  My friend recommended this package and I don't regret it at all. I had the most enjoyable time and there was a lot to see during this trip. Guy!! when you come to Korea you need to go where the locals go. That is the real culture experience and this package had that all!! The fee was reasonable including sightseeing, guided tour and Korean foods. The guide kindly explained everything whenever we are curious about things. She does know what she is doing! We were a group of 6 people, which was really good number. not crowded and enough to cheer each other. We kind of became friends at the end. Especially my partner was so happy to try all those different Korean foods and look around the local market. At the end of the trip, we were very grateful for what we just experienced and said we would definitely come back to have an other trip with her. I truly recommend to family or couples. It was not tiring at all it was all excitements! Korea is beautiful!!

  

  

  

  

  

• A Must-Do in Korea! Such a Fun Traditional Market Tour

  The traditional market tour with Youla Guide was absolutely amazing. I was able to see a truly authentic Korean local market. We started by having a warm bowl of porridge on a cold day, which was perfect for satisfying our hunger. After that, we walked around the market, and our guide treated us to many delicious snacks, so we were never hungry at all 😊 The herbal medicine museum experience was very unique. We learned about the ingredients used in herbal medicine and the process of how it is made, and we even enjoyed a relaxing foot bath that soothed our tired feet. I have a five-year-old son. There were so many cute toys throughout the tour, which made it easy to find souvenirs for him. In particular, the toy street had all kinds of toys, and I was even able to buy dog clothes at a very reasonable price. It was a fun tour where you can truly experience, explore, and feel real Korean culture. I’ve already highly recommended it to my friends, and I would love to join again if I get the chance!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Small group & real Korean experience!

  First of all, two thumbs up!! Everyone who still confused where to go in Seoul, this tour is the answer. This tour is small group with hand picked itinerary where the real locals enjoy. I always would prefer high quality over quantity, the money I paid was worth every minutes of the time we had with her. The CEO legitimately comes with us to guide all the way to the end make sure we are happy and satisfied. She had proper knowledge of places and foods, the selection of foods was amazing as well. I strongly recommend to everyone this tour course. When I come back to Seoul as time soon, I will definitely tour with her again with other route. Thank you again! I will see you again!!

  Had the best LOCAL day in Seoul! Our guide, Youla, was knowledgeable about Korean history and culture, and she introduced us to Korean traditional medicine, local fruits, and unique Korean ingredients. She took us to a truly local restaurant we never would have found on our own. Exploring the markets was a fun way to experience everyday Seoul. Dongmyo felt like stepping back in time I loved the atmosphere and the entire experience.

• Gratefully off the beaten track.

  This was a wonderful dive into what locals eat. I'm a fan of Korean food, but for Americans, that means barbecue and bibimbap. We tried many wonderful things that we knew nothing about, like the awesome mung bean pancakes. Youla was a terrific guide. She is knowledgeable and passionate. She is also fluent in English and was happy to answer questions about Korea and the culture. Thanks for a fun day.

  Even though I am Korean, I was visiting Korea after a long time, and this tour gave me such a warm and meaningful way to reconnect with everyday Korean culture. Gyeongdong Market felt alive, authentic, and full of stories that I would have completely missed on my own. What truly made the experience exceptional was the guide, Youla. Her deep knowledge, genuine passion, and thoughtful explanations brought the market, the people, and the culture to life. It never felt rushed or touristy—rather, it felt like being shown around by someone who truly loves and understands this place. This tour is recommended for those who want to discover the heart of Korea through fresh eyes. I left with a full heart, new perspectives, and lasting memories. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience the real soul of Seoul.

  Youla is an amazing guide! I loved our time, not only for the delicious food but learning about the rich Korean history. Youla is so passionate and knowledgeable. Although it was just us, the 4 hours flew by with deep conversations and good humour. You were born to do this, keep it up 🙏

• Exploring Seoul like a local

  This was a really enjoyable and authentic experience in Seoul. Starting at the K-Medi Center gave a simple and interesting introduction to Korean traditional medicine and how it still fits into everyday life. Visiting Gyeongdong Market with a guide made it much easier to understand and appreciate. It’s a busy local market and not somewhere I would have explored confidently on my own. The lotus leaf rice lunch, warm herbal tea, and foot bath were especially nice, particularly on a cold day. Overall, it felt relaxed, informative, and very local. A great option if you want to experience everyday Korean culture beyond the usual tourist spots.

  It was one of the best and most authentic experiences in Seoul. Highly recommended if you want to experience everyday Korean culture beyond the usual sights. The market is not easy to approach on your own, so I was really glad to experience it together with the K-Medi Center and the foot spa, especially on a cold day. It didn’t feel touristy at all. Our guide, Youla, was very attentive and friendly, and it was so kind of her to share an Olive Young shopping list with us. I would definitely recommend this to any friends planning an authentic cultural trip to Korea.
