Drinking and Eating through the Alleys of Seoul

THIS TOUR IS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER TOURS! I focus on food and drinks. The main focus is drinking at each spot while we eat some great food. I provide 5 hour tours. I will be taking you around the neighborhoods that have the best food in Seoul, HANDS DOWN! There are tiny alleys that even locals don't know about! I have taken many people around here including my native Korean friends and they will agree that it is the best of the best! Just make sure to bring a huge appetite as we will be trying a ton of dishes!
I do not take you to places that you will be able to find on google or are commercialized. I take you to places you would typically not be able to go to on your own.
If you have dietary restrictions, please don't book or contact me first. There aren't many non-meat options.
The food and drinks are NOT included in the price of the tour. Everything is cheap and you will split the cost with the other people in the group. It gives you more flexibility.
This tour is NOT for kids.

A must do food tour in Seoul!

5.00Wish we had done this tour when we arrived in Seoul, but maybe, if we had, we wouldn’t have appreciated how special it was. We’ve been in South Korea for two weeks, eating a lot of food, but Mike introduced us to things we had not yet eaten and wonderfull versions of things we already had. The tour is so well paced with food and drinks. It makes it really enjoyable. On other food tours we find often you are given quick, successive foods that fill you up and it lessens your enjoyment of the experience. Mike’s knowledge of all things Korea, is incredible. We enjoyed hearing about the history and making of the alcohol that we drank and it was fabulous that we got taste so many different varieties. We had the most wonderful group which enhance the whole evening. Now I know why this tour is so well rated.. I would definitely recommend this tour to people that really want to explore Korean food and alcohol! We give it at a big, thumbs up!

5.00Mike is truly the embodiment of the word "foodie". He shares his deep passion and respect for Korean food and culture with his guests. Whether you’re with family, solo traveling, or just hungry, Mike makes the vibe very comfortable and accommodating.
Best part of our trip!!!

5.00Mike has deep connections in the market. With Mike’s experience, we experienced parts of Seoul that we wouldn’t have known, including a few rooftops, a back alley that serves just about everything raw, and a few tents that make better food than anyone else in town. What our group really like was the flexible nature of the tour. It was up to us how deep into Korean Cuisine and how many Korean beverages we wanted to experience (so don’t forget to bring the recommended won before the tour so that you can splurge if you want to!!!). This was the best part of our trip and I hope to see Mike again when I return to Seoul!
