Walk Busan’s Jagalchi, BIFF, and Bupyeong markets with chef Heeyoung, tasting seafood, hotteok, fish cakes, and local specialties.
“Our chef/guide Heeyoung was a wonderful ambassador for Busan’s lively and delicious food scene. She enthusiastically led us through the streets and markets of Busan, and provided informative commentary to accompany each tasting. Busan’s ssiat hotteok (seed hotteok) and eomuk (fish cake) are justifiably famous. The portions are generous and you will not leave this your hungry. The tour ends at the fish market, where Heeyoung helped each guest select and order the freshest seafood. We enjoyed an amazing steamed king crab, steamed oysters, raw sliced yellow tail, crab fried rice, and seaweed soup. After helping us order, Heeyoung showed us how to make soju bombs, and all the ways…”
Cook Busan seafood with chef Heeyoung, learn Korean food customs, enjoy tea and rice wine, then shop Bupyeong Kkangtong Market.
“Heeyoung was delightful! We enjoyed hearing her wealth of knowledge about Korean cooking, history, and culture. We wish we'd done this at the start of our trip because the insight she gave us into Korean cuisine would have helped us appreciate our meals there more. The market tour afterward was also very fun.”
Review of Busan’s private night tour, with a yacht ride, Diamond Bridge views, Bupyeong market food, and Cheonmasan panorama.
“Over priced. Extra charge of 20,000 won (£10) per person for shared boat trip that just went to centre of harbour and back. We paid for our food at the grubby night food market. The observatory is just a small lay-by with nothing much to see. We were staying in Haeundae Beach so a lot of driving across the city. Not recommended.”
See Busan after dark with Hwangryeongsan views, Gwangalli Beach, Korean food stops, hotel pickup, and an optional night ferry.
“Thank you to our guide Jay for showing us the beautiful sunset and evening views of Busan. The skylines in Busan are beautiful lit up in the evening.”
Taste Busan seafood and street food at Jagalchi and Bupyeong markets with a local guide, drinks, Korean culture, and small-group fun.
“Had a wonderful experience on the tour. Will highly recommend it! Our guide was very friendly and gave us an insight into Korean culture”
Eat through Busan’s markets, fresh seafood stalls, and harborside soju tents on a small-group evening food crawl with drinks included.
“Amazing tour. Conor was a fantastic guide and made navigating the markets and Sonu tents a breeze. We saw and ate at places we would have never found on our own. We would highly recommend.”
