Local Buddy Tour

The Local Buddy Tour is a small-group private experience that lets you explore Busan together with a local resident.

Rather than a traditional sightseeing tour led by a professional guide, this service focuses on spending time with a Local Buddy who lives in Busan—walking, eating, and exploring everyday neighborhoods to experience the city’s atmosphere and culture in a natural, relaxed way.

Your Local Buddy can communicate in English, Japanese, or Chinese, making the experience comfortable and stress-free for international travelers.

This tour is not about lectures, historical explanations, or a tightly packed schedule.Instead, it’s about feeling Busan’s daily rhythm and local lifestyle, just as residents do.
