Would definitely... - Would definitely recommend this! We had a bunch of korean food - some of which I would never have tried on my own.
Suha was also amazing, she took our requests into consideration. Took us to areas that are not as popular for tourists but have amazing food / cafe options. Had a bit of a walk too along a beautiful stream going from one place to another.
Amazing tour, overall!

Good Tour to Experience a Local Area - An interesting tour exploring a market that's popular with Korean locals, giving it an authentic feel, as well as a stroll around the local area to see things outside the market as well. A good sampling of foods, from basics up to a couple rather exotic things, which made it a good way to start out for anyone new to Korean foods. Suha was a very good guide, friendly and informative, and very good English. This was a very enjoyable tour.

Great Guide and Tour - This was a great tour. The variety of food was very diverse and authentic Korean. We had mung bean cake, live octopus, Korean fried chicken, dumplings. Fried doughnuts and more. It was a good tasting. We also visited 3 different places and went to a ramen convenience store and lastly had soft ice cream. Our guide Suha was friendly and spoke English very well. I would recommend this tour.

Suha tours the markets for delicious food - Unlike a previous Seoul food tour I've done, this one was so much better because it focused on market food rather than restaurants so lots more to taste in a wide variety of stalls and (the best part) in a self-serve ramen bar that tourists were unlikely to know about. The food was diverse from challenging raw octopus to brilliant mung bean pancakes, and there was enough delicious variety to work around most food allergies. Suha quickly bonded the group wit her enthusiasm, approachability and knowledge. Highly, highly recommended.

Great way to try local foods - The tour was a great way to try a lot of different foods while in Korea, especially if you don’t speak Korean. We wouldn’t have been able to get this type of variety on our own. It was also nice that Suha gave us background and history of the foods and areas that we visited.

Must do tour in Seoul - Suha was an amazing host and guide. The food in the markets was so tasty and we loved seeing all the different shops and cafes in Ikseon Hanok. We think the Kimchi dumplings and honey pancakes were our favourite. Suha also provided great information about all the food, its history and Korean history and culture. We recommend this tour to everyone visiting Seoul. It’s the best introduction to the city and the local food.

Great night tour of the Seoul food scene! - Awesome tour through the food market and the nearby neighborhoods. Our guide Suha was very friendly and took care of all the ordering and payment at each stop.
Some other food tours have the members of the tour pay at each stop which sounds like it could be complicated. This tour was SUPER EASY because the cost of the food is INCLUDED in the tour cost, so no time was wasted collecting money to pay at each stop!
Would recommend to anyone wanting to try some different food, drinks, and treats in Seoul!
