Excellent vegan intro to Korea
The tour was excellent. We learnt lots about Korean food and what foods are vegan as standard which has been a massive help for the trip. I’d advise others to do this earlier in your trip to South Korea especially if you are vegan. The food was fantastic and the market was a lot of fun! Don’t hesitate to book!

Perfect introduction to Korean food
What a lovely morning in the market with Jae. In addition to sampling tasty courses, I practiced speaking Korean, attempted using metal chopsticks and learned a little history behind the food. The portions were a good size. We finished just as the market started to get crowded. Good communication leading up to the tour as well. I recommend this treat.

Great evening spent eating!
Easy to find and well planned out tour. Jae Was very well informed and organized. He took us on a tour of foods we otherwise would not have tried. Additionally he went out of his way to recommend other restaurants and must do experiences during our time in Seoul. The tour ended up being just my friend & myself so we felt like we had a private experience. Thank-you Jae for an awesome time!

Why this scores 56

Seoul Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Seoul Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics cost?
+
Prices start at $84 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 Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics?
+
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 Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Seoul Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Seoul Vegan Vegetarian Market Food Tour with Temple Classics 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 Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, 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.
