I want to share websites that will be useful to those who plan to travel to Korea. This is my personal opinion and I hope it will help you travel to Korea more convenient.
Tour buses help you travel all over Korea efficiently and easily. I sometimes use a tour bus when I travel to other regions. Because there are some inconveniences to travel using public transportation except for a few cities such as Seoul, Busan, and Daegu. For example, bus to bus service intervals are long and sometimes there is no bus to get the destination and it takes a long time to get a destination. Although the way of tour bus operation from region to region is different, most of the price of a tour bus is reasonable and each tour bus course is good to travel that region. I would like to recommend to you if you come to Korea on a short schedule or if you find it complicated to use public transportation in Korea. There are two types of tour buses. One run by the government and the other run by the company. Most of the tour buses I introduce here are run by the government.
You can find the information in English on each website but you can check all the information on the below website at once:

1. Seoul (Korean: 서울) city tour bus
There are 4 courses in total and the price is different depending on the course. There is an audio guide in the tour bus and they offer an audio guide in 12 languages. You can use free Wi-Fi in the tour bus.
2. Gyeongju (Korean: 경주) city tour bus
There are 5 courses in total and the price is different depending on the course. There is no audio guide in the tour bus but the screen in the tour bus introduces the tourist attractions in 4 languages (English, Japanese, Chineses, and Korean). Reservation the tour bus ticket can be made online but there are some errors when the booking is processed on the website and there are some information that is not properly translated in English or written only in Korean so booking online is a little bit complicated. Therefore it may be better to call the service center (+82-54-743-6001) and ask for help with the booking process or purchase a tour bus ticket on site.
3. Busan (Korean:부산) city tour bus
There are 6 courses total and the price is different depending on the course. Tour bus ticket can be reserved online or by phone (+82-51-464-9898) or purchase a tour bus ticket on site.

4. Suncheon (Korean:순천) city tour bus
There are 4 courses in total and the price is different depending on the course. The website is only available in Korean but I recommend you to check the information (the operation time, non-service day, price and route of the tour bus) about the tour bus on the website using Google Chrome translator. All tour bus courses depart from Suncheon train station and return to Suncheon train station so it is convenient to choose accommodation near Suncheon train station. You can purchase a ticket for the tour bus directly from the driver when you board on the bus.
