5.00Mike was fantastic! I was on my own and met with 3 people who were traveling together. We laughed so much as we visited food stall after food stall and imbibing the local beers,soju and more. This was a tour I would not have done on my own not knowing where to go so it was perfect! Always wanted to eat in one of the street tents- done! Enjoy chicken and beer - done!
Best tour in Seoul 👊🏽✨

5.00Sophie was a diamond of a guide 🙂↕️ Super knowledgeable and made the tour both really educational and fun. You can tell she genuinely cares about everyone having a good time, she definitely goes the extra mile for the group. Plus she gave me the best chimaek recommendation in Seoul, which was the perfect end of my time in the city. 10/10 would recommend 💎👑
