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

Fun and thoughtful! - Sanghee (Priscilla) was so fun and thoughtful! She found us some great food spots for a family! And we had dietary issues. The kids have peanut/nut allergy, chocolate aversion, and husband does not eat seafood. I was worried how she was going to pull this off with a family like mine with all the dietary restrictions, but she did! Not only did she do an amazing job but she is so pleasant and fun to hang out with, it felt like a family member we were visiting with. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Julian is awesome! - We thoroughly enjoyed our street food tour and got to try food we would ordinarily never have found/ ordered - furthermore, Julian’s tour included so much more than food - we took in some key sights and learned some history on the way. Finally - we booked this tour as we needed to cater for specific diet requirements - which Julian navigated for us! Cannot recommend this tour enough! Thank you again Julian - it was an absolute pleasure meeting you!

Great food tour in Seoul! - The 10 Tastings of Seoul (Private food tour 03 Sep 2024) My husband, 18-year-old daughter and I booked the private food tour with Sanghee (Priscilla). Priscilla was friendly, engaging and passionate about food. We experienced a variety of delicious street food and specialist food from small restaurants tucked in alleyways which we would never have found ourselves! The tour ended with coffee in an interesting old building, which was a former house. Thank you, Priscilla for a great foody experience!

Family food tour - Amazing food tour with Sanghee! Highly recons using the With Local site for tours we always have a great experience & the food is always very authentic. We were the only westerners in the places we went to so that’s when you know it’s local!

Yummy food - Family of 5. 16-89 year old. Do not eat anything before this tour. They give you massive amount of delicious food. Julian took us to places we missed when we were on our own just the day before. Wear comfortable shoes. A lot of walking. This tour takes place rain or shine. You will not need to eat for the rest of the day. Enjoy.

Fun and Delicious! - My brother and me enjoyed a private food tour with Julian, and it was a superb experience! Julian's deep knowledge of Korean cuisine, local eateries and history of Seoul made the tour both informative and delicious. He guided us through a couple of vibrant markets, explaining the history and ingredients of each dish we tried. Julian's friendly and engaging personality made the tour enjoyable along with providing a good historical perspective of Korea and its transformation over the past 30 years. If you're a food lover looking to explore Seoul's culinary scene and learn more about this amazing country, a tour with Julian is a must! Highly recommended!

The Best Experience - I highly recommend this tour…it was the best way to kick off our vacation in Seoul! Sanghee provided wonderful knowledge and conversations, in addition to introducing us to a variety of delicious Korean food and drinks! I’m so glad we didn’t miss out on this experience! Thank you, Sanghee!

Worst experience - Very disappointed. We were charges almost $400 for the tour. It was supposed to be a food tour, but the guide took us to Tongin Market instead of Namdaemun market, gave us coupons worth not more than $30 and asked us to select the food we would like from the market. No explanation about the food, taste of the food, no recommendations. It was not a food tour at all, it felt more like a guide taking us to a market and asking us to eat whatever we like. Later as per the itinerary, there is supposed to take us to 2nd place for soup, but we were just told about the place and were not taken inside. We even asked for a partial refund as the itinerary was not followed at all. Worst experience ever
