My guide, Chris, was super informative as we walked through the market, BIFF square and Nampo-gu, giving me interesting culture and history tidbits. All the food was delicious (especially the grilled fish!) and Chris was accommodating about menu preferences and any food likes and dislikes. I really enjoyed going to the pochas (tents) and making friends with other patrons. It made for a great night!” - Reviewed on October 21, 2024
