I created this tour for my vegetarian family visiting from abroad, who struggled to figure out what they could safely eat in Seoul’s markets. I spent over a month in Gwangjang Market before my family came, checking ingredients and talking with each cook until I mapped a route for vegetarians.

Since guiding my family, I kept researching and fine-tuning the route. Every stop is now fully plant-based, so both vegetarians and vegans can join with confidence. I handle all ordering and translation, so you can simply enjoy the food and stories.

Important note: Gwangjang is a busy working market; some cross-contact may occur, and the tour is not suitable for strict gluten-free diets or severe food allergies.

    We loved the vegan food tour at Gwangjang Market and would highly recommend it! It was such a treat to try a variety of Korean specialties (or their vegan versions) without the stress of having to find vegan options ourselves. Everything we tried was delicious. There was a lot of food, so definitely come hungry; you’ll get your money’s worth! Our guide, Jungho, was fantastic: attentive, kind, and spoke excellent English. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
