Mangwon-Markt: Kulinarische Tour mit Einheimischen – preiswertes Essen für ein ausgefallenes Festmahl

Jay was a wonderful host and has clearly put a lot of passion into curating a balanced and authentic experience for travellers. Going on her tour at the beginning of our trip helped us avoid overly touristy markets and find good food throughout our trip as we knew what to look out for.

Jay is a very thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable guide. She is a local in the neighborhood and knows the vendors well. We learned a lot about the local cuisine and had opportunities for try a lot of delicious food! We had everything from Tteok-bokki, to Hanwoo beef, to a big bucket of fried chicken with beer (and soju). She is very prepared and carries an uncanny number of supplies in her backpack! Our whole family, including our daughters were able to enjoy the tour. Highly recommend!

Jay was a fantastic guide and the experience was delicious, informative, and pleasant. Jay came prepared with everything we needed, and we felt like celebrities going through the local Mangwon market where everyone knew her. All the recommendations were strong and we tried some delicious foods we would not have tried otherwise, like the kimchi pancakes. The hanwoo 1++ was otherworldly and cooked to perfection by Jay. Would definitely recommend.

If you’re looking at reviews for this tour, please go ahead and book. Jay made our stay in Seoul so worthwhile by hosting us on this tour. She was incredibly knowledge, spoke brilliant English and most importantly - knew everything there was to know about South Korea and their food. Great to meet another foodie who is so passionate about her country and her delicacies. I’ve been on a lot of tours across lots of countries - and Jay is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. Thank you 🙏 from your favourite Geordies!! 🐦‍⬛

Fantastic food tour with Jay! She showed us great local food and shared lots of insights about Korean culture. Highly recommended.

This was one of the highlights of our time in Seoul! Jay is informative, friendly, and thought of everything to make the experience wonderful. Every bite was delicious and we loved the area around the market and the market itself. Would highly recommend!

Jay was a wonderful guide with many interesting anecdotes, who led us on a great tour full of good food. We really enjoyed the small group vibe and just had a great time overall.

We had such a wonderful evening exploring with Jay. She was lovely from start to finish, thoroughly answering our questions and sharing the beauty of Korean food. We highly recommend this experience with her - the market is smaller than others and the personal service the vendors provide her made all the difference. We would do it again!

This was easily one of the best food tours my partner and I have been on (and we have been on a few). Jay was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and prepared an itinerary which allowed us to try a wide variety of Korean dishes. We were so full by the end of the tour (so make sure you don’t eat beforehand) and we felt like we gained a deeper understanding of Korean food and found some new things we may never have eaten ourselves. Particularly the Mangwon market was very cool, not touristy or over-crowded with lots of amazing food. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, so far a real highlight of our trip to Seoul. Also, Jay has excellent English which really helped with the tour.

Jay is a thoughtful, knowledgeable and friendly guide. The stops on this tour give you the full spectrum of Korean street food from fried chicken to tteobokki and gimbap. Great way to learn about Korean culture and sample some wonderful food along the way.
