Aulia was amazing!!!!! We had a large party of 9 with an age range from 7 to 70+ (plus 2 wheelchairs). She modified the tour to avoid stairs and to meet the culinary tastes of a finicky American 7-year-old. Since we had more time in Busan, she even added stops to our tour! She really made us feel like we were locals like her. Bottom line, if you are a large party or small, able-bodied or not, Aulia will make sure that you have an amazing time in Busan. Pick her and you won't regret it.So accommodating, so flexible!

We spent a fabulous day seeing the highlights of Busan with Dama! Her easy going, thoughtful personality made it extra special. She started our tour by bringing us some of her favorite Korean snacks and treats. We toured so many nice places: Gwangalli Beach where she took us to Cafe Busano which had excellent coffee, colorful, historic Gamcheon Village, the Skywalk over the ocean, Haedong Younggungsa Temple, Nampo area with its many markets and food stalls, and the Jagalchi fish market. It was so nice (and efficient) to spend the time with Dama. We highly recommend it! Special Day with Dama

If you want to have a new friend in Busan, take your tour with Aulia. Her explanations were clear and extensice enough to learn about food culture in Busan. Nevertheless, Aulia’s tour experience doesn’t end there as she will give you tips and plans to do the rest of your stay in Korea. Also, another really good bonus was that she fully adapts the tour to your needs, type of diet or preferences. Lastly, we cannot forget to mention her kindness, her passion and her cheerful mood. Totally recommended!Not just a tour guide, but also a friend

Partly we got what we wanted. Korean food we would not find ourselves. In places we would not visit ourselves. But we also hoped we could hear and ask a lot about the Korean culture. And we got that not as much as we wanted. Note: this was our second time in Busan and South Korea, so we know already a bit Jeffrey can tell you a lot about the history and can give you a lot of travel tips. We used several of those.

Daiyoung was a good tour guide and took us around the fish market and night food market. We were able to try all the different foods and good start to Korean foods/market. Daiyoung would ask what we wanted to eat/try which was respectful, but we had no idea about Korean food and wished we were just given the foods to try. We had a good night with Daiyoung, however for the price of the food tour, we were unsure if we had value for money as we selected what we wanted as oppose to being given. Nonetheless, highly recommend Daiyoung as a tour guide, he was so friendly, informative and thank you from Australia.

Our first day in Busan was special thanks to a wonderful walk with Daiyoung. From the start it felt like reconnecting with an old friend, he took us to a local fish cake shop, a hidden gem we wouldn’t have found on our own, then we wandered through narrow streets to the night market discovering local traditions and meeting the people making great foods. Daiyoung’s warmth and knowledge made us feel right at home, and his passion for his city shone through with every story he shared. We ended our walk by going through a vibrant shopping district to Busan Tower, enjoying the view from the top, a few suggestions of where else to go from Daiyoung, and collected a few souvenirs. It was a fantastic experience filled with local culture, great food and a lot of heart. We highly recommend a walk with Daiyoung when visiting Busan. Great walk through Busan with Daiyoung

Busan in the summer is not for the faint hearted. Hot with extreme humidity and the relentless sun, the allure of the air conditioned interior can be all consuming. However, Daiyoung was cognizant with our discomfort and showed us much of the seafood market remaining mindful of our sensitivity to over 90 degree fahrenheit weather and 85 % humidity. We had a great time with Daiyoung who speaks very good english. Learned a lot about the seafood market, the neighborhood and the people. Hot, but fun and informative!

We stopped in Busan for the day as part of cruise and spent the day with Daiyoung. He was an amazing guide that took us to all 3 of the markets and a couple of great spots with no tourists for great views of Busan. We are foodies and wanted to try so many local specialties and he knew all the perfect places to take us. The markets are a maze and having Daiyoung with us to navigate/translate as we explored throughout the day was such a blessing. Super friendly, punctual, helpful, and overall a great guy. Many other cruisers booked through the cruise line and paid 3 to 4 times the price for the same tour so i would like to also add that being on a private tour with Daiyoung was not only superior but also a way better value for the money. We were just focused on food and shopping, but Daiyoung can customize for you. Our teenagers and and us parents had a fantastic memorable day with Daiyoung. Highly recommend, our teens said he was their fave guide of the trip!Fantastic Experience with Daiyoung!

Aulia was very patient and flexible, we had just arrived to Busan and were hungry so changed her plans a little but had a great experience as we stayed in the street food tour theme. We had a lot of laughs together, she made us try so many different specialities in both food and drinks, she took us all around, the fish market (which wasn't planned and is a must-see), the Busan tower, the night market...

My partner and I did this market tour with Aulia and loved it! We were able to try incredibly fresh and delicious fish and eel that we otherwise would not have been able to find on our own. Aulia was very friendly and inviting during the tour. She also showed us markets and areas around the fish market, pointing out different stalls with food that we were able to try and various products we could purchase. We recommend for a fun and informative food experience on your Busan trip! Great market tour!

It was definitely an interesting and nice walking tour in Busan. We ate at places that we otherwise would have not walked in and Aulia explained all the details and local specialities. If you are unsure of going by yourself to the fishmarket - definitely recommend! Just be prepared to basically "choose" the place by yourself, as it is not a set tour but there is high variety of places to choose from (which can be a bit overwhelming). Interesting Tour to the Fish Market Area

We recently joined Jeffrey’s tour in Busan, and I personally really enjoyed it—especially the history part, the visit to the fish market, and the stop at the Moon Village. Jeffrey is knowledgeable, friendly, and made the walk feel more like catching up with a local friend than a formal tour. I appreciated the discussions and the experience sharing over coffee. It’s not your typical tour with set scripts or big groups, which worked well for me and my husband. It was a pleasant way to see the city through a local’s eyes. Your friendly face in a big city :)

Dama was an exceptional tour guide and made our one day in Busan truly unforgettable. With limited time, she managed to show us all the key highlights while seamlessly adapting the tour to fit our personal interests. She greeted us with a thoughtful gift—a bag of her favorite Japanese treats—which was such a sweet and personal touch. We started the day at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, arriving early enough to enjoy the serene beauty before the crowds rolled in. Next, we explored the colorful charm of Gamcheon Culture Village—an absolute must-see in Busan. One of the most memorable moments was the traditional tea ceremony, which we highly recommend including in your tour. In the afternoon, we headed to the lively Nampo District for an authentic street food experience, visited the fish market and night market, and wrapped up with a stop at HBAF for some iconic honey butter almonds—Dama’s insider tip that we’re so glad we didn’t miss! Dama was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also warm, graceful, and genuinely delightful to spend the day with. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized, enriching, and enjoyable tour of Busan.An unforgettable day in Busan!

I’ll let you in on a secret - one of the ‘hidden’ gems is Dam; she is a sparkling tour guide! She met us at the port, got us in to the city, showed us the fish market, had some lunch with us, and took my sister-in -law & me to Olive Young, which someone on our ship had told us about. She was kind, patient, and did everything she could to make us get a glimpse of what Busan had to offer.Best Busan Gems

I went on my tour with Daiyoung right after I arrived in Busan. We went to some of the typical tourist places like Jagalchi Market and Yongdusan Park (location of Busan Tower), but also some less known places that were just as, or even more beautiful. Even in the tourist places, Daiyoung was able to guide me to have the full local experience by trying the traditional food, drinks, and activities. Daiyoung is a very friendly guide who is 100% a Busan local. I’m thankful he took the time to introduce his hometown to me as if I was a friend or family memberGreat introduction to a beautiful city

My wife and I engaged Dama on a full day customisation tour on what we wanted to see. Dama planned it well, a friendly and thoughtful guide. The trip was relaxing as we travel between points on cab and only walk at designated place of interest to save time. Had initially wanted to spend 3-4 days in Busan but with Dama full day tour. We pretty much experienced and see all of Busan. That leave us more time to visit other city of Korea. Thank you Dama. One day see and experience it all

We had an awesome experience with Aulia! shortly after we met we walked along Jagalchi fish market and were treated to a brief history and some facts about the surrounding area. as we walked Aulia helped to show us the different things available and to gather her own information on our likes and dislikes, from there we were off to a great hidden gem for a Raw fish experience. Aulia diligently explained each step of the local customs for consuming the amazing spread they brought out to us and shared in our excitement trying each dish, all the while we were getting to know each other better and becoming fast friends. After eating to our heart’s content we set off towards the night market as Aulia pointed out some great spots, and some of her favourite dishes, showing us a few behind the scenes peeks as we went. At the Night market she took care to find a dish we hadn't tried and didn't want to miss and went out of her way to make sure we had that experience. By the time our tour came to an end we were saying ‘see you soon’ to a friend rather than ‘goodbye’ to a guide. We highly recommend seeking out Aulia and going for an experience with her. Awesome seafood experience
