This is a must do tour for anyone new to South Korea. We did it a week in but recommend doing it as soon as possible to your arrival as it helps you to become familiar with Korean food and even the culture. The places we went were local and the food was made on site at each place meaning nothing store bought and house recipes were used. I'm a very picky eater and yet I ate everything on this tour and it was all delicious. _br/_ Our guide Brad was a very informative, knowledgeable and friendly host that made the night fun. We really enjoyed the casual vibe and ease of the tour as well as the other tour guests. You won't regret doing this tour.

This tour was amazing! I have recommended to a number of people travelling to Seoul. The food was varied and was super tasty. The drinking games were also fun. A great insight into the culture of South Korea.

This food tour was fantastic. Such great food and a really wonderful, engaging, informative, friendly guide. Discovered a lot of gems and learned a bunch about Korean food and culture. A great way to spend an evening in Seoul. Highly recommend.

This is such a nice tour. We have been to 4 local restaurants with expert local guide who is so friendly and knowledgeable and take care each of us. I was travel alone in Seoul, so, it's quite nice to join such kind of tour or I can't enjoy all the feast by myself. Highly recommended!!

This tour was a bit lackluster. Our guide marched very briskly to each restaurant without even checking to see if the whole group was keeping up. At each restaurant, the guide would say a few sentences about the food we were eating and then disappear to play on her phone while we ate. There was very little explanation given about each kind of food we ate at each different restaurant. The last stop was a tea house were we had a tea that they asked us to share with one person. I do not think the tour was worth its cost, aside from being led to each restaurant and not having to search for them by myself.

Complete waste of money.... I was told to meet at their building at 5:45 and when I got there nobody was there and the building was dark. I waited 10 minutes and was getting ready to leave and she showed up. She basically dumped us off at 5 or so places, never explained anything and walked so fast and so far in front of us there was no way for her to know if we were behind her or not. Skip it.

Our guide, Dayeun (she went by Da), was very friendly and informative. Our tour group was small, just 5 of us, and we had a wonderful time exploring. All the stops were great, and the food was delicious. If there is ever an advanced tour, more of the small food stands would be awesome. Great tour!

Went to this tour back in 2014 but still remember how great it was despite the pouring rain that day.

JS was an excellent tour guide. We were a slightly larger group 11 total because we added 1 extra person according to him but he made sure everyone felt welcome and not left out. Our tour consisted of 3 groups: our group Filipinos with an American and a German with originally 6 people, that turned into 7, a group of 2 Taiwanese and German from Taiwan, and another group of 1 Hawaiian from LA. We were all talking to each other and learning about our divergent backgrounds by the 1st restaurant. What a great way to meet new people, over food and drinks.

We booked this trip as a result of researching things to do in Seoul before our city visit for the first time. We had a fabulous time, our guide 'K' was polite and knowledgeable. 4 other British people were on the trip so we had a nice size group and everyone was there to have fun. K chose 4 different restaurants for us to visit with 4 very different types of food and alcohol. All within walking distance in places that you would only go if someone like K took you. The food was fabulous and surprising. This is a must do trip on your first night in Seoul. If we went back, we would do it again. Thank you K

This tour was excellent! The food choices were deliciousz Our tour guide, JS, did a terrific job choosing places to eat we would not find on our own. We also enjoyed meeting new people on our tour. We would highly recommend!

Had a lot of fun on this tour, tried great foods and met interesting people.
Review by: David H, May 2017
This was a fantastic tour, taking in many different types of food - Korean barbecue, different types of fried chicken including the most garlic-laden dish I had ever encountered!, some excellent rice bowl dishes, mung bean pancakes, marinated raw beef. An absolute feast for the senses, smell and sight as well as taste. The Kwang Jang night market was an incredible place to finish the trip, buzzing with life and colour. The group, of half a dozen, was just the right size for this kind of tour. Strongly recommended.

4 out of 6 people (us included) left the evening food tour early - needless to say not as good as expected.
Review by: Brittany B, April 2017
This was such a fun good tour! Our group was relaxed and our guild knowledgeable. We sampled many of Seouls little secrets. Wouldn and #39;t miss this!!
Review by: Juul V, April 2017
Despite raving reviews, i found the tour very disappointing.. Our guide (forgot her name) didn and #39;t explain anything, she only talked when she was asked questions. In the okay-ish restaurants, she played with her phone. After 3 (not 4!) hours we were left outside a subway station.. No value for money!
