We had a blast with Dylan and Korea Go Tours! He met us at our hotel and kept us laughing with funny anecdotes along the way and answered all of the questions we had about Busan. The first activity was the yacht ride which took us in to the Gwangalli Bay area giving us spectacular views of the Diamond Bridge. As we were enjoying the fun music and lovely scenery, we were pleasantly surprised to see fireworks sparkling from other boats, then we were able to set our own off as well (with guidance of course!). After the fireworks and wonderfully relaxing ride on the water, we visited Bupyeong Kkangtong Market for a street food market experience. We got to visit one of Dylan's many Moms who was an Ahjumma with a story like the main character in 'Ode to my Father' who took over her mother in law's market stand shortly after marrying her husband, selling roasted sweet potato and chestnuts and evolving it into one of the tastiest noodle, teokbeokki, and odeng stalls in the market. Make sure to find out her life story with Dylan's help! On our way out, we had handmade ice cream at Dylan's brother from another mother's stall - basically heavy cream or milk and fruit mixed and beaten by hand into a delicious roll of cool, soft scrumptious-ness. After a nice meal, another one of Dylan's Moms gave us some yummy homemade taffy which he shared with us on our way to the last stop! We then made our way up to the Cheonmasan Observatory and had the best night view of the city. We also happened to meet the main couple of the movie 'Ode to my father' and snapped some photos with them! Dylan made us feel at home as if we were visiting family. His mood was high in life and energized us so much that we didn't want to tour to end. He also took tons of photos for us and with us so that we can remember the experience. We hope that you pick this tour with Dylan and Korea Go Tours when you visit Busan because you will have lots of laughter and fun!
