Amazing food tour experience in the heart of Busan. Absolutely worth every penny! - This was an amazing food tour, if you want to see all the best kept secrets of Busan’s food scene. Our tour guide Chris was awesome! The entire night did not even feel like a tour, but more like just hanging out with a good friend, who knew all the great spots. If you book this tour, you will absolutely love it!

Great Night and Great Experience! - What a great night! We had the best time with Chris — he was both extremely knowledgeable about Korean history, about the local area and about Korean food! As we walked throughout the area stopping at various locations, he popped us into several shoju tent “restaurants” and introduced us to foods that we had never had before (and probably wouldn’t have tried on our own) — all super yummy. He also took us to spots that we never would have found on our own and those places were absolutely the highlight of the evening. It was super fun to see Chris (a Caucasian guy) speaking Korean with all of the restaurant owners and to watch them interact with him. Altogether, this was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend it.

Memorable Busan food tour with Chris! - Chris was a great tour guide. He grew up in the US but has lived in Busan for the past 20 years so he knows the city and the locals very well. Since we had already been to the fish market he adjusted our plans so we visited a wonderful off-the-beaten-track restaurant with only 4 tables and only served seared grilled Mackerel which was wonderful. Then we visited several tent districts and experienced the local “Aunties” cooking up an amazing variety of dishes for us along with plenty of Soju and beer. Because our last planned stop was extremely crowded due to the holiday Chris again adjusted plans and we ended the evening at a bar for a final round of Soju and beer. Overall Chris was an amazing host and provided us with a memorable evening in Busan that we will always remember.

Excellent food/drink tour in Busan!! - This is a great way to experience Busan through food and drink. Our guide took us to places we never would have found or tried on our own and getting to socialize with the locals in the Soju tents was so much fun! Come hungry and thirsty (and drink lots of water) because your glasses will NOT go empty. Highly recommend this tour as it was one of the highlights of our trip. Note: May not be suitable for young children.

Amazing experience! - This was a great tour! Well worth the money. My guide, Chris, was super informative as we walked through the market, BIFF square and Nampo-gu, giving me interesting culture and history tidbits. All the food was delicious (especially the grilled fish!) and Chris was accommodating about menu preferences and any food likes and dislikes. I really enjoyed going to the pochas (tents) and making friends with other patrons. It made for a great night! I would recommend this to anyone visiting Busan!
