Description

Good to Know

Dinner happens at the pork BBQ restaurant featured on "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" by the same team who took him there. Charcoal-grilled pork and aged kimchi are the whole point. Your host walks you through BBQ and drinking etiquette while you take in the atmosphere of a spot that's stayed exactly as gritty and good as it was on TV. From there, you'll pass through a pigs' feet market and a pancake market before ending the night in a classic Korean pub, enjoying pancakes and other pub grub while getting a crash course on traditional Korean beverages. Upgrade to the Three Stops option for a final stop at an old-school fried chicken pub, crispy chicken and cold beer to close out the night. All food and drink (within reason) are included in the price. ✅ Solo-friendly | ✅ Female traveler-friendly | ✅ LGBTQ+ friendly

A great food experience

We enjoyed a great evening Ron, starting with Korean pork barbecue and moving on to fried chicken and beer. The food was delicious and Ron was very good company answering all our questions about Korean food and culture.

Gave us the tools to explore more on our own.

Fantastic personal tour with our guide, Young. She was fun and showed us how to navigate Korean BBQ like a local. She also shared many traditions and cultural customs. This experience made us confident exploring more on our own. The metro meeting location was convenient and easy to get to on the metro. Recommend you come hungry.

Amazing tour! We were lucky to have Joe as our guide and he showed us some fantastic spots that really made the culture

One of the best food tours I’ve ever been on! I’m a tour guide myself and Joe was a joy to hangout with. Friendly, knowledgeable, passionate, easy going, and fun!! Would recommend to anyone visiting for even just one day!!
