We had a great time on the 3-hour Jagalchi Market food tour. John was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who introduced us to a variety of local foods and shared interesting insights about Busan’s food culture. The tour was well paced and a fun way to experience the market. Highly recommended!

Due to our short stay in Busan, my partner and I booked this day tour to make the most of our time and see the main attractions without having to figure out public transport, especially as Busan’s sights are so spread out.
This was my second Klook tour, and I expected a driver simply taking us from place to place. I was so pleasantly surprised by how professionally organised this tour was!
Choi, our amazing guide, and our driver picked us up at Exit 5 of Haeundae Station. Choi shared so much interesting information and historical knowledge, and was an absolute pleasure to meet. Having such a knowledgeable guide made a huge difference to our experience.
I 100% recommend this tour! If you’re undecided like I was, don’t hesitate — book it! It’s great value for money, saves so much time and hassle, and is the perfect way to see Busan’s highlights in a short time.
Our favourite stops were Haedong Temple and Gamcheon Culture Village.
Grazie mille, Choi! ❤️ from Claudia & Chris 🇮🇹❤️

I was very satisfied with this Busan night view tour! Our guide, Mina, was very friendly and energetic. She introduced us to Busan's attractions and history along the way, and her explanations were never boring, creating a great atmosphere. The itinerary was also very smooth, and the transportation was convenient, so we didn't have to figure out routes ourselves, which was very helpful for first-time visitors to Busan.
My favorite part was seeing the night view from the yacht; Busan's night scenery from the sea was truly beautiful. The overall experience was even better than I expected. Mina also reminded everyone about safety precautions and meeting times, and she took great care of the group throughout the tour.
I give five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to the guide, the itinerary, the transportation, and the value for money. I highly recommend Mina and this tour for anyone visiting Busan for the first time!

We had, without a doubt, the best tour guide – Han! We highly recommend booking this tour with him.
At first, we were a little skeptical about whether the tour would feel too rushed since it included so many different places, but we couldn't have been more wrong. Everything was perfectly organized and paced, and we never felt stressed or rushed.
We were a small group with people from different nationalities, and we also brought our 4-year-old son along. Han handled everything incredibly well and had that little extra that made the whole experience even more special.
He was not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely amazing with our son, which meant so much to us as a family. He took the time to play with him during the tour and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. You can see one of those lovely moments in the photo!
We are extremely happy with this tour, and especially grateful to Han for making it such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

The tour was very well-organized and refreshing. I especially enjoyed visiting the Gamcheon Cultural Center at night. It was a great way to experience the place without the usual crowds, and the cooler evening weather made it much more comfortable and less humid.
The observatories we visited were amazing as well. The views were truly breathtaking, and honestly, pictures would not do them justice. Seeing the scenery in person was a completely different experience.
I would also like to commend our guide, Hayden, for being very considerate, polite, and attentive throughout the tour. He was always mindful of our comfort and made sure that everyone was doing well. He also speaks very good English, which made communication very easy. It was nice to have continuous conversations with him, as he was friendly, engaging, and easy to talk to. He takes good pictures too.
Overall, it was a refreshing and enjoyable tour.

Our tour to Busan with Yahoo was fun. He was hilarious, clever, delightful, and exceptional in every aspect! His style of humour was a perfect fit for our group, and his in-depth familiarity with the local past made each location come to life. He was incredibly well-organised, made sure everyone was comfortable, and kept us on schedule without ever making us feel hurried. We couldn't have asked for a more excellent guide. Ten/10

What to know about Jagalchi Market
Jagalchi Fish Market is the largest seafood market in South Korea and a must-visit if you're in Busan. Located near Jagalchi Station, Nampo Station, and Busan Station, this lively market in Jung-gu has been a hub of local life since the Korean War. It's now one of the city's top attractions, known for providing the freshest seafood straight from the sea to your table.
Choose your own fresh fish or live shellfish like abalone, octopus, or sea squirts from the downstairs vendors, and have them cooked or served raw upstairs. It’s one of the few places where you can enjoy a full meal of raw fish, spicy Korean dishes, and even some alcohol, all in the same building.
Whether you're exploring from Haeundae Station, Seomyeon Station, or coming in from Busan Port, a trip to Jagalchi Market is worth adding to your plan! This massive seafood market is not just about food; it's a wonder of Korean culture, where you can walk through rows of packed stalls, interact with the friendly women vendors known as "Jagalchi Ajumeoni," and enjoy sea views while you eat.

Things to Do in Jagalchi Market
Pick Your Own Seafood and Eat It Fresh
At Jagalchi Market, you can walk through rows of fish tanks and pick the exact seafood you want---like live crabs, abalone, octopus, or even sea squirts. After you choose, the vendor will send it upstairs to be cooked or served as raw fish (called "hwareo" in Korean).
Try Dried Seafood Snacks
Besides live seafood, Jagalchi Market is also known for its large dried fish section. You'll see rows of stalls selling dried squid, anchovies, and other salty snacks. You can taste samples before you buy. This is a fun way to explore the different flavors of Korean seafood without needing to sit down for a full meal.
Meet the "Jagalchi Ajumeoni"
The vendors at Jagalchi Market are mostly older Korean women, called "ajumeoni." They're friendly and hardworking, and many have been selling fish here for years. Talking to them or even watching them work gives you a glimpse into the local culture. It's part of what makes visiting Jagalchi Market feel so authentic.
Enjoy Ocean Views While You Eat
After you pick your seafood, head to the second floor of Jagalchi Market. Many of the restaurants there have tables near big windows that face the sea. You can enjoy your freshly cooked meal while watching the boats in Busan Port. It's a relaxing moment in the middle of a busy market.
