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 or cross-contamination may occur, and the tour is not suitable for strict gluten-free diets or food allergies.

5.00This was the most fun adventure we have ever been on! Jungho was a very thoughtful tour guide! He took us through the market with ease. The food and drinks were amazing! We laughed, we ate so much food, we learned about Korean culture. There would be no way we could have enjoyed anything vegan at this market without a tour guide. It was so much fun! Truly the best family activity! Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.
