It was so nice to be guided around the sprawling markets by a local expert, and we learned so much about Korean food in general and also about local Busan specialties. All of the food we tried was great, and the dessert, Hotteok, we had on the tour was especially delicious (and I don't normally have much of a sweet tooth!). Would definitely recommend!”

Busan night lights and food tour with a shared luxury yacht, Bupyeong Kkangtong Market bites, and Cheonmasan views.
“Over priced. Extra charge of 20,000 won (£10) per person for shared boat trip that just went to centre of harbour and back. We paid for our food at the grubby night food market. The observatory is just a small lay-by with nothing much to see. We were staying in Haeundae Beach so a lot of driving across the city. Not recommended.”
