Didn't feel the tour offered us off the beaten path or authentic experiences. The guide admitted he wasn't a foodie. Not worth the money in any way.
Hello Christopher, We’re truly sorry to hear that the experience fell short of your expectations, particularly in providing authentic, off-the-beaten-path insights and the level of food expertise you were hoping for. We’ve taken this seriously and are reviewing the experience and host match to ensure better alignment with guest expectations. Your trust means a lot to us, and we’d love the chance to make it right with a more tailored and memorable experience next time. Warm regards, Sheenah and the City Unscripted team
This is experience was all about the guide. Jay made this very memorable and we are very thankful. He explained where and what we were doing. He always asked to make sure the walk was going to be ok. Took pictures of us. Explained not only the food but the history and construction of the city.
Your review truly made our day! Jay's thoughtful approach and attention to detail clearly made for an unforgettable experience, and we’re so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for choosing City Unscripted and here's to more great adventures!
GJ did a great job showing us around and ensuring that we got to try some great food. We will do this tour again in the future.
We're thrilled to hear that GJ made your experience enjoyable and introduced you to some fantastic food. Thank you for your wonderful feedback!
We had the pleasure of getting a food tour with Andrew during a long layover in Seoul. Such a great experience! He was very accommodating to having jet lagged kids and food allergies. We were able to get some history on Korea during our drive also. Besides him being knowledgeable, he was great to be around. I highly recommend!
I'm thrilled to learn that you enjoyed your time with Andrew, and your description of the experience sounds genuinely thrilling! We appreciate you sharing your personal recommendations with fellow travelers, and a heartfelt thank you for the positive review. Your feedback holds great significance for us!

Sujeong was great. Very knowledgeable around city and food. The BBQ Korean restaurant was great and the city attractions were amazing. Sujeong also took great pictures!
Amazing!!! My Food Tour with Hans was amazing! Hans was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Hans shared with me some of the history of Seoul, which I truly enjoyed. It was wonderful walking the streets and tasting the food of the many vendors in the neighborhood. I must say I had the best Fried Chicken & Beer EVER!!!
We had a fantastic experience with Oky, our tour guide. She took us to the best places to taste the local food, local flavors, local markets and Korean BBQ. We ended with a very nice walking in the streets of Seoul. She was very well knowledge in the culture, food and palaces around Seoul and made fantastic recommendations. We had a great time with Oki and did enjoy the overall experience.
