Amazing food tour - 'local' (=Korean) guides who didn't only introduce us to Korean food but also gave us an insight of culture, life and history.

A getaway to Korea in Shanghai - Jooyoung was very helpful and informative, teaching us not only where to go for delicious food in Koreatown, but also what to order, how to say it, how to eat it, and even how to buy it to take home/ order in! We did this tour hoping to feel a bit of an escape to a neighborhood we didn't know well, and escape we did to the taste and smells of Korea. We tried street food, bar food, snacks, and full dishes and were even recommended specific products to buy at the grocery store. Perfect afternoon/early evening activity for a group or couple without kids.

Shanghai to Seoul, no flight needed - This was such a fun escape from Shanghai. Our guides, Silvia and Jooyoung, were so knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Korean food and culture. Their expertise and all of the K-town stops seriously had us feeling like we had gone to Seoul for the night.
We arranged a private tour with 11 friends and it was a really fun way to hang out together. Highly recommended.

Great time in Ktown! - This was my second tour with Untour. I booked a private tour for 16 people with 2 guides. We had a great time and the guides were very helpful and even directed us where to go after the tour. Thank you! Can’t wait to go back and visit koreatown.

Delicious & fun Koreatown tour - I just moved to Shanghai and this tour was a great way to explore a different part of the city! Our tour guide, Sylvia, was so nice and knowledgeable - we had interesting discussions on Korean culture while eating delicious food that I would never be able to find on my own

such a great tour! - Wow! I've lived in Shanghai for 10 years, and have done many of the Untour Food Tours and this one is just as excellent as the others. We had such a fun time bopping around Koreatown and eating all of the delicious food. Silvia was a fantastic guide, and it would really be hard to pick a highlight, it was all so great. I highly highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai, or people like me who have been here for a while and looking for a fun activity.

Delicious food in Ktown! - Our tour guide was great- JooYoung told us all the great spots in K-town, and took us to many good restaurants. She did a great job ordering, navigating, and telling us about Korean culture. This was a fun tour to explore all that ktown has to offer- I will definitely be going back to eat at some of the places we visited!
