    Nice relaxed tour. I was...

    Nice relaxed tour. I was the only one on the tour that day and I am glad they still took me for the tour. My guide Shaba was very friendly and informative. Overall it was a pleasant trip with the highlight for me being the temple and of course the Korean BBQ to end the evening.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a relaxing time and enjoyed both the temple and the Korean BBQ. We will be sure to pass your kind words on to Shaba. We are always happy to provide a great experience, even for solo travelers. We hope to welcome you back to Seoul again soon!

    This was a wonderful...

    This was a wonderful time. I was the only participant of this tour and they still made it happen, other tours I’ve booked for my week and Seoul canceled if they did not have more than one person. Min Soo was wonderful and easy to talk to. It was a great way to see Gangnam and it ended with a fantastic meal.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We are so happy to hear that your Gangnam Gourmet Tour was a highlight of your trip. We know how disappointing it can be when tours get canceled, so we always strive to honor our commitments, even for a single participant. It’s wonderful to know that Minsu made your time in Seoul so enjoyable and comfortable. I will certainly share your compliments with him! Thank you for traveling with us, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Korea! Best regards

    Min Soo was an excellent, down-to-earth guide!

    I had a really fun time with Min Soo as my guide! He told me a lot of facts and historical tidbits about each location that we visited in Gangnam that you wouldn't normally find with just a quick Google search, plus tips about how most Koreans enjoy their bbq and which Korean dishes go great with others, in addition to places he recommends next time I come to Seoul. Definitely would love to have him as a guide for another tour around this great city!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for our Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time with Min Soo. Our goal is to provide authentic experiences that go beyond what you can find in a quick online search, so it is incredibly rewarding to know that you enjoyed the historical tidbits, local BBQ tips, and food pairing secrets he shared. I will be sure to pass along your kind words to him—he truly loves sharing his personal recommendations and the vibrant culture of our city with our guests. We would be honored to have Min Soo guide you again on your next visit to Seoul. Until then, we wish you safe and happy travels!

    Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.

    How much does Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seoul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seoul is not rushed.

    Is Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seoul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple?

    +

    Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seoul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seoul and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Seoul Gangnam Gourmet Tour With Temple start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seoul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Seoul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Seoul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, 2026 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best: DMZ Tour from Seoul. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Seoul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Seoul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
