Delicious food and facts - Suha is a wonderful guide who combined presenting the delicious Korean cuisine with interesting historical facts. She ensured that we tried various foods and accommodated the request for less spicy foods for my child. Her bubbly personality in addition to all that the Gwangjang Market and Iksadong have to offer resulted in an unforgettable food tour. 감사함니다 Suha ❤️

You'll love this tour!! - Suha is a great tour guide! She made it a really comfortable experience for me, as a solo traveller, enabling me to be my true self. The food spots were amazing, showing off a great range of dishes Korea has to offer. Travelling around the surrounding areas of the market, Suha explained the local history as we discussed our shared tastes in music (something she wasn't expecting 😂). I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a fantastic introduction to the Taste of Seoul while being accompanied by such a lovely guide!

A great way to get to know Seoul and it's food - We did a private tour with Suha and it was fabulous. We got to try lots of diffrent food and tehre was no pressure to try anything you wouldn't be comfortable with. It was so nice to meet and share a smile with the stallholders. We loved the fried chicken and the mung bean pancakes. The market is a lot smaller than we thought so we took a walk along the stream which is a great way to walk off some of the delicious food. Suha dropped us back at Ikseon and we really feel like we'd made a friend. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Seoul can be difficult to get your bearings so a guided walk like this really helps.

Fun tour and a must do when in Seoul - My experience on the food tour in Seoul's Gwangjang Market with Suha was exceptional. The self-serve ramen spot was a highlight, allowing for a personalized culinary adventure. The leisurely stroll by the stream offered a tranquil escape amidst the market's vibrancy. Suha's attentive guidance, particularly in introducing us to charming cafes, added to the tour's charm. Overall, it was a delightful outing, blending culinary delights with scenic serenity.

Best way to get a real taste of Korean food - Suha was an exceptional guide! She was friendly, knowledgable and willing to adapt to our needs. She also speaks fluent English. Visiting Gwangjang Market with a local makes it so much less daunting. Everything we tried was delicious and super affordable. My husband and I enjoyed her company and she even became our personal photographer. Suha even learned a few things about South Africa, where we are from, which goes to show her commitment. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seoul.

Highly recommended! - Today we went on a tour with Suha. It was truly fantastic! Suha let us experience various dishes from the market and told us a lot about Seoul and South Korea. After this we went for a drink together and had a ‘gezellige’ chat for hours about anything and everything. It was a great experience! Suha, thank you so much for your hospitality and enthusiasm. Highly recommended for everyone!
