What travelers are saying
The food tour had the worst guide ever. Did not welcome us, didn't introduce herself, on arrival walked out of subway exit and just kept going without checking to see if everyone was there. Had to ask about everything that was served to us. Didn't explain any culture.
Everything was amazing! Thank you
This was a good experience, but with the large group I felt it lacked personalized attention. We did several food tours in Korea and Vietnam and found that the private experiences were far better. This tour did provide more than enough food to fill a person up, so much in fact that we often had to leave food behind, which felt wasteful. Overall, we enjoyed it but it could have been better.
