Published start areas
- Gwangjang Market walk: outside Cocoda Lab on Dongho-ro in Jongno District, described by the listing as a 30-second walk from Jongno 5-ga Station Exit 7. The walk ends back at the same corner.
- Evening market tour: Exit 7 of Jongno 5-ga Station on Line 1, in front of the Jongno 5-ga police substation. The listing says the walk returns to the meeting point.
- Private Jongno tour: Exit 4 of Jongno 3-ga Station, in central Seoul. The end point is confirmed by the guide rather than published as a fixed location.
Two different stations, three different street corners. A station name alone is not enough: Jongno 3-ga is a three-line interchange with more than a dozen exits, and Jongno 5-ga's Exit 7 puts you on a wide road with the market entrance across traffic. Follow the operator's current pin and exit instructions from your confirmation rather than navigating to the station name.
Leave arrival margin
Plan your route to the named exit, then allow a few minutes to find the street-level landmark and your guide. Food tours depart once; there is no catching up to a stall mid-route. If you are coming from a hotel across the river, add a buffer for Line 1 or Line 3 transfers at Jongno 3-ga.
When the tour ends, check where it leaves you before adding another timed booking: both market walks finish near Jongno 5-ga, and the private tour's finish is announced by the guide on the day. See how the tours compare and what to know before booking.
Common questions
Is the meeting point inside the station?
No. All three checked listings name street-level exits and landmarks outside their stations. Use the operator's current pin rather than waiting inside the fare gates.
Where do the tours finish?
The two market-area tours return to their Jongno 5-ga meeting points, and the private Jongno listing says its end point is confirmed by the guide. Confirm the current finish details before scheduling anything immediately after.
