Our purpose is to give you an unforgettable local experience, ensuring safety and comfort as you explore Seoul’s most iconic night attractions in one seamless journey.

Begin your evening with a peaceful stroll through Changgyeonggung Palace, where royal stories come alive under the stars and hidden corners invite perfect photo moments.

Then, feel the vibrant energy of Gwangjang Market. Taste over 11 authentic Korean dishes in generous portions, from beloved classics to adventurous specialties like locals!

Between tastings, your guide shares insights into Korean drinking culture. Raise a glass like a local, share laughter, and connect through tradition.

As night deepens, the lanterns of Jogyesa Temple cast a gentle glow over the city, offering a serene contrast to the lively market.

This journey blends history, flavors, and night scenery into one unforgettable memory.

Kwangjang Market

From sipping on the iconic Makgeolli (Korean rice wine) to savoring the delightful Jeon (savory pancakes), every moment spent here offers an extraordinary gastronomic adventure. If you're a daring foodie, try the live octopus, a standout dish famously featured in the movie "Old Boy". Its unique texture and fresh taste create a culinary experience that is both exciting and memorable. Tasting the live octopus offered at the market is a personal choice. And there's more. Get ready to taste four special types of traditional Korean street food, each one a crowd-pleaser at Gwangjang Market. These are not your typical fast food; each dish has a story, every bite is a piece of Korean culture. No visit to Gwangjang Market is complete without trying the popular Kkwabaegi (twisted Korean donuts). These sweet treats are so popular that people line up to get their hands on them. But with our insider tips, you can skip the line and dive straight into this sweet indulgence.

    It’s nice to see a palace and temple at night with all the lighting. I loved the food market. It’s all very delicious and definitely the highlight. In the evening the food market is less crowded. Lia is a great guide.

    MUST do when you first come to Seoul! Enoch was the best tour guide and made my mother and I feel comfortable and welcomed. I learned so much about Korean history, food, and culture. The food tour at the market is like a hidden gem that I wouldn’t have found on my own. There is a decent amount of walking, so dress comfortably, but it’s needed after all the good food we ate!
