Breaking Bap is a meat-lover's food tour through the heart of Seoul, designed to give you the greatest hits of Korean food. The only tour that gives you all the five core food groups: chicken, pork, beef, munchies, and alcohol. A very meaty experience perfect for picky eaters and adventurous eaters alike. 밥 (Bap) is the Korean word for rice, and by extension, food itself (e.g. Koreans ask "have you eaten bap?" as one of the first questions they ask when checking on you because in the past when the country was poor, it wasn't a given). It lives inside many dishes you know: 비빔밥 (bibimbap which means "mixed" rice), 김밥 (gimbap which means "dried seaweed" rice). Koreans historically didn't eat bread, so “breaking bread” was never their ritual. Sharing bap was. This tour is our version of that. Your guide is an authentic Korean fluent in both English and Korean, someone who grew up eating this food and knows exactly how to unlock the full experience of eating in Seoul. Let's break bap!

This tour was great...

This tour was great because it combined historical sites with tasting the traditional food. Our guide (Landy) was friendly, knowledgeable, and cared about her guests. She told us about the history of Korean kings when we visited the castle and made sure everyone tasted the food they wanted to taste at the market. It was fun to see the night market and the transfer with car between sites was very helpful.

It's really hard to describe how large these palaces are. The pictures don't do them justice, and getting to experience a changing of the guard was an added bonus. The temple was large and full of colored lanterns, adding to its spectacular decor. We also had an informative lecture about the history and benefits of ginseng, and a fun shopping time to end our tour. Good day in Seoul.

Drinking and Eating through the Alleys of Seoul

Best food tour in Seoul!!! A must try!

We had a fantastic food tour with Mike and would highly recommend both him and this tour to anyone visiting Seoul! Mike took us to hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own, and every single food and drink we tried was absolutely delicious. Beyond the amazing food, he did a wonderful job teaching us about the history behind certain dishes and sharing interesting information about the neighborhoods we explored, which made the experience even more meaningful. He was also incredibly thoughtful throughout the tour—always making sure to grab water in addition to the alcoholic drinks and consistently pointing out bathroom locations, which was greatly appreciated during a long evening of eating and walking. One thing that really stood out was how authentic the experience felt. We passed several other food tours that seemed to stay exclusively in the touristy areas, and it made us even more grateful that we chose Mike’s tour instead. If you’re looking for a food tour that goes beyond the typical tourist experience and gives you a genuine taste of Seoul, don’t hesitate to book with Mike. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Mike also made himself available for us to text throughout our stay with questions we had which was so nice to have a local as a resource!

Eva is the best!

Absolutely a 10/10 experience! Me and my bf were in korea for a 24 hour layover. We got super lucky and ended up having a private tour with just us 2! Our tour guide Eva was an absolutely ray of sunshine! She taught us many things about Korea throughout the tour and even let us customize it to spend more time in the market, which we were especially excited for! She listened to what we liked and gave us great recommendations for shopping . On top of everything she even surprised us with donuts at the market where the line was super long so we wouldn’t have to spend our time waiting ourselves! It felt like she was my best friend and not a total stranger I had just met a few hours earlier. Super excited to come back to Korea in the future and explore more places with Eva.

My brother and I had a wonderful experience learning how to cook authentic Korean food with Chef Minseon! She was so patient (especially consider we got lost trying to find her shop) and helped us find where to meet her. She walked us through a market to pick up fresh food items and discussed the food and it’s important to Korean cultur. The food we prepared was very good and fun to prepare. I definitely recommend try this class out if you can!
