EasyTicket Search for Daejeon’s “bread bus” and two similarly named tours pop up — confusing, right? Here’s the short version: Yountravel’s “Ppangtikan Sullye” (a play on “ppang,” meaning bread, and “Vatican pilgrimage”) and Daejeon City Tour’s “Ppangsi Tour” (a blend of “ppang” and “city tour”) are two completely different products. Ppangtikan Sullye is led in person by the original Bread Taxi driver who went viral on social media, while Ppangsi Tour is the wallet-friendly official city route. Here’s everything you need, from how the two differ to how to book them.
Why Are There Two Daejeon Bread Buses?
The original Daejeon bread tour is the Bread Taxi. Driver An Seong-u, a former travel planner with 20 years of experience, personally visited around 100 bakeries to map out the route, and it exploded in popularity as people shared Instagram photos and Reels. Once a review video passed 100,000 likes on Instagram, a single taxi could no longer keep up with demand.
That’s how Ppangtikan Sullye came about: taxi expanded into bus. Around the same time, the city of Daejeon folded the demand for bread tours into its official city tour route, and Ppangsi Tour was born. Even though both are called a “bread bus,” the operator, price, and vibe are different, so the key is picking the one that fits you.
Ppangtikan Sullye — The Original That Went Viral
Ppangtikan Sullye is a bread-tour-only bus that the Bread Taxi driver runs together with Yountravel. Driver An Seong-u and his wife personally ride along as guides for the course. Its strength is that it carries over the exact route and know-how already proven on the Bread Taxi.

Tips and Things to Watch Out For
✅ What to Bring
- Insulated bag + ice pack: for storing fresh cream cakes and pastries
- Comfortable shoes: for walking between stops and waiting in line
- Cash or a debit card: some bakeries’ card terminals can be slow
- Portable battery: for QR-code scans and checking the route
Popular bakeries often sell out within 2~3 hours of opening. If there’s a bread you absolutely have to try, make it your first stop on the course.
⚠️ Things to Note
- Ppangtikan Sullye can be canceled if it doesn’t meet the minimum group size of 8 people
