5.00Sangwoo was simply the best tour guide I could have asked for. It was if I was just being shown around town by a friend. Come hungry! We tried several different foods, drinks, and desserts as we walked throughout different areas of Seoul. Sangwoo was so accommodating, personable, and fun! Truly the best tour from my time in Seoul and if/when I come back I will be booking again! Thanks for being great Sangwoo.
Fun and informative night around Seoul with a great guide!

5.00Sangwoo was a really good guide who was very sociable and informed. He kept the conversation light and was able to find cross-cultural topics for us to talk about. We visited about 5 different restaurants where we tried Korean dessert, street food, drinks, and noodles. This was a walking tour, so we also got to do some sightseeing and have many photo opportunities. Along with the food, Sangwoo showed us some historical sites and gave us interesting information about these locations. Overall, it was a great experience that I highly recommend!
Fun and Casual Tour With Delicious Food

5.00We had a small group today, an Aussie, who shall remain nameless, myself and our guide Sangwoo. We had a relaxed day strolling and eating, strolling and drinking, strolling and more eating. It was a fun group and Sangwoo did a great job sharing about the history of the various neighborhoods and selecting interesting places to stop for a snack or a drink. I would recommend this tour for adults that want to try different Korean foods and learn a bit of Korean history.
Good food,good walk.. a, very positive cultural experience by and with a very good guide
