"I'd highly recommend connecting with Lia. She made our time in Busan very special. She was kind and us around the Jagalchi Market for food and drinks. It was like hanging out with an old friend. Book this tour"

"Lia met us outside of the Jalachi Seafood Market and we were off Foodie Touring. Many of the vendors had aerated holding tanks chocked full of fresh Live Seafood. Her We saw fresh live Snow Crab, Lobsters, Red Snapper, Grouper, Sole, Flounder, Other Fish, Abalone, Conchs, Green Lipped Mussels, Scallops, Other Shellfish, Sea Cucumbers, Sea Squirt and a host of other delicacies. We settled on having Grilled Flounder and Lia led us to the Vendor who was “Best” in this category. They weighed it and came out to 1.5 Kg - a mighty big Dude. Fifteen minutes later the Grilled Flounder was served to us & Lia skillfully deboned that prize fish. Great Tasting Fish !!! Next she took us to a Dancing Shrimp Vendor - usually they are eaten raw, but we got ours steam / was Great ! Then she took us to a Vendor for Octopus, specifically small ones. Presto, two we picked, cleaned, cut up and served in a bowl. Problem was that the Tentacles were still tmoving all around. (Koreans like them raw / but not us.) We got them steamed and very, very tasty. All in All, it was an amazing Seafood Foodie Tour with Lia. She is wonderfully bilingual, knowledgeable and personable. You’ll Love her ! Don’t miss this Tour. Enjoy ………"

"Lia was amazing, super helpful and knowledgable about the area. She took us to some incredible spots around Jagalchi Market and the street food near by. Definitely worth doing if travelling to Busan! Thanks so much Lia! "

"Lia was a fabulous tour guide! She is very knowledgeable about the fish market and surrounding market area! We had a wonderful time!"

"great option as a solo traveler. my tour with aulia felt like spending an evening with a friend. over our shared meal at jagalachi, we discussed life in busan, the general food culture and recommendations for the rest of my time there. we strolled the nearby nightmarket afterwards as well. aulia is very friendly, knowledgable and professional. we covered so much in a short time and had fun. i would definitely recommend her as a guide. "

"Aulia was the most amazing host! We had such a fantastic time exploring the vibrant markets, tasting delicious local food, and meeting the sweetest vendors. Aulia shared so many fascinating stories and insights about the city and its people—it truly made the experience unforgettable. We absolutely loved every moment and couldn’t recommend this experience more!"

"My daughter and I were very happy with the trip and the time with Aulia, she managed to adapt the trip so that my 8 year old daughter got a lot of experiences and was included. we recommend Aulia, and would love to book more of her tours!"

"Aulia knows Busan well, speaks excellent English, and fills her tours with knowledge and humor"

"Touring with Lia was like hanging out with a friend! We enjoyed a magnificent fresh sea bream lunch. She took us to all of the local marketplaces and food stalls, explaining the history of the area. Since she was our interpreter with the locals, we felt welcomed and I believe they felt more at ease as well. We enjoyed supporting local mom and pop businesses. Thank you, Lia, for sharing your knowledge and conversation. We had a great time!"

"Our Jagalchi Market tour ended up being one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip thanks to our incredible guide. Due to an issue with our alarms, our group unfortunately arrived late but she responded with such kindness and grace. Instead of canceling, she welcomed us warmly and had even spoken with the vendors so they would stay open later for us. From the moment we met her, she was engaging, knowledgeable and full of energy. She made the entire experience fun, interactive and unforgettable. Her patience and genuine care for making sure we had a great time truly went above and beyond anything we expected. She was the absolute highlight of our trip and I would book a tour with her again without hesitation. If you’re considering this tour, do not think twice, she is exceptional."
