What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our Seoul hosts for a night in Seoul you won’t forget - unless you indulge in a little too much soju, that is.

Whether your vibe sounds more like the eclectic, hipster district of Hongdae, the favorite of the city’s students, or you’re more Gangnam style (sleek, upmarket, and very glam), your host will make sure you’re in a neighborhood to suit. with the location chosen, it's time for your first cha (round)!

Let your host fill you in on the must-knows of Korean drinking etiquette as you sip your first soju - a Korean liquor. For the first cha, a tiny backstreet cafe for a drink and some nibbles will do the trick.

Next up, a local bar - let us know if you’d like to explore the K-Pop scene and see a live band or if you want to check out a ‘self bar’ where you grab your own beer.

Your third cha (because you can’t be tamed) will offer you the opportunity to line your stomach with Korean fried chicken and beer in a hof - we’ll let your host explain this.

And if you’re still up for more, the time has come for karaoke! Go to a noraebang (private singing room) and sing like no one’s listening (luckily, they’re not, although who are we to say; maybe you have the voice of an angel?)

    Jim was a great tour guide. Thank you, so much to Jin for showing me highlights of Seoul, South Korea. Jin thought ahead for the possible likes and interest of her guest and provided options for the evening. This evening tour was well planned making sure to visit, the hottest restaurants while introducing you to latest korean foodie favorites. Jin is the answer to budget minded travelers. Normally people travel, have a great time on vacation but over over spend. Jin assist travelers in doing more for less, heavenly. This Airbnb guide will not be a ancient Korean secret for long

    These places provide an authentic sense of place. Unique to each destination. One reason i do walking tours both guided and solo is because i like to experience not only activities but to feel like for a short time what it might be like to live in a place. Little things like how to politely eat fish cakes from street vendor. This is how it was with Yujin. The experience of heading out on a Friday night with a friend to have some fun. Travelling buy my self I would not be abl to experience that.

    Absolutely brilliant experience. One of the best things we did in Seoul. Oki was awesome. Totally knew what she was doing. Introduced us to all variety of hidden pockets of Seoul. We spent the rest of the week visiting her suggestions (Charles H cocktail bar was a real gem!). Thanks Oki!!
