Join one of our hosts to eat your way around Seoul, stopping off at the places where locals really eat. Try dishes like kalguksu, a soup made of hand made noodles and anchovy-based broth, garlic bomb chicken stew and mandu (dumplings). Visit a sikdang (local restaurant) or a local Korean barbeque restaurant with no tourist in sight! You might stand out a little, but it's worth it for the food!

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
