Our guide was Gina. She was great, very enthusiastic, and knowledgable. We had multiple stops with multiple food items for tasting at each one. There were many options for those who were super adventurous to try different foods and those that weren’t like myself. The group size was 12 people which was a perfect maximum. It allowed us to have sufficient quantities of everything to share around, while still allowing everyone to try everything if they wanted to. We never felt rushed to move on. We would definitely recommend this tour if you want to try some real Korean food.
It was lovely to have you with us. Thank you for making Secret Food Tours part of your visit and for sharing your thoughts afterward. We hope to host you again!
Jae was an absolutely splendid guide. His eloquent delivery and wonderful knowledge gave us a thoroughly enjoyable insight into Korean cuisine. We had a very enjoyable evening in his company rounded off with a fabulous cup of tea in a beautiful setting.

I had a fantastic time on this food tour! Giwook was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information about both the food and Seoul. It was the perfect introduction to Seoul’s food culture, and we left with a much better understanding of the city’s history and cuisine. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Giwook as your guide!
