Only 8 guests per tour. Book now to secure your spot!

I created this tour for my vegetarian family visiting from abroad, who struggled to figure out what they could safely eat in Seoul’s markets. I spent over a month in Gwangjang Market before my family came, checking ingredients and talking with each cook until I mapped a route for vegetarians.

Since guiding my family, I kept researching and fine-tuning the route. Every stop is now fully plant-based, so both vegetarians and vegans can join with confidence. I handle all ordering and translation, so you can simply enjoy the food and stories.

Important note: Gwangjang is a busy working market; some cross-contact may occur, and the tour is not suitable for strict gluten-free diets or severe food allergies.
