5.00This is experience was all about the guide. Jay made this very memorable and we are very thankful. He explained where and what we were doing. He always asked to make sure the walk was going to be ok. Took pictures of us. Explained not only the food but the history and construction of the city.
Yummy and fun experience

5.00We had the pleasure of getting a food tour with Andrew during a long layover in Seoul. Such a great experience! He was very accommodating to having jet lagged kids and food allergies. We were able to get some history on Korea during our drive also. Besides him being knowledgeable, he was great to be around. I highly recommend!

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Oky, our tour guide. She took us to the best places to taste the local food, local flavors, local markets and Korean BBQ. We ended with a very nice walking in the streets of Seoul. She was very well knowledge in the culture, food and palaces around Seoul and made fantastic recommendations. We had a great time with Oki and did enjoy the overall experience.
