Overview

This tour offers an immersive deep dive into Gwangjang Market, Seoul’s most iconic street food destination. Instead of hopping between locations, you explore the market stall by stall, tasting dishes locals truly love — from handmade noodle soup at a stall featured on Netflix’s Street Food: Asia to crispy pancakes, spicy rice cakes, and sweet market desserts.

You’ll visit specific, time-tested vendors, watch food being prepared right in front of you, and learn the stories behind each dish from a knowledgeable local guide. With everything taking place inside the market, the experience feels lively yet relaxed, giving you time to eat, observe, and soak in the atmosphere.

This is the perfect tour for travelers who want authentic flavors, cultural context, and a memorable market experience — all in one place.
