EJ was a friendly knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English. She was able to accommodate the fact that one of the group didn't eat meat and another didn't eat fish. This didn't detract from the fun experience at all. Top tip: come hungry - there's a lot to try in 90 minutes!!
Thanks to our guide Kay! He introduced us to the specialties of Korea and led us to places we would never have alone. Delicious food and a great, very sympathetic guide who took many photos of us, what more could you want.
Tour guide never showed up. The company wouldn’t answer my messages on the Viator App until I got Viator Support to reach out to the company on my behalf. There was no telephone or WhatsApp number to call them. Once they finally responded they claimed they got the day mixed up. I was already at the station with another person who was also waiting to start the tour.

We deeply regret that the guide didn’t arrive as scheduled and that our communication was not timely. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after planning your day around the tour. We have since reviewed our internal processes to prevent mix-ups like this from happening in the future, and we are working on improving our communication channels to ensure that we are more easily reachable. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to make it right and provide you with the exceptional experience you deserve in the future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Warm regards, Team SeekSeoulTravel
We had a great time on this tour & I highly recommend. Our lovely Guide answered all my daft questions and showed us places we would never have found. We ate a lot of food! The mandu ( dumpling) place was a particular highlight.
The food tour was well worth it. Our guide was excellent and we then knew what to eat for our remaining time in Seoul. Would definitely recommend.
Great trip, with some excellent food and the guides were brilliant. All of the stalls we visited provided great food and accomodated the two vegetarians in our family with no problems. Overall, would thorougly recommend.
Hello, Steve. It might have been inconvenient because it was raining and the market was under construction, but thank you so much for giving us such a good review. We were so happy that you enjoyed our tour with your children. I think we met such a lovely family. Always be happy!
K was a fantastic guide!!! He took us to places that we would have not been able to find on our own. Local places with amazing food
