What you'll see and do
Haedong Yonggungsa Temple
The main sanctuary of the temple was reconstructed in 1970 with careful attention paid to the colors that were traditionally used in such structures. On the right-hand side, inside a cave, is a uniquely designed Buddhist sanctum, while situated just in front of the main sanctuary is a three-story pagoda with four lions. The four lions symbolize joy, anger, sadness, and happiness. Other special sites at the temple are the 108 stairs and stone lanterns lining the rocky landscape. After going down the 108 steps, one will be delighted with the beauty of the temple. Midway down the 108 steps one can stop and enjoy the calming sounds of the waves, and view the majestic sunrise.

This was not a “tour” it...
This was not a “tour” it was basically a driver who spoke very little English. He dropped us off at different places and didn’t offer any advice, what direction to walk.. nothing except to text him when we were done. He was pleasant and a good driver but this shouldn’t be advertised as a tour.
Response from the operator: We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand that you expected more than transportation between attractions, including helpful information, sightseeing guidance, and recommendations from your driver. We will look into the situation with the driver involved and provide additional training to help ensure that our drivers deliver a better and more informative experience for our guests. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will use it to improve our service and ensure that our tour descriptions more accurately reflect the experience we provide. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we are sorry that we fell short of your expectations. Best regards,

Don’t be afraid to take a more local trip
We toured with Mr Oh. He did a great job of getting us where we wanted to go and add other stuff along the way as traffic was not bad. He wasn’t the best in English, but we did just fine by using a translation app. We were very pleased with how it went. Recommended.

It was a very good day...
It was a very well spent day and the driver, Mr Maa, was spectacular. A great way to get to know the city

Our driver was excellent...
Our driver was excellent even though we had to communicate via google translator. Mr. Hwang was very patient and accommodating. Unfortunately it was raining quite heavily on that day....
via Viator
Don’t understand Korean
Our tour guide was an excellent person. The only problem we had with the tour was he did not speak English so you could not ask him any questions about Busan. He took us to all our places, but it was extremely disappointing to not be able to ask him any questions. While driving in the car, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Other than that was an excellent tour, but we felt we missed out on a lot, not being able to talk to an English speaking tour guide about the area and the culture and other things.

Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Busan.
How much does Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $263 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Busan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Busan is not rushed.
Is Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Busan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Busan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Busan and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Busan Private City Tour with Taxi - Cruise Shore Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Busan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Busan?
+
On Outty we rank every Busan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Busan Highlights: Small Group, Hotel Pick-up & Sky Capsule, Busan Top Coastal Highlights with Gamcheon Village & Sky Capsule, Authentic Busan Full-Day City Highlights Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Busan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Busan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
