5.00Junghee was great. Very energetic and spoke fluent English. Went on an educational tour around the market and she explained what things were in season and what things were not. We then went to her studio and started cooking. She made it a very fun and friendly learning environment and the food legitimately came out great. One of the best seafood pancakes I've ever had and technically, I made it myself.
10/10 would recommend!

5.00Can’t say enough good things about this tour, it’s no wonder why it has almost exclusively 5 star reviews! Sarah is the best and so knowledgeable, I was a solo traveler and met lots of people around my age (20s/30s) and learned some cultural context and a few useful Korean phrases, which was invaluable for my first day in the country! Really would recommend, great experience!

5.00This was a great tour, with an awesome tour guide, and I highly recommend it. Junghee shared her knowledge of the market, which she goes to every day. Then we created four dishes that were delicious and easy to make back home. She was also good at teaching us Korean words and customs, which I really appreciated.
A very enjoyable way to...

5.00We had such a fun time! Junghee is so happy and kind. The market visit was interesting and informative. The cooking class was so much fun. She is super organized and is ready for everything. She paid special attention to those in our group who had specific preferences or food restrictions. Our group of 8 loved it. We were combined with another group of lovely people.
