Very Fun! - Our tour guide, Simon, was excellent. As a chef, he knows his chicken! He brought us to truly authentic chicken places in local, non-touristy areas to experience the real local flavor. Fun time!

Best night out in Seoul! - We had a truly memorable evening with Jeff. He is amazing fun, full of energy and great conversation. We all had an excellent evening. We korean fried chicken and beer, followed by a wander through a market, then another chicken dish with beers and soju. He got us all back to the metro safely, and didn't scrimp on time. Would highly recommend you join this tour for a fun night out in Seoul.

Outstanding tour! - Jeff was such a great tour guide. Had a lot of fun learning Korean customs, trying different foods, including foods from the market (the Korean blood sausage was surprisingly good!), and learning the local drinking games. Was definitely worth adding this tour into the trip, 100%

Incredible Chicken & Beer Experience with Joe - If you’re looking for a unique and memorable evening in Korea, this chicken and beer tour with Joe is an absolute must! Joe has lived in Korea for over 20 years, and it shows—not only in his deep knowledge of Korean food and culture but also in the way he bridges the experience for fellow Americans. He’s incredibly relatable and makes you feel at ease right away. The chicken? Absolutely phenomenal. Each stop featured flavors we never would have discovered on our own, tucked away in places we’d never have found without Joe’s insider knowledge. It was great having crispy textured food and beer made it better. Joe shared fantastic stories and cultural insights that added so much depth to the experience. Highly, highly recommend!

Delicious food and cool locations - All three stops were unique in their own way, but all had delicious chicken and beer. This was a great introduction to the chicken and beer scene in Seoul.
