Sophie is a wonderful tour guide. Her ebullient manner and deep knowledge of the Noriyangjin Seafood Market and Korean culture added immensely to our enjoyment of the visit. Due to her expertise, we selected a fine menu of seafood items for the restaurant to cook for our lunch. The tour is normally done in the evening, but fit our schedule better and we are grateful that the change could be made. Sophie answered all our questions and moved us along briskly to see all facets of the seafood market. Highly recommend her for any tours.
Sophie was a fantastic guide, taking us through the market stalls and swatting away over eager vendors for us. We ended with a delicious meal above the fish markets
Giving this 3 stars because this isn't really a "food tour," a more accurate title would be market tour with dinner. You collect your own food from the market and then a restaurant prepares it for you and you eat a 2-hr sit-down dinner with your guide. It was a delicious dinner and interesting seeing the market, but not what we expected due to the title.
