Starting at Gwangjang Market, a paradise for street food, this 3-hour evening tour takes you past Seoul's representative historic sites—Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongmyo Shrine—and through the youthful district of Ikseon-dong, offering the opportunity to enjoy 10 different dishes. It is the ultimate tour program for experiencing Seoul's 24-hour nightlife. While Gwangjang Market is famous for street foods like mung bean pancakes, mini gimbap, and tteokbokki, you simply cannot miss the delicious kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup) featured in Netflix's *Food Heroin*. The Korean Gourmet Hunter guide will also uncover and introduce you to traces of the past, noting that this area was once a fabric market dealing in clothing and wedding supplies. Take a break while strolling along Cheonggyecheon Stream. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy a refreshing walk by the cool waters, cooling off before happily moving on to your next destination. As you pass Jongmyo Shrine, you will encounter a magnificent, unexpected spectacle where Seoul's previously unknown historical background overlaps with its present-day appearance. What will this place look like in 10 years? Take a moment to share a glimpse of the future of Seoul with our guide. Experience the "Chimaek" culture—enjoying Korean-style fried chicken and beer—at Jongno 3-ga, a place particularly frequented by the older generation. The owner's extraordinary success story will offer you a special sense of inspiration and the delicious taste of the chicken. Afterward, take a stroll through the adjacent alley, Ikseon-dong, as night falls, and feel the energy radiating from Seoul's youth. Enjoy traditional tea or shaved ice (bingsoo) for dessert in the summer, while admiring the lively and energetic narrow alleys and beautiful scenery to create special memories of your trip to Seoul.
