In this class, our focus is on cooking, plating, and enjoying a full Korean meal — the way it's truly meant to be shared. You'll cook in a calm, well-equipped kitchen inspired by traditional Hanok architecture. Every guest prepares their own dishes using seasonal vegetables and fermented pastes like doenjang and gochujang, some of which are brought directly from the chef’s hometown. The menu is thoughtfully designed to cover a balanced, beautiful table setting — from banchan to soup and main dish — all made by you. Rather than spending time outside, we give that time to real cooking and the joy of creating something by hand. We don’t run commercial market tours, but if you're curious, we're happy to share a few trusted, local markets that offer a more authentic experience. This is not a food tour. It’s a genuine Korean cooking journey.

What are people saying about Seoul

Richard_L, Oct 2026

Living History

Excellent and very informative tour. Highlights the lives of one people. Physically demanding but not a requirement to participate in all activities. A lot obviously depends on your guide. We were lucky to have Joo Ee as ours. She has done the tour many times and had every facet well researched. She was also very well organized and anticipated potential issues. Would highly recommend

This was such a great tour! We loved the food, our host, and the fun, engaging way he shared the history of this amazing market. It was a fantastic way to experience Korean culture through food, learn about local traditions, and connect with the heart of the market. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

Great and Convenient.

Overall a great experience. Car was very clean and spacious. I booked the airport transfer just about 6 hours before we arrived in Seoul and was still able to get a booking. The driver Whatsapped me details and was very easy to communicate with. The car ride was very relaxing.

Charles!! 🫶🏻

Charles did an exemplary job on our tour. He was knowledgeable about both North and South Korea as well as events leading up to the creation of the DMZ. His passion to teach others shined through his commentary and organized speaking points. Would highly recommend any tour with Charles.

Great and deep glance at the history of Korean War

Great tour, intense in a good way possible, so you can see and hear different sides of the one very sad story of Korean War. Our tour guide Ray definitely was a star of this journey, who light up mood and provided deep glance into the history. We might fell asleep at our way back, but consider this as a sign of having a good time and early start😄💗

If you get Tiger for your guide, you will have a fabulous day!

The key to any successful guided tour is having the right guide and Tiger was the best tour guide we have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced, and professional. He is serious about his tour but has a good sense of humor. He made our DMZ tour experience wonderful. He shared his personal story in the military and gave us a detailed history and education and made it fun. We can’t say enough about Tiger. If we could give him ten stars, we would!

Michelle_N, Oct 2026

Exceptional tour in Korea

Patrick was excellent on this tour. Great at keeping a large group of 44 together - ensuring we visited every sight on time and allowing enough time to take in all the sights. Really enjoyed getting out of the city and seeing the beautiful countryside and mountains. Patrick was funny and made this really memorable, it’s a hard job but he made it look effortless. We had a lot of time away from the group as well so you can explore on your own. It was just perfect. I’d recommend this tour to anyone.

Karalynn_D, Oct 2026

I had a wonderful time...

I had a wonderful time during the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The half day was perfect and allowed for time spent elsewhere before connecting at 1:30. The drop off point is Gwangjang Market and it's just that a drop off. Ok with it, just mentioning it, so there's no expectation of a guided tour around the market.

Thank you Lizzie!

We booked this tour late night day before the tour and they had flawless coordination with us in the early morning. Loved this tour, Lizzie was an amazing upbeat tour guide and how she handled so many people was incredible. An incredible day in Seoul! Lots of walking so make sure you bring some comfy shoes, but everything makes it well worth it :)

Barden Trio

What an amazing experience and so glad we did this one. AJ was a brilliant guide, engaging, informative and fun. Avoid the weekends if you can as it was very busy which meant more queuing and less free time to look around. It is an idea to take food and/or snacks with you, as the food options are limited and we did not have time to get anything.

Great Tour with Hee Soo

This trip was very well run. We covered a lot of ground with Hee Soo as our guide. She was patient, knowledgeable and helpful. We had a great time with her. The palaces were beautiful and so full of history. I would recommend this tour , especially with Hee Soo. She also kindly helped me find my way to my hotel using the subway. She was very kind.
