What an amazing experience!
"Julian was a wonderful tour guide! He answered all of our questions and took us to great places. He also explained the significance of certain food items in Korean culture. We had a blast!"

Great time! Really authentic!
"We had a great time with Priscilla. Priscilla was really flexible and accommodating. We are really introverted and Priscilla totally put us at ease. In total we had more than 20 items and were stuffed to the brim. Many of the stalls were stalls we would never dare to try without a local. Come hungry!!!"

Great time
"Julian took us to some great local places throughout Seoul. He is very personal and gave us great knowledge of the local food, sites, and culture. He made us capture some awesome bites we might not have tried in our couple of days here."

A must do if in Seoul.
"I met Priscilla at a Metro station near Namdaemun Market and sampled a wide variety of foods from restaurants, small cafes and street stalls. I tasted many things which I would have been wary about, without her telling me about them. She was knowledgeable, funny, informative and very easy to understand. I would highly recommend her - just make sure you haven’t eaten for a few days beforehand! Her insight into Korean food was very useful in my further travels around Korea and I will definitely be cooking some of the dishes when I get home. Thanks Priscilla, hope to see you on my next trip to Seoul. "

Amazing!
"My husband and I’s food tour with Hailey was a lot of fun. A few days before the tour, she suggested meeting at a different market since the one I originally booked was closed on Sunday evenings. She was also understanding and kind with us being a little late due to delays in our taxi getting to our hotel from the train station. Hailey recommended a lot of great food to try in the market and even got us a table near where the locals were eating in a packed part of the market. She taught us a lot about Korean culture and different foods we can try during our stay in Seoul. After the tour, she also sent me a lot of her favorite restaurants to check out in the city during my stay. Hailey is really nice, down to earth, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend booking a tour with her! Thanks for everything, Hailey. :)"

Perfect day in Seoul!
"Our group had a wonderful private tour with Sanghee! We explored two contrasting markets and ate delicious food at both, including incredible Michelin * mandu, the best gimbap, tteokbokki, bingsu... and much more! She also helped us purchase T-money cards, and helped us navigate the bus and subway system. She was able to weave in historical context, stories, and cultural relevance while we walked around. She made recommendations for skin care products at an Olive Young pit stop. She helped my mom find local vendors for specific items on her wish list. She was flexible and was able to create the exact day we needed to start off our trip in Korea with the best knowledge, and feeling like we had hit many highlights, making the rest of our days in Seoul more relaxed. We highly recommend Sanghee and would happily sign up for a tour with her again!"

Market tour
"We had a great time eating various food at the market. When it started to rain we got a bus to another market for more food, then a tea house and then bingsu. It was still successful even with the rain. It was the best bingsu. I loved that we had choices of what to eat and could say what we didn’t like. "

Informative and made me feel at home
"Sanghee from the get go was always so attentive, to make sure I got the best experience whilst in Seoul. She enabled me to plan my days effectively with my short space of time. When I had the tour she was always looking after me as I had got off my flight that same day and booked my tour. The tour was incredible, lots of amazing food in homely places and a lovely chilled atmosphere during our tour. Overall, a huge credit to herself and I would highly recommend booking her if you are in Seoul in the near future! Thank you so much Sanghee for all your help, I really appreciate it! If I'm ever back in Seoul in the future I will definitely get in contact 😊✨"
