Make this your first trip in Seoul! - This was my favorite tour I did in Seoul and I wish we would have started with this one to get a better lay of the city, understand Korean history and culture, and know what food tour try. Enoch was SO amazing with my mother and me with explaining everything and making us feel welcome to the city! I can not recommend this tour or him enough! Do bring your walking shoes, it’s a lot of walking in the city, I think close to 10,000 steps!

First tour you should do in Seoul! - MUST do when you first come to Seoul! Enoch was the best tour guide and made my mother and I feel comfortable and welcomed. I learned so much about Korean history, food, and culture. The food tour at the market is like a hidden gem that I wouldn’t have found on my own. There is a decent amount of walking, so dress comfortably, but it’s needed after all the good food we ate!

This is the best tour I’ve done in SK - This might just be the best tour I’ve been on in South Korea. It was very varied and interesting. I was lucky enough to have a fantastic tour guide, Katie, who was fun and energetic, but very knowledgeable and the stories she told about Changgyeonggung Palace were very interesting. Onto food tastings after the Palace, which ranged from octopus that is still moving, to raw beef, to pancakes with pork and much more at a restaurant, then we tried dumplings and donuts at the market which were fantastic. It I had enough food that I didn’t need any more for dinner. The walk through Ikseon-dong was interesting and to Jogyesa Temple was a nice way to end the night. We battled heavy rain the whole night, I got back to the hotel soaked, but I was very happy. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. A word of warning to those with walking issues….its mostly flat, but there is a lot of walking on this tour, so take that into consideration.

A must do tour in Seoul - Absolutely incredible night tour! Janice was an outstanding guide - incredibly knowledgeable about Korean culture, architecture and food, plus she was fun and hilarious throughout the evening. My friend and I were constantly entertained while learning fascinating details and stories of temples and amazing street food of Gwangjang market. The night views of Changgyeong Palace and Jogyesa Temple were breathtaking, and the best food experience was unforgettable. This tour combines culture, history and cuisine. You got to cut lines at Gwangjang market with Janice since she has local knowledge. Although it requires a lot of walking, we learned so much and had an absolute blast. I highly recommend this magical Seoul adventure!

Great tour for all!! - Wow! What a learning experience! We visited a palace, the oldest market in S. Korea and a temple and our guide Mia taught us so much at each stop. We learned not only history and culture but also customs and practical tips about eating Korean food. Fantastic!!!

Very fast highlights tour - The explanations at the historical sites were very good and the guide, Janice, was very nice too. However, thr tour felt very rushed at points such as walking through the market. We were running past stalls and couldn't look at anything. It was the same when showing a nice area where there were many jnteresting restaurants. Not that we needed to discuss it much but we were speedwalking by. I couldn't even get the name of places I was interested in. Perhaps it was too much to pack in to 4 hours. If you are very interested in the Korean market experience I would find a different tour. This is good for a little history and a little bit of food exposure.
