Namdaemun Market, first opened in 1964, is the largest traditional market in Korea with over 10,000 retailers, vendors, and wholesalers. The market, spread out over many blocks, is a dense maze of stalls, vendors, and restaurants. Nowhere else in Korea can you find such a large collection of interesting and traditional Korean items for sale in one place.
The market truly comes alive and gets packed with shoppers looking for great deals or those looking to sample some of the tasty street food.
Namdaemun Market is a great place to stroll through during the day or at night, even if you are not planning to buy anything.

Sally took us through the nooks and crannies of the market. The foods were delicious and I really enjoyed talking to her about living in Seoul.

Highly recommended! Joy is very knowledgeable and did a great job looking after the group. The food and snacks we had were amazing. Joy showed us the different alleys and shops that we wouldn't have known or gone otherwise. Saw different side dishes and unique delicacies, and even visited the Namdaemun gate nearby. Thanks Joy for a great time.

Sally was great. We got a good historic look at area while explaining how this 600 year old market had changed. And yet stayed the same. Food was really good. She knew the places to go. It’s fun to see people love their country.

Not only do you get fun facts about Namdaemun Market…the adventure into local taste Soraya, tour guide, introduce/eat through Namdaemun Market can’t be missed! Stay after to do fun discount price shopping.

Although, I was solo on the tour. My guide Soraya was amazing with making sure my experience was enjoyable. I recommend this tour because for the price, you get a lot of foods to sample and you see a lot of wonderful sites while walking & eating.

I had a great time with Joy on this tour. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and she graciously adjusted plans when the market got overwhelming for me. I recommend the tour, and Joy in particular as a guide, to all.
