5.00We loved our guide Juli. She taught us about local culture and history while we tried lots of new foods. It was a fun adventure in a local market and so nice to have a guide that knew what to order.
Outstanding Korean Food Tour with Thomas!

5.00We had a fantastic food tour in Seoul with Thomas. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. Thomas took us to a wide variety of food stalls and introduced us to many delicious Korean dishes that we may never have discovered on our own. What made the tour especially memorable was the wealth of information he shared. Not only did he explain the history and significance of the foods we sampled, but he also provided fascinating insights into Korean culture and history, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Thomas was friendly, engaging, and happy to answer all of our questions. His passion for Korean food and culture was evident, and it greatly enhanced our visit to Seoul. We highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for an authentic and informative Korean food tour experience.

5.00Great tour with Chris - lots of food and history! Got to see much of the market and learn about the history of Korea
Terrible experience, misleading reviews.

1.00This was supposed to be a food tour. The listing promised 10 different foods, and would include Sejong and the palace. We met at the first market, had 3 different food within 15 minutes, and then walked for 2 hours without food or water to another market. We had one other food item after demanding that we stop for water. We did not sign up to walk for two hours in mostly silence. I could have curated a better tour myself than what we experienced. While our guide was kind, it was obvious he had no plan.
Fantastic!

5.00Our guide Juli was amazing! She is extremely friendly, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. She took us to a wide variety of places, including a dumpling stand, street market, restaurants in traditional Korean Hanoks, and ending with a traditional tea house. Highly recommend Juli’s tour for a fantastic overview of Korean food and covering many neighborhoods in Seoul.
