        Great experience, must do when in Busan!
        We had a great afternoon and evening with Mister Chang! We did the food market tour together with another couple. We gained a lot of background history and nice tips on how to go through the market. We went up some buildings for some nice views and walked around at a nice pace for about 1.5/2 hours. We also booked the dinner part, so we went to Mr. Chang's kitchen studio by bus. We bought some drinks at the market and had nice chats while Mr. Chang cooked several dishes with fresh seafood and nice condiments! After dinner we discussed more amazing things about Busan and he gave us a lot of tips for hikes and restaurants that we followed up. Mr. Chang is very approachable and speaks proper English. You can reach out to him through whatsapp and he responds really quick. So definitely book a tour with him when you are in Busan!! You'll have a great time and a really good connection whenever you are in Busan.

        Delicious Meal with Suyang
        Our guide, Suyang, delivered an incredible experience. Our tour and dinner were personalized to our food preferences. We learned a lot and ate well. Suyang was knowledgeable and friendly. The man can cook! Some of the best food we ate on our trip we bought at the market. In particular, we loved his curry shrimp. There was a longer transport from the market to the kitchen than expected, but Suyang bought us all the beer and soju we wanted in the end:) We would book this tour again!

        Best tour in Busan!
        Highly recommended Suyang samchon tour! Suyang reached out to us before the tour to check if we wanted to stay until midnight for the tour! He came with lanterns and flashlight to help us take beautiful photos at night! Suyang speaks English and Mandarin well! Will definitely rebook with him when we visit Busan again!

        Best tour guide!
        Busan Samchon, Suyang is the best tour guide! He's very personable and easy to communicate with! The tour is small so I get to ask a lot of questions about Korea and the site! He went above and beyond to help me looking for a snack for my friend back home! I really appreciate his kindness!

        An amazing experience! Book this cooking class!
        We could not have had a better time, this experience FAR exceeded our expectations. The meet up was easy and the market adventure was awesome. Dinner after the market was an unexpected surprise and very good. We prepared the marinated abalone and will be making it when we return home.

        Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival 2024
        It was a fabulous tour and I would highly recommend it! Suyang is a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide, who kept me informed of the tour plans and the tour ran as per itinerary. This was the first night of the Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival 2024 and were lucky to watch the drone show and fireworks, which is only scheduled on specific nights. Due to the large scale of the festival, we kept together as a group. My tips are to wear comfy walking shoes, as we did not stop for long periods and the walking paths are not always flat. There is so much to see on both sides of the river. Carry water and small snacks as there are few vendors on the castle / fortress side. Plenty of vendors on the other side of the river.

        Fun cooking class
        My husband and I had a great time learning how to cook Korean food with Suyang! He explained the history and traditions of each item we made. We left very full and with leftovers.

        Great experience, low key, must try
        This tour was so much fun and full of pleasant surprises. First, we had great directions so it was easy to meet up Suyang-then we walked to the market and started exploring the surrounding areas. Suyang is very knowledgeable and gave us great background on the history of the space as well as South Korea and Busan. We went shopping for fresh seafood and got to pick what we liked along with a few alcoholic beverages to taste. Dinner was impressive! The dishes were served one by one, hot, fresh and delicious and one of the best meals we’ve had so far. Suyang is a very talented cook and let us enjoy the meals at our own pace. It was full of fun and laughter and great food! Incidentally we took the bus to travel to the kitchen where we had our dinner so it was nice to get a a glimpse of daily life of Busan citizens. We tried interesting things like sea squirt and spoonworm and liked the experience. My friend and I had an awesome time, had great food, great laughs and a really good time with Suyang -I highly recommend!

        Fun night to explore a new side of Busan
        Such a unique experience. We saw the market and Suyang showed us some great viewing spots in the area. We then went back to his kitchen where he prepared the food. The food was EXCELLENT. We even tried spoonworm and sea squirt for something new. It was a great way to spend our first night in Busan.

        One of a kind experience in Busan- A must do!
        This was one of the highlights of my trip, as truly it provided a unique experience to the Jagalchi market. However, Suyang was the main reason for my very high rating— He was extremely knowledgeable, respectful, and fun! His knowledge of the whereabouts ensured that i had the best view of Busan from the observatory and another city view that i have not seen anyone mention before. He is also very prepared! He had a light so that my pictures turned out very nice even though it was dark. Overall i would highly recommend this experience as you feel like you’re a local within Busan, and escape the typical touristy stuff.

        Seafood feast for the ages!
        My family and I had an amazing experience with Suyang on this tour. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and an excellent cook! It was great to experience the market with his help and the meal he prepared was one of our favourites of our entire trip. I’d highly recommend this tour!

        Unique and personal seafood market tour and memorable meal
        Excellent guided tour of the market, Suyang gave us a chance to ask many questions about things that were new to us. Suyang patiently described flavour profiles and preparation techniques for traditional seafood. It was informative and personal. The meal that followed the tour was amongst the best seafood dining experiences I have ever had. Essentially a private chef for the evening preparing and explaining traditional dishes. It was a unique experience and one I would heartily recommend to anyone foreign or domestic. I will definitely remember it as one of my favorite Korean experiences.

        Fun way to spend a morning in Busan!
        Fun low key no frills cooking class. Suyang was an excellent correspondent. Clear directions on where to meet up and when. We appreciated that we could choose our dishes and that he shared the recipes beforehand (some members of our group have food allergies). We loved being able to shop with him for the ingredients at the indoor outdoor food market . Recipes were easy, approachable and ones we can probably replicate back home. We ate and cooked for 4.5 hrs. Ended the morning full and with fun pictures. Bonus: his cooking lab is located five minute walking distance from Magnate cafe (owned by Jimin’s dad (BTS)!

      I think it is an honor to introduce the beautiful city of Pohang thanks to the wonderful drama called Hometown cha cha cha. I was happy that you liked the Korean buffet restaurant. It is an honor to arrange your precious time for my Pohang tour. I hope to see you again in Korea next time. Thank you.

      Busan Oppa and his driver, Mr Park had been amazing hosts for our trip to Pohang! Prior to our trip, Mr Chang is very resourceful and responds promptly and fluently (in english) to my questions.

      Unfortunately, Mr Chang informed us a day prior to our tour that he was unable to come along due to a medical emergency. However he provided us with solutions and and we went ahead with the tour with his driver, Mr Park. Despite of his absence, we witnessed Mr Chang checking in with Mr Park several times a day over calls on our tour progress.

      Mr Park was very fluent in both English and Mandarin as well, and we had no problems communicating with him.
      We went to most sites around Pohang. Mr Park was very accommodating and suggested us places for lunch since we weren’t keen on settling ours at Yoon’s dental clinic. We even stop by at a coffee shop overlooking the sea. The view was amazing!

      Thank you for your professionalism! We enjoyed the tour very much and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Busan Oppa for your upcoming Busan tours!

      The trip has been very wonderful as Suyang brought us to filming locations in the drama. The dental clinic, Hong 반장 's house, old granny's house, young teacher's house, Hong 반장's boat up the hill and where he did his surfing, the pub etc. We added spacewalk to our trip too.
      Suyang is very courteous and helpful, he offered us water and heatpad too! So sweet and kind!

      Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to create beautiful memories. Thanks to the drama (Hometown cha cha cha), I am honored to be able to show Pohang to travelers from all over the world. Many customers feel burdened at Sabang Memorial Park because of the condition of going up to the hill, but I was also happy to be able to drive comfortably to the top of the hill. I am also happy that you liked the commemorative magnet sent after the trip. I hope to be able to show you the beautiful tourist spots of Korea through my tour next time.

      With a 20 days trip in Korea, I decided to include something different in my itinerary and booked a private HomeTown Cha Cha Cha tour with Busan Oppa (Mr Chang) after seeing some interesting pictures that turned up on my Facebook. Busan Oppa was very helpful, assisting me with recommendations on where would be a good place to stay, good restaurants nearby, transportation and other queries I had even those not related to my tour. He really knows the best food in town, I must vouch that.
      The locations for the drama are not so simple to get to as they can be quite far apart from each other, so having a guide with you who is familiar with the places, is necessary. Indeed, the trip with Busan Oppa was very interesting as we also went to several other scenic places besides the targeted locations of the Kdrama. I especially loved the Persimmon farm where we got to plug off the organic fruits and eat them fresh. Throughout the tour, Busan Oppa was very patient as my elderly sister has difficulty and needs a walking stick to climb steps. He took pictures for us and even sent a number of picture magnets to our final hotel before we flew home.
      Busan Oppa is well versed in English and Mandarin and of course Korean. I am learning Korean and he gave me useful tips about the language. He contributes lots of interesting information about Korea on social media, so he is a good source to gain more knowledge if you are interested in Korea or Korean culture. This tour is truly a highlight of my whole 20 days trip in Korea.
