Tour description
Seoul is best explored through its culinary flavors, and on this walking tour, a knowledgeable local foodie guide will take you through markets, food streets, and traditional food culture that shape everyday life here.

You will walk through the central market among produce and spice stalls, discover where locals buy bread, cheese, and sweets, and learn about the foods and drinks that give Seoul its distinctive character. Along the way, your guide will share the history of Korean cuisine and the finest local specialties for you to enjoy. Delicious and deeply local, this is Seoul through the lens of food.
