Not a foodie tour
Christopher_G, May 2025
Didn't feel the tour offered us off the beaten path or authentic experiences. The guide admitted he wasn't a foodie. Not worth the money in any way.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hello Christopher, We’re truly sorry to hear that the experience fell short of your expectations, particularly in providing authentic, off-the-beaten-path insights and the level of food expertise you were hoping for. We’ve taken this seriously and are reviewing the experience and host match to ensure better alignment with guest expectations. Your trust means a lot to us, and we’d love the chance to make it right with a more tailored and memorable experience next time. Warm regards, Sheenah and the City Unscripted team
This is experience was...
Bruce_L, Mar 2025
This is experience was all about the guide. Jay made this very memorable and we are very thankful. He explained where and what we were doing. He always asked to make sure the walk was going to be ok. Took pictures of us. Explained not only the food but the history and construction of the city.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Your review truly made our day! Jay's thoughtful approach and attention to detail clearly made for an unforgettable experience, and we’re so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for choosing City Unscripted and here's to more great adventures!
Yummy and fun experience
David_S, Dec 2024
GJ did a great job showing us around and ensuring that we got to try some great food. We will do this tour again in the future.

Best food tour!
Lindsay_S, Jan 2024
We had the pleasure of getting a food tour with Andrew during a long layover in Seoul. Such a great experience! He was very accommodating to having jet lagged kids and food allergies. We were able to get some history on Korea during our drive also. Besides him being knowledgeable, he was great to be around. I highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
I'm thrilled to learn that you enjoyed your time with Andrew, and your description of the experience sounds genuinely thrilling! We appreciate you sharing your personal recommendations with fellow travelers, and a heartfelt thank you for the positive review. Your feedback holds great significance for us!
