Enjoyed Taeseong - Had a great time. We were very well fed from the beginning of the tour. We couldn’t eat all the food we were given! Taeseong was knowledgeable and taught us some Korean drinking games.

Great way to try a lot of Korean foods - Our host taesong was awesome! We went to seven different food stalls and tried so many things! He knew which vendors had the best version of each thing and got us into a couple of the popular vendors before the lines got long. We had a great time! Highly recommend!

Great good tour of Korea’s oldest market - We had a great time! Our host Taeseong was welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. He answered any questions we had and provided historical context for the foods we were eating. We went to seven different stalls and tied about 10 different foods, I lost count! Highly recommend!

Exactly What You Want in a Food Tour - Taeseong was the perfect guide! He took all of the stress out of what could be an overwhelming activity! Taeseong anticipated our needs, accommodated dietary restrictions, answered questions and shared a real love of food. He is knowledgeable, a great conversationalist and clearly enjoys his work. I can’t recommend Taeseong enough!

Excellent - We did the gastronomic tour and it was very enriching! The gastronomic tour, which was carried out with excellence and a lot of relaxation, turned into a tour with a lot of history of the country and personal stories! Highly recommended!!

Street Food Guide Excellence - Taeseong was a fantastic guide around the market. He was able to explain how each street food was made and the ingredients. Tarseong was very easy to talk to and he also explained and shared living in Seoul. The food was amazing and a large variety was shared. Would highly recommend.

Come hungry and enjoy your time with Taeseong! - Taeseong was so friendly and helpful. We were the only group on the food tour today and we really enjoyed spending time in the market with Taeseong. We learned lots of interesting things about Korea and tasted some delicious foods at places we probably wouldn’t know to try. Taeseong was also very patient with our 8 and 5 year old kids. All in all, a great afternoon and would definitely recommend!!
