“Great night at the baseball (and KBBQ) for the finals series. Tickets were more expensive than first advertised due to finals series being on, but the communication was clear and up front (with offer of refund if needed). We were taken aback by the constant signing, celebrating and festivities. Was a great night… and the Twins won which was even better!! Thanks to our host Thomas (and Jin) for making everything seamless.”

“Thankyou to Joe our guide who was Awesome! I didn't want to write a review until our trip was over and we had eaten at many Seoul tourist market restaurants. Joe's guided food and drink tour was the best food we had eaten on our holiday. This is special and not to be missed. His knowledge of the country, food, drink and the people was inspiring which lead to many questions for Joe to answer and he answered them professionally , confidently and a little cheekily. I wish we could had stay on and socialised more with Joe into the night . A great night out.”
