We had such a great time on our food tour with Virginia. She was friendly, fun, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. She took us around to try so much delicious food, and it was such a lovely way to explore. Definitely recommend!

We’re so happy you had a great time with Virginia! Her energy and love for Seoul really make the whole experience come alive.
If your travels take you elsewhere, keep the food adventures going with us — we’d love to welcome you in cities like Tokyo, Istanbul, or Paris!

This tour is a fabulous way to taste several types of traditional Korean food in a fun setting. Be aware - yhe market is crowded with tourists and Koreans (all vying for bench seats at one of the food stalls), but that adds to the high energy atmosphere. I appreciated that the tour was 1 stop and not an off-and-on bus experience. Virginia, our guide, was fantastic - knowledgeable about Korea (and Japan; she has a Masters in Asian Studies) and comes from the heel of Italy. She was very kind and patient with us and the stall owners, who can get feisty if you want to order a dish to share. Great way to experience the market!

Thank you so much for this detailed review — this is exactly the experience we aim to create.
Gwangjang Market is indeed lively and full of energy, and we’re glad you embraced that atmosphere as part of the experience. It’s one of the reasons we chose this format — staying within the market allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the local food culture rather than moving between disconnected stops.
We’re especially happy to hear how much you enjoyed your time with Virginia. She truly brings a unique perspective to the tour, and your kind words about her knowledge and personality mean a lot to us.
Foodprint Tours runs in cities around the world — we’d love to host you again on your next trip.
