Easy-Going Gangnam Walk with Dinner
Jimmy S,,Feb 7, 2026

5.00This was a relaxed early-evening walking tour, and our guide was friendly and attentive. The pace felt comfortable, and it was a pleasant way to get oriented to the Gangnam area. We visited Bongeunsa Temple, which is a beautiful and serene site. The visit felt more like a quiet introduction than a deep dive, which worked well for the flow of the afternoon, especially for travelers who prefer to explore and ask questions at their own pace. Stops like the Gangnam Style Horse Dance Stage and Starfield Library were brief but fun and visually striking — great photo opportunities and easy highlights to include on a short walking route. The Korean BBQ dinner was casual and enjoyable, and the timing (starting around 4:30pm and wrapping up by early evening) made this a nice, low-stress way to combine sightseeing with a meal. Overall, this tour is well-suited for travelers looking for a lighter, photo-oriented overview rather than an in-depth cultural or historical tour. I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it as an easy, well-organized introduction to Gangnam.

5.00This tour was amazing. Our tour guide Chou was absolutely incredible. He was able to explain everything clearly and professionally. He took every opportunity to explain the history behind every stop on the tour as well as things between. I applaud him and his commitment to ensuring that we had the best time possible. He is the one of the best tour guides that I’ve ever experienced.

5.00Choi met us promptly and provided detailed historical and cultural information throughout the tour. The temple was stunning at night and the KBBQ experience was wonderful. He was kind and flexible when we wanted to stop or look at other things and was incredibly helpful when we needed to find a rideshare at the end of the tour - he called the driver to make sure they had the correct location and later texted us the special of a food item mentioned during our time together. Highly recommend!

5.00Greart tour, seeing everything at night was cool. Very thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, personable as he explained the significance of what we were seeing. Very accomodating. The scenes around the district were so beautiful. The Korean BBQ was awesome, especially since Choi cooked it for us LOL! So much good food. Choi was great answering our questions and sharing about Korean culture. Well Worth it!
