Our Clients Love Us

“The tour with Veronica was very well curated and brought us a a deeper understanding in the homebrewing journey of Seoul's brewmasters and great tips of where to eat along the way if you enjoy Korean food as much as me and my girlfriend do. This particular tour was extra special as the first brewmaster was making a new batch of Soju during our tasting tour, and allowed us to taste in a few of his experimental projects. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in Seoul's gastronomy!”

"This tour is fantastic! If you are looking for something non-touristy to do in Seoul, this is it. Veronica, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and an excellent interpreter. Meeting the brewmaster and seeing the process of making soju was fascinating. Dinner was also great. "
Cinthya HK.
"This was such an amazing experience for anyone looking to taste some of the best local Korean food. Veronica does such a great job of explaining the traditional cuisines and also some of the rich culture and history of Korea. I was able to eat at many places I would not normally have. I highly recommend this activity at the beginning of your visit since it also gives you a chance to get acclimated to the city. Kudos to Veronica for offering such a unique experience!!"
