Sophie was a great guide. She was of course knowledgeable but also funny and engaging. We loved having the opportunity to try food and places we wouldn't have on our own. Highly recommend!

Sally took us through the nooks and crannies of the market. The foods were delicious and I really enjoyed talking to her about living in Seoul.

Highly recommended! Joy is very knowledgeable and did a great job looking after the group. The food and snacks we had were amazing. Joy showed us the different alleys and shops that we wouldn't have known or gone otherwise. Saw different side dishes and unique delicacies, and even visited the Namdaemun gate nearby. Thanks Joy for a great time.
