J’étais seule pour ce tour...donc communication au top avec Jae qui m’a fait dévouvrir plusieurs plats (salés et sucrés)...et aussi 2 boissons alcoolisées. Marché de street food. Jae avait des explications intéressantes sur les noms des produits, leur origine, etc. Je le recommande sans réserve.

This tour was a highlight of our trip! As non Korean speaking vegetarians it would be impossible to navigate this market and Jae curated the most delicious feast across many stalls at the market. We learned so much about traditional foods and how to eat them. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend coming hungry and ask to take some things to go if you don’t finish them. Can’t recommend this tour enough we loved it.

This tour was amazing. I honestly was feeling so intimidated navigating the food scene here as a vegetarian, but I also really wanted to get a taste of Korean food. Jae was amazing, patient, and kind. If you’re veg/vegan, I definitely recommend doing this because it’ll help you!! 100% recommend!

Jae is very knowledgeable about vegan and vegetarian food. All the food today was vegan as I was the only one on the tour. I am truly grateful for the tour, amazing food and explanations of Korean food and culture. Thank you for the language lessons too.

Great Tour! It‘s not always easy to find vegetarian food here, so this was perfect for us. Jae was great, super friendly and explained a lot about the food, the country and whatever else we wanted to know. He also gave us a lot of tips for the rest of our stay (about food locations and sightseeing locations) which were all great. Can definitely recommend!
