Seoul's Secret Alleys: Unforgettable Foodie & Drink Quest
Price From $85.00 per person
Lowest Price Guarantee
THIS TOUR IS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER TOURS! I focus on food and drinks. The main focus is drinking at each spot while we eat some great food. I provide 5 hour tours. I will be taking you around the neighborhoods that have the best food in Seoul, HANDS DOWN! There are tiny alleys that even locals don't know about! I have taken many people around here including my native Korean friends and they will agree that it is the best of the best! Just make sure to bring a huge appetite as we will be trying a ton of dishes! I do not take you to places that you will be able to find on google or are commercialized. I take you to places you would typically not be able to go to on your own. If you have dietary restrictions, please don't book or contact me first. There aren't many non-meat options. The food and drinks are NOT included in the price of the tour. Everything is cheap and you will split the cost with the other people in the group. It gives you more flexibility. This tour is NOT for kids.

Mike was an amazing guide! He has lots of fun knowledge on Korean food, drink, and history. I highly recommend this tour for exploring authentic street food. He also thoughtfully answered everyone’s questions, including my numerous random pop culture ones 😊

Had a great time with Mike and got to try a bunch of different things. Visited some places I would never have found on my own.

This experience is a hidden gem. We are no stranger to Korean food having grown up in LA and NY, and had already been in Seoul for a few days and had our tastes of tteokbokki, naengmyeon, mandu, pork gukbap, yangyeom gejang, bibimbap, soju, makgeolli, and many rolls of kimbap; however, we don't know the language and were hopeful to try some new eats while visiting Seoul. Mike is super chill, friendly with the local aunties, and an informed foodie. He took us around to a lot of front-facing establishments, but also many that were in the back allies that foreigners would never find or even know it is a restaurant. The evening is also well paced with some alcohol mixed in and a variety of different bites pending on the group interests, as well as bits of history of the area, markets, and the people. He is a rare breed that has lived fluidly in both Korea as well as the US and can navigate both cultures seamlessly for a comfortable yet authentic experience. Mike was also helpful for extra recs post-tour that supplied the rest of our trip in Seoul. Definitely a unique and local experience.

Mike is super knowledgeable about the market and food. He took us to the hidden gems and we tried lots of amazing food and drinks. The Korean rice wine tasting was surprisingly my favourite part. Throughout the tour he showed us cool spots and gave us the history. He also gave us lots of stellar recommendations. 100/10

Mike did a great job. Showed us around the market and then took us to places we would never go. He had extensive knowledge of all the things we ate and drank. It was a great afternoon.

I highly recommend this tour! Mike was extremely knowledgeable and even offered to take us all to karaoke afterwards. He is so kind and sent me tips after the trip for food elsewhere. The tour itself was so fun! Perfect mix of drinks and the food was so delicious and unique. Do not miss out on this trip! Thanks again Mike :)
