Worthwhile tour
Had a lovely time on this tour. Micheal was a gracious tour guide and we saw many amazing food stands and other shops at the Gwangiang Market. We even tried raw octopus! Walking along Cheonggyecheon stream was a terrific experience. It’s wonderful to see how much the vegetation has grown since we were last in Seoul 18 years ago.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a lovely time exploring Gwangjang Market and Cheonggyecheon Stream with Michael. It’s so special that you came back to Seoul after 18 years to see how much the city has grown! I’ll pass your kind words to Michael. Hope to welcome you back again!

Our guide Rachel went...
Our guide Rachel went above and beyond. We were so lost on the subway on our way there and she gave me step by step instructions on how to arrive. Then when we got there she provided some insightful info on Seoul and Korea while we enjoyed our meal. Then took a stroll along the Cheonggyechong stream while locals dipped their toes in to cool off. Lovely experience 💖
Operator response
What a beautiful review! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Rachel. We're so glad she could help you navigate the subway and show you the charm of Seoul, including that lovely stroll by Cheonggyecheon Stream. Your kind words will definitely make Rachel's day! Safe travels, and we hope to see you in Korea again! ✨

Nope
Unfortunately I think our tour guide might have been having a bad day. Took us to the market and walked us around the linen and cloth section and showed us the different food areas and said ok I’ll see you in an hour. Go forth and get some food. After that went for a walk along the stream and then said goodbye. Not exactly what I would call a “foodie walking tour”!
Don’t bother with this one.

Am accompanied walk around the market
I have been on food tours in other cities and this one was disappointing. I felt little information was given about the dishes and the market. We just had someone to accompany us to walk around the market and, while a few dishes were suggested, it felt like much of the tour was free time, buy what you want and the guide would help you. I knew we had to pay for our own dishes but didn't feel this tour was good value. Felt it was overpriced for what you got compared to other food tours where you pay a similar amount and the guide buys you a taste of many dishes. More information about food culture could have been given.

Fun with Michael
We loved our experience with Michael. Even though some things were cancelled due to the weather, Michael still managed to give us a wonderful experience and kept our spirits high in a disappointing situation! Thankyou Michael and Licet for this experience, my daughter and I will remember it forever!

Food sightseeing with Edward - very good...
The one to one guide with Edward was excellent. He was informative on the various goings on in the market which explored. His recommendations on the food side were excellent especially to a novice like me. I am very grateful for his knowledge and warmhearted nature - it made the experience more special. Thankyou Edward..

A great experience
My family and I had a great time with Sky on the food tour. He was kind, funny and met the needs of the group. Not only was he informative about the market but also knowledgeable of the history of the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend him as a tour guide. He was awesome! 5 Stars!!

Poor and waste of money
Unfortunately it was very disappointing. I could probably have done it myself without a guide. I was hoping for information about Korean food and little tasters along the way. We kinda walked through the market then went to a restaurant. No real advice or comments about the food or what was on offer. Other food tours elsewhere have been highlights of my trips. This was a real disappointment. I cannot recommend this tour
