This is a half-day tour where you can walk through the heart of Seoul for three hours and enjoy 11 different foods. Through Seoullo 7017, a new resting place for Seoul citizens, you can imagine what Seoul looked like 500 years ago. Please stop by Namdaemun Market to feel the energy of life from the intense activities of the local merchants. Explore the diverse Korean street foods and interesting treats sold here. The harmony of warm and cold foods—such as kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup) made with anchovy broth, barley bibimbap, Busan-style tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), Eomuk, fish cakes, and the legendary hotteok (savory pancake)—will surely tantalize your taste buds. Don't forget 'Chimaek,' the combination of authentic fried chicken and beer. The crispness of Korean-style fried chicken is a taste you will never forget. Right next to the traditional market is a 21st-century department store basement food court, a space featuring a modern layout that stands out in contrast to the traditional market. Here, you can enjoy mandoo, Korean-style dumplings made with chewy dough. Before you know it, at the end of the tour, you can wrap up your trip by enjoying gelato made with seasonal fruits and ingredients from Korea, a shopping paradise, Myeongdong. It is the Korean Gourmet Hunters' signature tour, a delicious and fun experience where the three hours really fly by. This tour is a representative signature tour of Korean Gourmet Hunters, having received an Excellence Award at the 2017 Seoul Tourism Startup Contest.
