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.

5.00Had so much fun. Made some new friends. Had chicken and beer, played games and finished with a lovely evening cruise. What more could we ask for. Thanks for a really well organised evening.

5.00Mr. Sheen Kim was delightful. English was good. I'm 71yo so I was walking slowly in the dark (almost lost my way). Cruise was nice and we had drinking games after the cruise. Weather was brisk (winter is coming) so dinner was average outside on the lawn but the effort was appreciated. We left the park at 10:45pm but was able to hail a cab quickly after a 5-minute walk to the main road.
Highly recommended trip and guide

5.00We enjoyed this event very much. Sheen was a caring guide, the picnic was well organised, and playing Korean games was great fun. Last but not least, the event ended with a cruise showing a fascinating skyline of Seoul at night and offered even additional entertainment on the boat. Sheen maintained contact with the group via WhatsApp and sent us photos taken during the trip.
The guide organized...

5.00Jongsoo Kim or Jay is a very good tour guide with a sense of humour. The tour Includes picnic in the park and playing games which the group enjoyed more. jay narrated the history of the island, It was interesting to learn about the island and its history. The group photos and video were promptly forwarded to the group . The river cruise was so calming with the beautiful scenery on the background. I must say, this tour is worth doing when you are In Seoul.

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!
A Highlight of my Trip to Seoul!

5.00This experience was truly memorable in the very best ways. There were just three guests in our group, all women traveling solo, and Jay couldn't have been a better host! He shared interesting background information about the area of Seoul we were in and some other cultural and fun facts along the way. The picnic set-up was charming and the food was delicious...perfect for the event. Unfortunately, all river cruises were canceled that night by the government due to recent rainfall, but the company contacted us in advance with the option to come anyway (with a refund for the cruise) or change to a different night. I chose to go anyway, knowing there wouldn't be a cruise. I'm not sure how much fun the cruise would have been--will have to check it out on a future visit, but the fun we had with Jay playing more games and telling stories instead exceeded all of my expectations. I haven't laughed that hard in I don't know when. Jay and the tour company took such great care of us, and I can't recommend this evening highly enough. Thanks for everything!
