5.00Jiyoon was was very knowledgeable of all food dishes and clearly described the history and ingredients of each dish. She was very friendly and didnt rush anyone with eating and allowed us to take our time. Definitely helpful being a solo traveler. Would highly recommend booking if wanting to visit a traditional market for the first time
10/10 would recommend!
