We had a very pleasant time with our guide Celine. She showed us all the main dishes we needed to try-out in the market, but also gave good advice for other food related questions. Very kind guide and good english.

So much fun! Virginia was amazing as a guide and was able to give so much detail in the food we were provided. Some of the spots she wanted to have us try were closed due to the holiday but she pivoted quickly and made it a memorable experience! If you’re lucky enough to get her, you’ll be happy you took this tour.

If you are intimidated by the hectic Seoul street food scene, fear not and take a tour with Zenobia. She will guide you through the must eat food items and explain the history behind the area and food items ( it’s her study major!). Beware, come hungry because there is a lot of great food and great conversation and history to eat up. You eat communal style and have a great opportunity to meet locals. This is not just a tasty bite. This is full on Korean street food experience!

Zeni was a great guide, she provided great overview of the markets histort. She had great knowledge of the food and good relationship with each vendor we visited which meant we were able to get the food quickly. We were provided a good variety of food, even our toddler enjoyed it. She even assisted us with getting our taxi home.

We had such a great time on our food tour with Virginia. She was friendly, fun, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. She took us around to try so much delicious food, and it was such a lovely way to explore. Definitely recommend!

This tour is a fabulous way to taste several types of traditional Korean food in a fun setting. Be aware - yhe market is crowded with tourists and Koreans (all vying for bench seats at one of the food stalls), but that adds to the high energy atmosphere. I appreciated that the tour was 1 stop and not an off-and-on bus experience. Virginia, our guide, was fantastic - knowledgeable about Korea (and Japan; she has a Masters in Asian Studies) and comes from the heel of Italy. She was very kind and patient with us and the stall owners, who can get feisty if you want to order a dish to share. Great way to experience the market!
