    wonderful journey

    The guide Shin and the younger boy are very nice. They were enthusiastic, explained in detail and helped take a lot of photos. The recommended restaurant was also very delicious. Gave us a very good travel experience. So, I will choose this travel agency next time I come

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your positive comment! We have been working hard to bring customers the best travel experience and your feedback is very much encouraging :) Please travel with us again when you visit Korea in the future - we'd love to meet you once more!

    Awesome

    I have a great day with David Kim and Chan. I took the tour on a weekday and learned that the place tends to be less crowded on weekdays. Though the tour did not include lunch, David and Chan provided recommendations. We took the recommended Soy Chicken and it was delicious. David and Chan were very attentive and made sure I was comfortable throughout the tour.

    Response from the operator: We are really happy to hear that you had a wonderful time during the day! If you love your experience and would like your family and friends to have as much fun as you did, please recommend our tours to everybody :) We also hope that you will revisit Korea again so that we can meet you once more!

    Happy all the way!

    Heavy rain in the early morning! But it didn't stop us to go!! Lucky that we have two great guides, Oscar & Jay. They are very nice and safe driving. We had great chats all the way on the van. The historical site is kept in good condition and the people are so nice!! We had chance to meet the residents. What's a great experience! We tried the famous "Andong Chicken"!! Not only fried chicken but also Andong chicken is good!! The moon bridge is beautiful with the shadow on water. The relax room locates in a secret garden!! 出發時釜山下大雨,心想既來了就繼續出行。慶幸兩位“小鮮肉”Oscar & Jay與我們兩位大嬸同行,他們真的很nice.全程安全驚駛。沿途説説笑笑,雨天的納悶也掃空了。而天公亦厚待我們,到達河回村已沒有下雨。這個歷史文化遺跡讓我們好像走進歷史,一探朝鮮人生活。當日遊人不多,更顯清靜悠閒。那兒亦嚐了“安東燉雞”,很是回味!跟着到月映橋,翠綠河山,橋形特别,倒影洛東河上,美不勝修。晚休亭真的很穩秘啊!

    Great guide but tiring

    It was a long day but it was great to see all of the sights. David was our guide and his English was great and he was very knowledgable. Worth trying.

    Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Busan.

    How much does Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $62 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 Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan?

    +

    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 Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan?

    +

    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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Daegu Seomun Market & Andong Hahoe Village UNESCO Tour from Busan 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.

    +

    Included: Andong Hahoe Village Admission Fee; English & Chinese-speaking Staff; and Round-trip Transportation. Not included: Meals; Traveler's Insurance; and Other Personal Expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
