“The tour was very good. It was just great to have Ji Yoon take us through the whole experience. She introduced us to the little restaurants that I would have been hesitant to try out but now I know the process it is easy to do. Ji also explained each of the dishes we tasted and was curious to know how they fitted in our preferences.

So it was good learning on Korean dishes I had now come across before. The last…”

Savor Seoul in 3 hours with 12 tastings at Gwangjang Market, a 24/7 ramen shop, and Ikseon-dong, led by an English guide.

“Incredible experience. Su Han (hopefully this is the right spelling) was amazing. Great command of English, very engaging, thoughtful, kept all participants together and made sure everyone enjoyed each aspect of the tour. What was also great was that even though each location was busy, we were able to sit down to experience the meal together in a restaurant, rather than standing at a stall or on the street. Each sit down location (4) had amazing Korean food from tekkboki, soybean pancake, beef/vegetable soup, fish cakes, ban Chan (appetizers), fluffy egg soup, bulgogi, etc. it was even a fun experience to try the octopus (dead but still moving). The ramen…”

Cheer with Korean fans at Jamsil baseball stadium with included beer and K-BBQ or fried chicken, guided in English and Korean.

Tickets were more expensive than first advertised due to finals series being on, but the communication was clear and up front (with offer of refund if needed). We were taken aback by the constant signing, celebrating and festivities. Was a great night… and the Twins won which was even better!! Thanks to our host Thomas (and Jin) for making everything seamless.”
