      Greatest food tour experience 😊

      "We had such a great experience with Juli. She is very nice and had a lot of stories about Korean food and Korean history. She made us discover really nice local Korean food we would not have been found by ourselves. Every dishes were delicious. Juli is explaining the story behind dishes, which is always so interesting. She is very open-minded and friendly, and of course very smiley 😁 I truly recommend Juli as a guide if you want a very nice food tour in Seoul. But do not forget to avoid eating before the tour cause there’s a lot of food to discover. Thank you so much Juli, wish you the best for the future. "

      Do not eat after breakfast

      "Fantastic evening with Juli. Some great little local nooks that served delicious authentic Korean food. We were both completely stuffed after the 4th dishes and were only half way there. Juli was very knowledgeable and entertaining. A really lovely introduction to Seoul and its wonderful food"

      Great food and chat

      "We really enjoyed our food tour with Juli. The food was really good and interesting, and Juli found us food that fitted our diets. We tried food and drinks that we would not have dared to try on our own. Juli was also really interesting to talk to and knows a lot about Korean history and politics. "

      Great food tasting evening with Juli!

      "Juli took us across three areas of the city to eat with an added stop at the stream walkway. She had things in mind to eat but also was happy to just buy when things caught our eye in street stalls. We had more than the promised ten things! She is a delightful person and knowledgeable about history and able to tell stories and talk about today’s culture. She even threw in a Korean lesson and gave us some candy gifts. We booked the tour on our arrival day and it gave us confidence to know we could eat local food which we found delicious ( though kimchi is still not our favourite!) Highly recommended and worth the cost. "

      An evening to remember!

      "We spent an evening with Rossi and it ended up feeling more like hanging out with a friend than a guided tour. We made special requests to explore Korean drinking customs and to try specific local foods that we were interested in. Rossi made a fantastic itinieary and really went above and beyond to make an amazing experience for us! "

      Amazing guide!

      "We had an amazing night out for drinks and snacks with Rossi. He really tailored the tour for us, it was more than what we could have hoped for! We even got to taste dishes we had been looking for but hadnt found on our own. But best of all was his company, he is really nice and the hours flew by! 100% would do it again, we will book Rossi again next time were in Seoul :)"
