Absolutely fantastic tour, great me of the best of our 3 week trip. Sophie was friendly, informative and took us to places we would never have been able to find on our own. We spent the whole time talking and learned lots about life in South Korea and Seoul. Cannot recommend this tour, and Sophie in particular, more.

Among them, three are not to be missed: Foodie Alley, a stretch of vendors offering classic Korean staples and street-food favourites; Kalguksu Alley, a street comprised of restaurants specialising in hand-cut noodles and Galchi Jorim, a road dedicated to braised hairtail fish stew, a dish invented at the market.
