蒲川文化村、チャガルチ市場おはなしツアー

This little mountain village is easy to get to on public transportation, and certainly feels like the type of activity best done as a self directed wandering to her than a guided tour. There are many informational, placards, and helpful and interesting shop owners to stop in to see. It’s a beautiful little village, but strongly recommend starting at the top and walking your way down otherwise you’ll be getting quite the leg workout! Probably the highlight of the walk was the Duf Coffee Shop— certainly not a place for everyone to experience in its entirety, but great coffee if you’re not up for some truly quirky, weirdness, and burning man level esoteric art if you are, with three word of feeding three friendly ducks at the end, if you make the journey through the carnival like madhouse beyond the coffee machine. The streets are winding, steep, and the houses are all painted wonderfully. I would certainly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

Our guide Suyang, was very knowledgeable about the community in Gamcheon. He brought us to all the places of interest in Gamcheon village and we really had a great time there. At the fish market, he was giving us all the historical background of the place. We really enjoyed the walking tour, even though it can be very tiring.

Very Good experience, the guide was very Good and tell us Everything about Busan It ís a Good way to see the city

We asked Busan if we could change the time on our tour, as it was raining and he accommodated us with no issues. We were lucky to have busan all to ourselves a that time. He gave us cute bags with treats in them. We began our adventures at the Jagalchi Fish market. There we saw so many different seafood species for the first time. Busan informed us of the many different kinds as well as their nutrients and history. While we were at the market, Busan was patient as I purchased a custom stamp made in front of us. It was very interesting. He was kind enough to take pictures of us at our request. Next we toured the Gamcheon culture village. He gave us a lot of history of the area. And then, we had time to shop around. Busan gave us two options for our next location so we chose the lookout point that shows a scenic view of Busan. At the top of the mountain, he treated us to a delicious cold drink. Perfect timing! There were clean washrooms to use as well. There were a lot of stairs to come down the mountain, so beware of this if you have mobility issues. He also looked after all of our transportation throughout the tour. It was a great day, despite the rain. Busan is kind, helpful, and very informative. Yeah, we would recommend this tour and felt it was money well spent. Thanks again, Busan!

After changing the day for the tour I was left wondering how he is a tour guide. He has a lot of information but talks endlessly and does not engage in conversation. Responding to questions is a weakness so I stopped asking. From a different tour the next day I learned more complete and accurate information about the history of the fish market and who they sell to. At one point he talked with great negative upon about my country.

We had a fantastic tour with Suyang! We had visited Gamcheon Culture Village the day before with another tour, but we only walked past souvenir shops and took photos. With Suyang, we actually learned about the history of Korea and the village itself. He explains everything in excellent English and makes it really interesting. We then visited the peaceful Songdo Beach, where he shared the legend of the fisherman and the Sea Dragon King’s daughter, and continued to Jagalchi Market, where he showed us Busan’s original harbor. Seeing all the different kinds of seafood was fascinating! He also gave us great lunch recommendations to end the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about Busan. Suyang is knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer any question you have!

We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this tour! Communication with the host was excellent from the start, and he was incredibly thoughtful throughout the day. I was traveling with my mom, and he made sure the pace was comfortable for us. During the heat wave, he even gave us a bag of snacks, a fan, and a hat, which was such a kind gesture. He was also very accommodating and gave us an alternate agenda to ensure we saw what we wanted and had a great time. He shared great cultural and historical context, balanced sightseeing with free time to explore, helped us take photos, and pointed out the best viewpoints. He also gave us fantastic local recommendations, including an amazing grilled mackerel restaurant that we loved. Overall, it was a fun, informative, and well-organized experience, and we'd definitely recommend it!

This was an excellent tour and exactly the type of tour I wanted. :) I got such a good insight about Gamcheon Village and its history, we explored a lot of the area and I also had time to take a quick peek into a shop or two. The views were amazing, I was happy that we came across the BTS murals, but also other art everywhere. I know I will return on a next trip and spend even more time exploring. After mutual agreement (I was the only tourist) we walked further down, paths I would never ever find again, and enjoyed something to drink at a local place. The views of Busan from there were amazing! (the original plan of the tour is the cable car, but I chose to see more of the village and the views, also since heights aren't exactly my forte :D). Later we visited the fish market which of course was interesting, too and gave me some meal inspiration. :D The goodies (tote bag and snacks) were a great touch, too. My guide's English was great, so communication was perfect. My handbag strap decided to come apart during the tour and he found a tailor shop I could visit the next day and get it fixed. And he also sent me some good ideas about further activities in both Busan and Seoul and all of this was super helpful, and there was a happy ending for my bag. :)

Suyang was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. He had great suggestions for other places to see and eat while in Busan and stayed with us in the fish market to help us buy fresh fish and instructed the staff on how to prepare it for our lunch. Would highly recommend!

This might be the best tour I've taken in Korea. Suyang was beyond knowledgeable and answered all of my many questions around Korean culture and history, even outside of Busan topics. I also think I was able to see spots in Busan that I would not have gotten to on other tours. Finally, Suyang has an amazing sense of humor and I really enjoyed having him as a guide!
