★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 80 reviews · from $245

Meet near Yeouinaru Station for a hosted Seoul evening by the Han River. From April to October, enjoy fried chicken, drinks, a riverside picnic, and Korean games such as Dalgona and Ttakji. Winter brings an indoor Korean BBQ buffet. Guides including Sheen, Jay, Gina, and Dustin lead the group before a 50-minute night cruise.

“We expected a fun evening but definitely didn’t expect what we had. Picnic dinner was cold boxes of chicken and fries that were shared with everyone on a long table in middle of walking path. No name beer and a couple of bottles of soft drinks to share. “Games” was one that had a lot of broken cookies to start. The two hour dinner could have taken 30 mins instead. Cruise was 45 mins. Would not recommend as you can easily book the cruise on your own for less money. Different choices of restaurants in area. Guide was pleasant and good English but didn’t add any historical value.”
