Busan, S. Korea HOHO bus

[Margarita Jane]

We have just returned from Diamond Princess transpacific. Our plan for Busan was to use the HOHO bus, which we did, but it was not what we were expecting. Most of the information was in Korean, although the stops were announced in English. The HOHO is really not a tour, but more transportation. We enjoyed our ride, but we were hoping for more dialogue. We have taken HOHO busses elsewhere, and found the information was in many languages. We ended up doing some shopping and visiting the fish market. Others have recommended a seafood restaurant in a building next to the fish market. We were headed that way and found a Korean barbeque restaurant in the same building (4th floor). It was a great adventure and a good meal. So while the HOHO bus did not work for us, we did have a great visit to Busan. Just a suggestion to have a plan B if you are planning to use the HOHO bus in Busan.

Thank you so much for posting this. I am busy researching my upcoming trip and had not realized this about the HOHO. I do have a site for a city tour which does have English: http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_4_10_2.jsp
