“Great History and Great Food!”
Full disclosure, I was on the Seoullo 7017: Namdaemun & Myeongdong Tasting Tour but I feel confident that any of Veronica’s tours would be worth while. When traveling as a foreigner it’s easy to feel like a commodity and removed from the culture. Having Veronica as a guide makes you feel immersed. We walked through Namdaemun market and visited stalled and restaurants I never would have on my own. She even made the popular Myeongdong area feel special by sharing a intimate histories of the area. While I love food and I love the experience of different cultures I can honestly say that my favorite part of this tour was being lead by a guide who seriously loves her city. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience to have visited the Namdaemun Market and the Myeongdong area in guidance of Veronica! Her tours are the greatest choice to feel the city like a local. Highly recommended to all!

Great tour (Seoullo 7017: Namdaemun Market & Myeongdong Tasting Tour) and food. I learned a lot about Korean’s history. Veronica explained the different types of food and their influence from other cultures. I enjoyed the authentic food at the first stall and the double fried chicken with a cold beer at another place, and my daughter enjoyed the ramdon. I highly recommend this tour!
