Seoul Markets - Private Tour

Join me on a unique adventure through Seoul’s most fascinating markets. We’ll begin at Gyeongdong Market, a bustling maze of stalls where locals shop for produce, seafood, herbs, and traditional ingredients. This is Korea’s largest traditional market, and it offers a sensory experience unlike any other. Our journey continues to Dongmyo Flea Market, the place for hidden vintage finds. From military jackets and vinyl records to cassette players and old coins, this market is messy, nostalgic, and full of surprises. Finally, we’ll wrap up at Gwangjang Market, Seoul’s most iconic food market. While it attracts many visitors, it remains a must-see for its street food stalls. With my help, you’ll navigate like a local and try specialties such as bindaetteok (mung bean pancake), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), or mayak gimbap (mini seaweed rice rolls).
