The food market tour with Tan was brilliant. We tried lots of foods we otherwise would not have, the pancakes, dumplings, noodles were delicious and the live octopus was a real experience! The drinking games were fun and Tan made the whole thing really entertaining.

Had a great time on this food tour! Received super tasty food and great explanation from our tour guide Juno! He was great and very clear English for our mixed group from all over the world. Nice to skip the lines! Had more food and drinks than we could handle! Highly recommend

    Absolutely amazing experience. My favorite tour of my trip to Seoul. The food was amazing, we got to try over 10 different dishes/drinks, we played drinking games, and watched each other freak out over the live octopus. Would absolutely do again in a heart beat. Our guide was funny, informative, and charismatic. I went with my dad but ended up spending even more time bonding with the solo travelers of the group. Wonderful foodie and cultural experience! PS: Koreans drinks a lot 😂

    Our guide Jacob was really personable, humorous, very helpful and made our experience unforgettable. And the food was a good exposure of Korean cuisine.
    Fantastic food tour with Roky
    Nicky_G, Nov 2025
    We had a fantastic food tour with Roky. He was so kind, friendly, knowledgable and passionate about showing us a variety of Korean food and drinks. He was also so helpful in accommodating one of our group’s dietary requirements. He also told us great stories about how food plays such an important role in older and more modern Korean culture, and gave us great recommendations for other places to go. Highly recommend. Thank you Roky!
    A must when in Seoul
    Flavia_B, Nov 2025
    Had a lot of fun sampling 10 different Korean specialties. Highly recommend this tour, especially at the beginning of your trip to get a nice introduction to the local food culture. Thank you Tan for such a fun tour!
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Food Tour with Juno!
    Veronique_D, Nov 2025
    Our tour with Juno was absolutely amazing and one of the best experiences we had in Seoul! He was knowledgeable, funny, and full of great energy, making every stop both delicious and entertaining. We loved skipping the long lines (especially for those incredible doughnuts!) and trying authentic local dishes we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Juno went beyond food — he shared fascinating stories about Korean culture, history, and K-Pop, and even gave us great tips on where to eat, shop, and which famous spots to visit. His English was super clear, and he made everyone in our diverse group feel included and comfortable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seoul — it’s the perfect mix of food, culture, and fun. Thank you, Juno, for such an unforgettable night!
    Best tour!
    Marissa_D, Nov 2025
    No surprise! Another 5 star review. Jacob was our guide and he was INCREDIBLE. Our group was lively and fun. Our favorite part of the night was the drinking games. Haven’t laughed that hard in a while! Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

    Jacob’s tour was the perfect way to spend our first night in Seoul. All the food was delicious and he shared history of the dishes along the way. He was also such a fun and engaging host, it made us all feel comfortable chatting and getting to know each other. Highly recommend!!!
    Must Do whilst in Seoul
    Kurleigh_M, Nov 2025
    I was part of the tour at Gwangjang Night Market led by Taehaeng Lee. Tan's obvious enthusiasm, good humour, and knowledge led to an enjoyable evening full of food, fun, and of course drinks 😄. What an amazing evening! 10/10 would recommend
    Best Korean Food Tour!
    Amber_K, Nov 2025
    What an amazing experience and with a great tour guide, Jacob. We tried kimbap, dumplings, soju, and many other Korean food. You will not feel hungry at all. Definitely don’t eat anything before this!
    Excellent!
    Nisha_P, Nov 2025
    Our guide Yoon was perfect! We tried many different dishes, all hot and fresh. We drank and played many fun drinking games too. Yoon kindly took pictures and sent them to us after with a helpful recap of food/drink we tried. He was knowledgable, chatty and fun! And his English was immaculate. Highly recommend!
    Great street food style tour
    klarahamilton, Nov 2025
    Great food Tour through food markets in Seoul. It is a very busy market so often you are standing off to the side eating and being given the information. Drinking game at the end was really fun, as was the opportunity to try some popular street foods. Would recommend, but definitely be aware its more street food, rather than restaurant food based Tour.
    Super!
    Jules_T, Nov 2025
    We booked this tour without expectations, partly because we are already quite acquainted with Korean food so it was more for something to do on our first day in Seoul. We were surprised at how much we enjoyed the 2 hours and it was really because of our host, Yoon! Yoon was nice enough to even communicate personally with me after the tour about some other recommendations I asked for. At the end of the day, tours are only as good as your host and in this case I would rate it a solid 13/10.
    Awesome tour!
    Jennifer_H, Nov 2025
    My husband and I went on the night tour and had a wonderful time! The food was all awesome and it gave us the confidence to try more unusual offerings at the market later in our trip. Yoon was super informative and gave great suggestions of other things to check out while in Korea. Definitely a must book while in Seoul!
    Juno was a great tour...
    Benjamin_P, Nov 2025
    Juno was a great tour guide. The tour was a good introduction to Korean markets on our first day in town.
    A “Must Do”Tour
    Sasha_Z, Nov 2025
    My daughter is studying in Seoul and I am visiting. This was a wonderful way to experience Seoul’s foods together. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. We tried such a fun variety of foods, experienced foods “as seen on Netflix” and made new friends.
    Amazing tour!
    Colin_Q, Nov 2025
    Great food, friends, and time spent with Jacob! Various foods and options from a hard to find market.
    Excellent tasting tour with Rocky
    Hadas_S, Nov 2025
    Great tasting market tour with an incredible guide - Rocky. He has a lot of knowledge, perfect and clear English, good humour - perfect! We tasted a large variety of meals and drinks and even got instruction for their preparation
    Fun taste of Korea
    Amy_W, Nov 2025
    This was a great look into Korean food! Our guide Roxy was very informative and made Us feel comfortable. I am a picky Eater and went into it knowing I probably wouldn’t like some of it and that’s ok! The things we love about food tours is getting to try things in the area. I would reccomend this if you are open to trying new things
    Fun experience ...
