Hi there! Nice to meet you

I also used to travel a lot of different cities in the world and understand very well what you expect while you are traveling as a local.

I was born and raised in Seoul and have lived other cities as an expat. Therefore, I can take you the most attractive and best places of Seoul, so that you can have a great experience in Korea. I like Korean local foods in authentic and fusion style, I can also take you the real local places with good restaurants and markets, but also luxury experiences if you want.

I can also organise your special memorable trip in case of your special event day, celebration etc. Let's start right now!

We very much enjoyed our tour through the Namdaemum market with Julian. Apart from his wealth of food knowledge, he also provided interesting commentary on broader aspects of Seoul culture and history. Plus, we understand he is about to release a cook book of local food recipes!Namdaemum Tour by well travelled foodie

Julian took us to some great local places throughout Seoul. He is very personal and gave us great knowledge of the local food, sites, and culture. He made us capture some awesome bites we might not have tried in our couple of days here.Great time

We had the pleasure of a food tour with Julian in a recent visit to Seoul. Julian is a very knowledgable foodie and introduced us to a variety of delicious foods and vendors throughout central Seoul, while also giving us insight into this amazing city. Julian is friendly and interesting . He was very prompt and clear in his communication and kindly followed up with more information about places to eat. Thank you, Julian! Fun, unteresting and delicious!

My family, including my 3 teenage boys, enjoyed our tour with Julian. A perfect combination of eating, culture and walking. He was generous with his time and information. He also helped me with other ideas for our trip. Very kind!Family feast

We thoroughly enjoyed our street food tour and got to try food we would ordinarily never have found/ ordered - furthermore, Julian’s tour included so much more than food - we took in some key sights and learned some history on the way. Finally - we booked this tour as we needed to cater for specific diet requirements - which Julian navigated for us! Cannot recommend this tour enough! Thank you again Julian - it was an absolute pleasure meeting you!Fantastic tour! Julian is awesome!

We signed up Withlocals for our second experience the previous was Istanbul. This evening was more expensive and less value. Our guide Julian was asked if we could start later which was fine but he failed to tell us the experience still finished at the same time, so his focus seemed to be on keeping us moving. Maybe by necessity of the sites he wanted us to see we started with a very interesting restaurant but probably should have been near the end and maybe we could have finished with a coffee or a drink as the last siteVery local food

Julian knows everything worth knowing about Korean food. He knows the best spots and the tour covered a huge variety of food whilst taking in the sites of Seoul. Julian is also great at proving cultural insights and history.Fabulous Foodie
