What To Expect
Yeoido
At Yeouido Han River Park, you'll be welcomed into the evening as everything has already been thoughtfully prepared. After a brief check-in, your guide will lead the group to the riverside picnic area — the perfect setting for food, games, and a deeper sense of Seoul’s everyday life by the water.
Yeouido Hangang Park
At the riverside picnic area, guests enjoy a variety of Korean fried chicken — crispy, sweet & spicy, and spring onion (padak) — paired with drinks like soju and beer. The evening includes Korean games featured in *Squid Game*, such as Red Light, Green Light, ttakji, and Yut-nori — creating a relaxed and playful atmosphere that brings everyone together. Led by a warm and energetic guide, the games are easy to join, even if it’s your first time. As you eat, play, and laugh with others under the open sky, you’ll find yourself slipping into a rhythm that feels distinctly local — and entirely unforgettable.

5.00This tour, with our amazing guide, Jay, was extremely well-paced and enjoyable! Our evening picnic element was a nice touch in a beautiful park setting. The Han River cruise highlighted the jeweled look of the Seoul cityscape at night. The pianist and the singer who performed on the cruise were outstanding!! Thoroughly enjoyable!

5.00Sheen has great energy. The food was delicious, the games were fun and seeing the city at night from the Han River was beautiful. Was super lucky that the group was young and friendly. The only issue I had was the directions to the meeting point. Copy and paste the address to Uber and it was totally the wrong place. Took me another 20 minutes to walk to meeting point. So rough start but the rest of the evening totally made up for it. If you get Sheen as your host you will absolutely love this experience.
