      Lia was a great tour guide

      "Lia was a great host, she showed us all the best places in Busan. She even took us to two local food places to eat at where I tried moving octopus for the first time. It was so much fun learning about the city with her. "

      Great walking food tour

      "We loved this tour as we were able to try some Korean food that we otherwise probably would not have tried. Lia was a wonderful host who took us to hole on the wall places that we really enjoyed. Would highly recommend this tour!"

      A really nice personalized food tour

      "Having a diet both gluten and lactose free ( not allergy), I thought I won't be able to eat anything on the street food tour and i was totally wrong. I had delicious kimchi mung beans pancakes, gimbap, rice punch, while the others in our group enjoyed many other local delicacies. Lisa was a wonderfull guide and made sure i had as well my share of tastings in this tour. I really appreciate the effort taken to find places where i can eat as well. The whole experience was really good and i wholeheartedly recommend it. "

      Knowledgeable look into the local culture

      "Dama is a great guide, as a smart young woman making her life in Korea, she's got a unique window into the food and culture of Busan. We ate a lot of things, had no issues with logistics, had good conversation, and even came home with leftovers for later. "

      Fantastic local food guide!

      "Dama brings an inspiring and informative perspective to her tour. As an international graduate student she brings an “outsider/insider” knowledge to Busan, Korea and its food culture. We tried a ton of yummy things and had a good time. Dama customized our tour in a couple of ways to fit our schedule and tastes which was helpful. We’ve done a ton of food tours around the world and this was one of the best. I would highly recommend her!"

      Street Food, Skyline Views… A5⭐️ Afternoon

      "With A Guide Who Went Above and Beyond in Busan… Extra Kindness Included We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon exploring thanks to our fantastic tour guide, Aulia. From start to finish, everything was handled seamlessly and with such warmth and enthusiasm. Aulia took us to the street market at the former site of the Busan International Film Festival, (truly a sight to behold) where we enjoyed incredible local food and got a true taste of the city’s vibrant culture. It was the kind of experience you wouldn’t likely find on your own, and it was delicious. We then visited Busan Tower for beautiful views of the city and the harbor, and explored the colorful hillsides of Gamcheon Culture Village. Our guide shared helpful insights and stories along the way that really brought each place to life. Honestly, Aulia helped to make Busan an unexpected highlight of our trip. She was so thoughtful and helpful. She even went out of her way to help us send a package of gifts to our nieces in the United States, K-Pop fans who will be utterly delighted when it arrives! The extra kindness meant so much. At the end of the tour, Aulia made sure we were delivered right to our ship, making our departure completely stress-free. Everything was handled beautifully — organized, informative, and always with a smile. If you’re visiting Busan, we can’t recommend her highly enough!"
