My daughter and I had an absolute blast exploring Busan with our tour guide, 정봉기. He was punctual, very funny and friendly, knowledgeable (I must have asked him a million questions and he answered all of them!! I should add patient to this list!!), and he spoke great English so there was never any problems communicating. We went from one end of Busan to the other and saw a lot of the major attractions: Busan Tower, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Haeundae Beach, really too many places to list. My two favorite places ended up being Taejongdae Cliffs (so many stairs but totally worth it for the view) and the Gamcheon Culture Village which was filled with neat shops, charming art murals around nearly every corner, statues, and colorful buildings. I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to go back. When I do, I am going to ask for the same tour guide because he was fantastic!

Very interesting and thought-provoking. It must be exhausting for North Korea to keep up this ruse for almost 70 years. Although Covid 19 has put a damper on the DMZ tours, our guide made the best of it. She was well prepared with tickets, directions, and instructions.
