ソウルの路地での飲食

Great small group fun food tour; Mike knew all the best restaurants and drink places and took us to some different street food places that we might not have tried if were were on our own.

By far the best event we had in Seoul. Mike is a true professional and massively knowledgeable about the market, makgeolli, soju, and the Korean culinary scene at large.

This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience and I would do it again without a doubt. We opted for the tour to take place on the first day of our trip to Seoul, and it was a great intro into the best of the best Korea has to offer, and helped us get rid of so much of the FOMO one has to make sure you try everything in Korea. Mike was the best! Super knowledgeable, nice, and accommodating to my wife who doesn't eat meat. The group size is perfect size and the tour just continues and you don't want it to stop! We are a family of foodies who have travelled the world, and I recommend Mike with a full stomach :)

Mike was very great! All of the spots picked for the group were well though out trying a mix of different foods and suggestions for wine pairing. It was just the right amount of food. Highly recommend 🌟

Best food tour I have done. Mike really knows about the different dishes and history of the market, foods and alcohol. Also the quality of the food was outstanding and we tried a lot of dishes. Really recommend it!!!

We met Mike at Gwangjang Market, and he took us past the tourist traps straight to unique local stalls we wouldn't have found on our own. We tasted amazing dishes like kimbap, Korean beef tartare, and mung bean pancakes, while Mike shared fascinating stories and answered all our questions. Next, we had a detailed Korean alcohol tasting, trying different types of makgeolli and soju with sommelier-level explanations. We then explored the Euljiro alleys, ate at a hidden local restaurant, and finished the night with fried chicken and beer on a trendy rooftop. It was a fun, delicious evening with great conversations with travelers from all over the world. I highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I visited Korea for the first time and we were overwhelmed with where to start or what to do. We were so lucky to have booked Mike for our food tour. He brought us to places where the locals go and he exposed us to food and drinks that we would have never tried. He was very attentive to everyone’s needs and he was very detailed when answering everyone’s questions. He really knows what he’s talking about when it comes to food and drinks! Mike was so awesome that we booked him for a private tour and that was way better than the first because he catered to our every need. Either way, you’ll have a great time with Mike! And he went above and beyond when my husband left some personal items at the hotel. We asked Mike if he could assist us by calling the hotel to see if they were able to mail us his items. Not only did Mike call the hotel, but he mailed our items to us. He’s is not only a great guide but also very kind. Our only regret was that we wished we booked him at the start of our trip because we would’ve hired him to take us to other places in Seoul. So if you want to have a great time in Korea, hire Mike. You won’t regret it!

We had a fantastic food tour with Mike and would highly recommend both him and this tour to anyone visiting Seoul! Mike took us to hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own, and every single food and drink we tried was absolutely delicious. Beyond the amazing food, he did a wonderful job teaching us about the history behind certain dishes and sharing interesting information about the neighborhoods we explored, which made the experience even more meaningful. He was also incredibly thoughtful throughout the tour—always making sure to grab water in addition to the alcoholic drinks and consistently pointing out bathroom locations, which was greatly appreciated during a long evening of eating and walking. One thing that really stood out was how authentic the experience felt. We passed several other food tours that seemed to stay exclusively in the touristy areas, and it made us even more grateful that we chose Mike’s tour instead. If you’re looking for a food tour that goes beyond the typical tourist experience and gives you a genuine taste of Seoul, don’t hesitate to book with Mike. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Mike also made himself available for us to text throughout our stay with questions we had which was so nice to have a local as a resource!

Wish we had done this tour when we arrived in Seoul, but maybe, if we had, we wouldn’t have appreciated how special it was. We’ve been in South Korea for two weeks, eating a lot of food, but Mike introduced us to things we had not yet eaten and wonderfull versions of things we already had. The tour is so well paced with food and drinks. It makes it really enjoyable. On other food tours we find often you are given quick, successive foods that fill you up and it lessens your enjoyment of the experience. Mike’s knowledge of all things Korea, is incredible. We enjoyed hearing about the history and making of the alcohol that we drank and it was fabulous that we got taste so many different varieties. We had the most wonderful group which enhance the whole evening. Now I know why this tour is so well rated.. I would definitely recommend this tour to people that really want to explore Korean food and alcohol! We give it at a big, thumbs up!

Excellent, expert tour of the market and some very unique places in the area. Highly recommend this tour if you want something special.
