“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. The selection of things to taste was very good as a few I would never have thought about trying. Now I know more about Korean street food options. So it was good learning on Korean dishes I had now come across before. The last…”

“I am glad I chose this tour as it was more than just a food tasting tour. We started with Changgyeonggung palace. Sen was our guide and she told us a lot of interesting stories of the palace. The food tasting was at Namdaemun market and food was plentiful. We also walked through Insadong, which was very cool with the cafes housed in traditional hanks. Ended the tour at Jogyesa temple. Sen was a wonderful guide, gave us a lot of information about the places visited and the food we ate. Highly recommend this tour.”
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…”
