Discover the Hidden Gems of Busan: Texas Street, China Town & Dakbatgol Mural Village  in Busan - 9d40f2b9cae04e8ffdaf79032d4712d6

Texas Street and China Town:

Begin your journey at the vibrant Busan China Town, a bustling area rich with culture and history. Wander through the lively streets filled with authentic Chinese cuisine, traditional shops, and unique cultural experiences. As you walk, you'll transition seamlessly into Texas Street, an area right across from Busan Station. Texas Street offers a fascinating blend of international influences and local charm, making it a perfect spot to explore the fusion of cultures in Busan.

168 Stairs:

Next, conquer the famous 168 Stairs, a testament to Busan's hilly landscape. Historically, three dwellings stood at this site, though today, only one remains. Whether you choose to ride the adorable black and red cable car to the top or enjoy a leisurely walk with rest stops offering stunning views, the journey up the 168 Stairs is a delightful experience. Capture the panoramic scenes of Busan and take a moment to appreciate the city's unique topography.

Dakbatgol Mural Village:

Conclude your tour with a visit to the enchanting Dakbatgol Mural Village. This colorful neighborhood features an array of beautifully painted houses, each showcasing different themes. The wide alleys and organized thematic stairs make for an artistic and immersive walk. Don’t miss the highlight of the village—the free tiny cable car that shuttles visitors to the top and bottom of the area. This whimsical ride offers a perfect vantage point to admire the village’s vibrant murals and artistic charm.

Join us for a day of exploration and cultural immersion as we uncover the hidden treasures of Busan. From the dynamic mix of China Town and Texas Street to the picturesque climb up the 168 Stairs and the artistic allure of Dakbatgol Mural Village, this tour promises unforgettable memories and stunning sights.

After an evening street food (and more) tour, we had a full day tour the next day with Aulia to discover Haeundae Beach and the coast, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Dakbatgol Mural Village and Gamcheon Culture Village. It was great spending 2 days with Aulia, we got to know each other better, she's a happy soul, full of energy, very open and, again, very flexible. I definitely recommend touring a new city with a local, you will see and hear more about culture and traditions and won't get caught in tourist traps...

We spent a Great Morning with Aulia in town and Bad a Lot of fun. Aulia is a very friendly Person with a good sense of Humor. She showed us around and explained everything in very good English. We especially loved the Market and the Fish market, and we highly appriciated, that Aulia teached us how to eat what we had ordered on the fishmarket! Expensive, but a great experience!Great time in Busan

We had a great evening with Aulia. She speaks very good english and is an enthusiastic guide. She showed us around the night market and explained all the streetfood. The main fish market is closed on Tuesdays, but we had a delicious meal of raw fish and fried eel at a lively smaller market close by. Great experience with Aulia

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Busan, thanks to Aulia. She was incredibly responsive to my requests for adjustments in dates, making the trip smooth and flexible. Her knowledge of local culture and history enriched the experience. She also went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety, especially during the more challenging mountain hikes and the yacht cruise. I truly appreciate her efforts. Keep it up, Aulia.Busan

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

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...

We did the 10 tastings of Busan with Aulia and she was fantastic. She has great English and is easy to understand. She knows the best places to get food (don't be afraid to try everything) and is full of knowledge about Busan. Choose Julia for any tour and you will not be disappointed. Fantastic Experience

Wir hatten ein private tour mit Aulia, welche sie auf unsere Wünschen durchgeführt hat. Es war einfach nur toll, wir konnten alles sehen was wir wollten und haben auch viele kleine sachen gelernt von ihr. Auch hat sie uns für unsere weiteren Tage in Busan viele Tipps gegeben. Aulia ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir können sie weiterempfehlen. Danke dir vielmals Aulia :-)Einfach nur perfekt
