Must so in Seoul! - We joined this experience and it turned out to be one of the most fun activities of our trip. Suha is an excellent guide and speaks fluent English, which was rare to find during our time in Korea. She made everything easy, engaging, and enjoyable.
She took time for each of us and introduced us to all the local flavors of the market, explaining what we were trying and why it matters. It would have been nearly impossible to discover and understand all of this on our own. Highly recommended.

Great food tour in Seoul! - We had a fantastic time on this tour! It was a great way to kick off our first week in Seoul. We got to experience new foods and places we probably wouldn’t have visited on our own. Our guide was super lovely and very patient with the numerous questions from our 9 and 11 year old children. All the food was delicious and we were very full by the end. I would highly recommend!

Eat, Learn, Enjoy - This food experience was tasty, fun, and educational. My family got to try a wide variety of food and they were all delicious. And along the way Suha shared a good amount of history and personal experiences about these food. Seoul is a city with endless great food so this tour helped checked off many must-try items from our list!

Wonderful experience & guide - Our guide Soo-ha was friendly and engaging. She met us promptly at the meeting point and guided us straight to the market. We had several dishes at three different restaurants, and Soo-ha shared a range of information, from cultural tidbits to historical facts, about each dish and helped with pronunciation. The walk from the market to the ramen shop gave us some much-needed time to digest, and the final dessert stop in Insadong was very aesthetically pleasing and great for socials! We opted to stay in Insadong and keep exploring, although Soo-ha graciously offered help to anyone who needed to figure out post-tour transportation. All in all, a fantastic tour and we had well over the promised 12 food tastings!

Fun food for the 2nd time! - This is the second time I’ve done this food tour! Sue is amazing! She is fun, knowledgable, considerate and encouraging. This second time we tried a few different foods. I love that she keeps the tour current for the season. Next time I’m in Seoul, I’ll do the tour again!

HIGHLY recommend! Informative, entertaining and delicious! - Suhan was a delightful host, patiently and enthusiastically explaining every dish to us including the history and practices regarding it. In all, we tried a stunning 19 different food and drinks! The Gwangjang Market was fascinating and we can't wait to go back and walk through it on our own. We loved the fact that Suhan took us on a subway to other locations, including the self-service ramen restaurant and the charming Ikseon-dong area. Absolutely would recommend! In fact, we HIGHLY recommend that you do this tour very shortly after arriving in Seoul for your first time, because we learned what different menu items were when we went out in restaurants after that and understood what we liked.

Eating our way through Seoul - Suha was a wonderful guide. She curated a tasting menu of Seoul’s most well known dishes, hidden gems and local favourites. She provided context and history of the places we visited, complementing it with personal stories. Suha made our tour a most enjoyable experience. Great passion and enthusiasm ! The tour was supposed to be 12 tastings but we ended up with more like 20 because she added her personal favourites. Everything was delicious ! We highly recommend this food tour.
