"Aulia was a wonderful host, and my partner and I really enjoyed the few hours we spent with her. She is very knowledgeable about Busan, and was also totally willing to adapt her tour to suit our interests best! "
"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."
"Amina was so concerned we would experience it all and we sure did. From street food to buddhas birthday celebration to a local donut shop. We did it all and like there was no food left for tomorrow!!!! "
"I had a brilliant trip with Dama, she was friendly, informative, considerate, as I could not walk fast, due to a fall, her genuine concern was most welcome.
I cannot recommend Dama highly enough for anyone wanting to visit Busan. "
"Aulia is a wonderful guide, a kind, generous soul who felt like a local friend. Very much enjoyed the night.
She is a cultural experience on her own. Exceeded expectations! Introduced me to my first Karaoke experience! Saw a great view of Busan from high above. Highly recommend!"
"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 member"
"My family (2 adults, 1 teen) booked Dama to show us some highlights in Busan. We communicated about our wishes beforehand and Dama delivered! And she even helped us getting to our next stop after the tour with her. We absolutely recommend her."
