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!

Highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to cover all the main attractions in Busan within one day. The tour was well managed by our friendly and skilled tour guide, Victoria who can speak English, Chinese and Korean. Her service was one of the best part of this tour! The bus provided was very comfortable and our driver maneuvered the vehicle very well especially at the steep routes leading up to Gamcheon Cultural Village. Additional plus points of this tour is that we were given free post cards at the end of the trip (not forced to drop review to receive it) and at BIFF, we got to taste Busan Hotteok as well (provided by the tour). Look at the beautiful sites we explored especially Gamcheon Cultural Village and Haeundae Sky Capsule !

This was a good tour for those looking to take a rest from extensive walking. Convenient bus pick up at multi locations and you can request to depart the tour at anytime. We mainly booked as a means to get tickets for the sky capsule but it was well worth it with all the other stops included. Our guide (pronounced Mlee), communicated well and was personable. Our capsule trip was perfectly timed w. spectacular views of the sunset. Our trip ended around 20:45 with the local shark sighting at North Point park which was icing on the cake. Last stop before heading back to the meeting point in Haeundae was behind Busan Station which worked out for us as our hotel was nearby. Mahalo for a great & smooth experience!

It was a great day with Alice as our tour guide. We saw a few places in just one day. This is a very efficient way to see Busan highlights especially if you have only a few days. We decided to do this tour so we can spend the other days easy as without missing out. Alice took us to a few photo spots. I think that the timing was great, she changed the schedule a bit so we could avoid the rush a bit. It was still inevitable as they were Busan’s hot spots, but manageable. No need to worry about getting to all these places on your own. Easier with one transpo. We also got a nice little post card souvineera which was nice. 😊 Thank you Alice and Mr bus driver ( didnt get his name) for a smooth trip.

Ryu is the best guide! He messaged us before the trip to introduce himself, which was a great way to start. Throughout the whole trip, he made sure to drive safely and comfortably.
He clearly explained and shared interesting information about every place we visited. What we appreciated most was that he never rushed us and always gave us enough time to enjoy each destination at our own pace.
We even ended up extending the trip for a few extra minutes, and Ryu was kind enough to drop us off at a train station near our hotel, which was very convenient.
This trip with Ryu was definitely worth it! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a safe, knowledgeable, and considerate guide. ❤️

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour! Despite the rainy weather, our guide, Katrina, was incredibly accommodating, adjusting the schedule to ensure we could start once the rain subsided. The itinerary provided a good introduction to the local market and some history. Katrina was such a delight to talk to—her English is excellent, and she was truly engaging and we like how respectful she is when giving her opinions on topics discussed. It felt less like a formal tour and more like walking around the city with a knowledgeable friend who got insider tips. The food inclusive with this tour makes the package reasonable. Overall, it was an excellent experience!

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.
Take a Walk Around the Outdoor Stalls
Outside Jagalchi Market, there are more stalls and vendors selling all kinds of seafood and Korean street food. You can take a short walk along the shore or through the nearby Nampo-dong shopping streets.
