Great veggie tour! - This tour with Chef Yie was great! He was very knowledgable about the ingredients of each dish in the market and has clearly done a lot of research to put this tour together. We ate a wide variety of delicious food and had a lot of fun!

Wonderful tour for groups with vegetarians - Wonderful market tour with stories about the vendors. Also includes a tour of the adjacent fabric market. Perfect for vegetarian and vegan diets because the guide knows which vendors make foods without meat or fish sauce. Two members of our family do not eat meat so this was a great way to experience traditional Korean food.

100% Recommend! - I can’t recommend this tour enough - Chef Yie was super responsive and was able to take my gluten-free request under consideration and I was able to have a full tour! Navigating Korean food while being gluten free is difficult and now I know which foods are safe for me to eat! Chef Yie was really fun and incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the market - it was worth every penny and I will be recommending him to any of my friends who visit South Korea and will definitely come back for round two if I’m in Seoul again!

So much delicious food! - Chef Yie was so kind and accommodating to us, we had a lovely time with him. Each dish on the tour complimented the other, and hearing Yie’s description of the foods and their relevance in Korean culture made this such a memorable experience for us. Come hungry!

A wonderful experience - It is not the easiest task to find vegetarian/vegan restaurants in Seoul, so this tour was such a welcome opportunity. Chef Yie was an attentive, knowledgeable tour guide about many aspects of the market as well as introducing us to delicious food and drink. A wonderful and memorable tour, especially for vegetarian/vegans.

True K food for vegos! - Navigating local Korean food as a vegetarian non-Korean speaker is tough! Never fear, Chef Yie will come to the rescue. We experienced many different Korean flavours, all top quality, and learned more about Korean culture. We left with (very) full bellies and some tips for our Korean vegetation adventure. Thanks Chef Yie, we would have missed out on the true Korean food experience without you.

Good fun and excellent food - Chef Yie was great, so informative and easy to chat to. We tried several vegan dishes including yummy desserts which we really enjoyed and only sorry we coudn't eat them all but we were so full. The Soju was good too. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending him. A really good start to our holiday.

Must do tour for vegetarians in Seoul - Vegetarian food can be hard to find in Seoul and, so, Chef Yie was a gem! The tour took us to the stalls with some of the best vegetarian food we had is Seoul! Come hungry because there was so much food!
