. If you go during the warmer weather, find a bus that has “real” air conditioning.

Our tour guide, Mira, was early in the meeting place so we didn't have to worry about finding the bus. She is really kind, helpful, and cheerful. She knows the places well. She can speak English and Chinese so communication was easy. The bus arrived on time and the driver was careful in driving.
Petite France, Nami Island, and Garden of Morning Calm are such wonderful places. I really liked the vintage displays in Petite France. Nami Island is full of amazing scenery and animals. The light displays in Garden of Morning Calm were amazing. Will definitely try to go back during the Spring season.

This tour was such a fun day!
I was bus sick on the way there, which is normal. Bita was so helpful and supportive- providing me with a bag, moving me closer to the front of the bus and being so kind throughout the trip. I am so appreciative of her kindness.
Despite the rough start, I had a fabulous day. The zip line was a lot of fun, I couldn’t stop smiling whilst walking on the island, and the views were stunning.
Guaranteed to fill your camera roll with happy memories and amazing views.
I would definitely recommend :))

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip with ktourstory today. The tour was well timed, well planned with sufficient time to appreciate the wonderful places we saw. In addition, the guide Mika did a phenomenal job as both a representative of your company, and of Korea! She was fun, informative and helpful. Such a great bundle of energy and I think she made the tour so much fun and shared with us many experiences of Korea. This also included how to bargain for cheaper price in korean! Thank you Mika for a wonderful time spent with us today. Daebak!

This was the most amazing day. Coming from tropical Qld Australia where it is green all year round to see the autumn foliage was a delight. So many photo opportunities that it is impossible to take a bad photo.The tour was in English and we had a tour guide who went out of his way to befriend us all so were soon all chatting and mixing together. The bus ride wasn’t too long and we had plenty of time to experience it all. Being a keen K drama fan I found Petite France particularly lovely. .So many spots I recognised, even my husband found it interesting. Nami Island and the ferry ride across was lovely. As I arranged our holiday with husband not knowing what we were doing until the day he absolutely loved this day out. My 15 year old daughter who is into Kpop, Kdrama art and photography also loved it and we all would go back to do this again. If you like Kdrama, gardens and beautiful scenery this is a must see tour for you.

The day tour was excellent, our tour guide Kelly was very professional and informative. She gives good recommendations regarding the photo spots and must sees in the places we visited throughout the day. The tour was very well organised and would definitely recommend to people visiting Seoul and wanted to do something out of the town for a day.

Highly recommend this trip! Our tour guide was Cherry and she was very helpful, enthusiastic, timely, and provided good recommendations on where to go at each destination, as all three locations are massive in size with a lot of grounds to cover them all.
It's a full day tour and luckily the weather was really good when I went. All locations provided good photo opportunities and sufficient time to explore the main areas. I find this tour to be a good introduction to the places a bit further away from Seoul and will help plan an individual trip to the destinations, particularly Nami Island, some other time in the future to stay and enjoy it longer and not be time-bound.
Definitely cannot miss this tour! You'll visit three beautiful places with lots and lots of photo opportunities.

If the date is available, sale goes through, and you don't receive a cancellation notice, you should be okay.
Like can we ride the zipline? Is there an additional cost if ever?

Agree with answer above. You have to have cash to give to the tour guide to pay for you. I think it is around 45000 KRW per person.
