Seoul night food walk with local Korean BBQ, Hongdae art and Namsan 360 views, guided by an English-speaking pro.
“I really enjoyed this tour. Ben is a really good guide. He is very knowledgeable about his city and clearly explained different points of history or architecture to me as I asked. It is also very clear that he enjoys sharing his city with foreigners. As we walked from point to point, he would also take back roads and paths so that he could show more of the city than is generally seen. He was flexible as also adjusted the tour as I was going solo. This tour is highly recommended for the evening-night view. The tower and city are both so beautiful all lit up, and I think that,…”
Sunset hike through Naksan Park’s fortress paths, then a small-group Korean dinner with café drinks and makgeolli.
“I went on this tour when I visited Seoul during the wintertime. It wasn't the best weather out, and I almost reconsidered going, but I'm happy I did because I had a great time with Jin. He was a kind and amicable tour guide who took us to some great places to eat and drink Korean beer and local food! He speaks English fluently as he had a strong interest in American culture, which makes him a really great person to talk to about cultural differences. The main thing I wanted to point out, though, is you don't need to take my word for it. Jin was surprised I booked…”

A 150-minute Sinchon dinner pairing Korean BBQ-style meat with wine, plus a beginner-friendly wine lesson and local drinking manners.
“This was such a nice experience! I booked it as a surprise for my mum who is visiting me in Korea. I thought we might need some conversation with others by this point in the trip… I can’t recommend this enough. There was only us and one other person on our tour. Taser was a very good host who knew a lot about the area, Sinchon and about wine. But he was also very thoughtful, and interesting and great to talk to. As was the other guest on the tour which made for a great few hours enjoying lovely food and wine, and great company. It really was something different…”
