Small group food tour…great fun. - This was a really great tour and a nice way to walk around Seoul and have some really good food. I went solo but everyone on the tour was friendly and welcoming.

Great food tour - First of all, too many signed up for our tour so two tour guides were assigned. The result was a group of 6 for us. Very nice. Jia was our tour guide. She is a chef instructor, which makes her particularly knowledgeable of food quality and ingredients. Jia was truly delightful. If you choose this tour, bring an appetite. Our entire group was more than fulfilled with a wide sampling of traditional Korean dishes and beverages. We also walked a bit which was welcomed.

Lovely dining tour - Such a nice dining tour, I would definitely recommend it! The hosts were super friendly, accomodating (to my older mom) and relaxed while they led us through the busy narrow alleys of Insadong and Ikseon-dong. We tried new foods, drinks and made new friends! The evening left us satisfied and craving for more Korean food!

The best part of the tour... - The best part of the tour was the graciousness, knowledge and enthusiasm of Jin Choi, the CEO of the company and our tour guide.

Wonderful evening adventure - We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Jai. We explored little alley ways we would never have been brave enough to go down on our own and started our evening in a traditional ‘after work’ hangout. Jai took us to more hidden gems and gave us lots of insight into Korean culture as we walked through the instagram worthy streets of Insadong. We also picked up recommendations for places to try in future and I hope to do one of her cooking classes next time we come to Seoul.

Why were Korean chop sticks made of silver? - After reading the La Jolla Mum blog I booked this experience expecting great food and an entertaining evening. Young and Da made the evening much more than that. We went to quirky venues to enjoy authentic Korean food and drinks. We certainly wouldn’t have found these venues on our own. We were part of a big group - but this certainly didn’t impact on our enjoyment. Having a son in Australia of approximately Young’s age, we exchanged ideas on life for his generation in Korea now and in Australia - something that doesn’t usually come with an evening of eating and drinking with new acquaintances. Da was a special treat too - with such a good sense of humour. Of course I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys food. The interesting and entertaining guides were such a bonus. As for my introductory heading...well you will have to take this food tour to find out!

Enjoyable couple's night out with guide - My wife and I had a great time with our host Lynn. She was a gracious, friendly, intelligent, and warm host. She provided us a so many great insights into Korean culture and cuisine. We only had a limited time in Seoul, so this was a great opportunity for us to eat some great food, and be exposed to the Korean food scene. Had sooo much good food and drink - it was delicious! Thank you O'ngo and Lynn!

Great food and meeting new people - We stopped at 4 places... Dumpling restaurant, Korean BBQ, ice cream, and finished at the market for Korean pancakes. Food was great and you get to walk through different neighborhoods. Enjoyed getting to meet people from all over the world in the group!
