Winter Food Tour - My partner and I booked a private 2 person tour to experience the taste of Seoul. We initially booked on a Sunday, but Jason advised another day as most shops closed Sunday. We enjoyed our tour of the market and had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent and Jason carried the conversation through the experience. We highly recomend using Jason and will use him in the future.

Delights of simple Korean food - Enjoyed our tour with Priscilla, went into multiple places to sample lovely tasty Korean food, simple yet full of flavour. A culinary wander to multiple different types and styles of food. Completely stuffed by its completion. Would recommend for all.

Fantastic Tour - Jason was fantastic! He was easy to communicate with before the tour and enquired about any dietary restrictions I had to ensure he would be able to accomidate. He found out what kind of food I was interested in trying and went out of his way to accommodate. He was very informative about not only the food we were eating but also provided fun facts about South Korea along the way. I had an awesome time with him and he was easily the best tour guide I've had on my trip. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Amazing Experience! - Private tour with just the guide makes it more personalized. My guide was Jason and he was very friendly and helpful when I needed to find specific items at stores.

Market tour - We had a great time eating various food at the market. When it started to rain we got a bus to another market for more food, then a tea house and then bingsu. It was still successful even with the rain. It was the best bingsu. I loved that we had choices of what to eat and could say what we didn’t like

Fun and thoughtful! - Sanghee (Priscilla) was so fun and thoughtful! She found us some great food spots for a family! And we had dietary issues. The kids have peanut/nut allergy, chocolate aversion, and husband does not eat seafood. I was worried how she was going to pull this off with a family like mine with all the dietary restrictions, but she did! Not only did she do an amazing job but she is so pleasant and fun to hang out with, it felt like a family member we were visiting with. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Julian is awesome! - We thoroughly enjoyed our street food tour and got to try food we would ordinarily never have found/ ordered - furthermore, Julian’s tour included so much more than food - we took in some key sights and learned some history on the way. Finally - we booked this tour as we needed to cater for specific diet requirements - which Julian navigated for us! Cannot recommend this tour enough! Thank you again Julian - it was an absolute pleasure meeting you!

Great food tour in Seoul! - The 10 Tastings of Seoul (Private food tour 03 Sep 2024) My husband, 18-year-old daughter and I booked the private food tour with Sanghee (Priscilla). Priscilla was friendly, engaging and passionate about food. We experienced a variety of delicious street food and specialist food from small restaurants tucked in alleyways which we would never have found ourselves! The tour ended with coffee in an interesting old building, which was a former house. Thank you, Priscilla for a great foody experience!

Worst experience - Very disappointed. We were charges almost $400 for the tour. It was supposed to be a food tour, but the guide took us to Tongin Market instead of Namdaemun market, gave us coupons worth not more than $30 and asked us to select the food we would like from the market. No explanation about the food, taste of the food, no recommendations. It was not a food tour at all, it felt more like a guide taking us to a market and asking us to eat whatever we like. Later as per the itinerary, there is supposed to take us to 2nd place for soup, but we were just told about the place and were not taken inside. We even asked for a partial refund as the itinerary was not followed at all. Worst experience ever
