Experience Details

THIS TOUR IS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER TOURS! I focus on food and drinks. The main focus is drinking at each spot while we eat some great food. I provide 5 hour tours. I will be taking you around the neighborhoods that have the best food in Seoul, HANDS DOWN! There are tiny alleys that even locals don't know about! I have taken many people around here including my native Korean friends and they will agree that it is the best of the best! Just make sure to bring a huge appetite as we will be trying a ton of dishes!


I do not take you to places that you will be able to find on google or are commercialized. I take you to places you would typically not be able to go to on your own.


If you have dietary restrictions, please don't book or contact me first. There aren't many non-meat options.


The food and drinks are NOT included in the price of the tour. Everything is cheap and you will split the cost with the other people in the group. It gives you more flexibility.


This tour is NOT for kids.

The man is a chef and a sommelier I believe…. So a lot to learn and eat. A little pricey but then again when will you be back in Seoul?
