Daniel Gray with Cho Yoonsun on set for Netflix's Street Food: Ep. 6: Korea
I specialize in authentic South Korea tours that highlight the country's top attractions, hidden gems, and cultural heritage. We provide fully insured, stress-free travel experiences through Korea's breathtaking landscapes. My experiences are progressive meals that are focused on traditional markets, artisan products and local chefs. As I get to know my guests, I will change up the itinerary on the fly to fit certain requests, dietary restrictions and other factors.

Daniel Gray is a writer that has years of experience in the tour and video production industry. He has worked as a fixer, talent consultant, location expert, crew and talent for video and radio productions around the world. He recently worked on Netflix's Street Food Asia, Episode 6: Korea. For that episode he was the researcher, talent and location consultant, fixer and on air expert.
He is well known Korean food expert that has worked with or consulted for the OECD, European Union, New York Times, Seoul Tourism, Korea Tourism and The Korean Food Foundation. He has been interviewed, sited or quoted in the New York Times, New York Post, Politiken, Sydney Herald, and others.
He has appeared on and helped with the productions of The Kimchi Chronicles, Anthony Bourdain's Part's Unknown, Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods, Vice TV's Munchies, Rachel Hunter's Tour of Beauty, Vocativ Productions and more.
He said the most interesting person he has met on his tour was a certain blond from the movie Swingers (you might know her as Rollergirl from Boogie Nights) because he and his friends idolized her growing up. He also had a chance to meet Mr. Bourdain on a production because he always dreamed of having a drink with the man while reading his books. When he isn't eating, he writes, makes sure his wife is happy, and works out as much as he can (so he can eat more.)

What People Say About Our Tours
Lynda and I just wanted to drop you a quick note to express our thanks for an interesting, tasty and very enjoyable afternoon. You've made our first visit to Seoul a true cultural experience and have encouraged us to explore more before we have to leave on Sunday. You have a unique business model with great appeal to visitors to Korea. We wish you every success!

Thanks to you and Shawn again for organising the cooking class for my sister and I. We enjoyed it very much!! It was something different from the usual bus tours, etc that you do when it's your first time in a country. It was also great just to meet new people :)

Chris Backe: Chris in South Korea "Dan's knowledge of Korean food is second to none. When he wasn't explaining what a food was or offering a sauce recipe from memory, he was explaining some element of Korean culture or history to the group. While this tour has been designed for foreign visitors to Korea, expat teachers are more than welcome to join the group."
Seoul Selection Magazine "What makes Dan's Food Tours truly amazing is that Korean food is presented in a cultural context and a real world setting. No sterilized, whitewashed tourist fantasies; only the sheer beauty of Korean food—the truth."
