Come with an empty stomach because you will get filled up! Going to Gwangjang Market with a local helps to narrow the overwhelming options of what to order. Tae Seong has excellently chosen the best introduction to Korean street food. You’ll get snacks and desserts that are steamed, fried, griddled, sauced, wrapped, and all delicious. He also shares some insights into Korean life and culture. We were lucky to have a personal tour as the others in our group cancelled. 맛있게 드세요 (enjoy your meal!)

Our host taesong was awesome! We went to seven different food stalls and tried so many things! He knew which vendors had the best version of each thing and got us into a couple of the popular vendors before the lines got long. We had a great time! Highly recommend!
The best of street food!

We never would have known where to start at this fascinating market without the fantastic guidance of Taesong. He made great arrangements at the very best locations. Best to go hungry. It was a lot of food. And to top it off he very patiently helped us locate the correct metro and transfer instructions.
