Itinerary
At Yeouido Han River Park, you'll be welcomed into the evening as everything has already been thoughtfully prepared. After a brief check-in, your guide will lead the group to the riverside picnic area — the perfect setting for food, games, and a deeper sense of Seoul’s everyday life by the water.
At the riverside picnic area, guests enjoy a variety of Korean fried chicken — crispy, sweet & spicy, and spring onion (padak) — paired with drinks like soju and beer. The evening includes Korean games featured in *Squid Game*, such as Red Light, Green Light, ttakji, and Yut-nori — creating a relaxed and playful atmosphere that brings everyone together. Led by a warm and energetic guide, the games are easy to join, even if it’s your first time. As you eat, play, and laugh with others under the open sky, you’ll find yourself slipping into a rhythm that feels distinctly local — and entirely unforgettable.
At 10:00 PM, board the Han River night cruise and watch Seoul light up from the water. As the boat glides past glowing bridges and skyline reflections, you’ll experience a quieter, softer side of the city. Live music adds to the mood, turning the ride into a moment of calm, reflection, and wonder. Whether the sky is clear or misty with rain, each evening brings its own kind of magic — from twinkling lights to peaceful ripples on the river. It’s the perfect finale to a night of connection, laughter, and local discovery.

We had a lot of fun playing games and having the picnic. The fried chicken was waiting for us when we arrived, with table and chairs all set up, it was so nice! Our guide, Jay, was great and took lots of pictures and videos for us! The river cruise was nice end to the evening.
Guide was extremely approachable and was knowledgeable about the location’s history and made guests feel welcome.

Sheen was a fantastic guide! The other people who booked our tour canceled so it ended up turning into a private tour just for our family. Sheen did not hesitate with continuing on with the activities. He was extremely friendly and informative. We had wonderful conversation throughout the evening. This was a fantastic way to end our visit to Seoul. Thank you so much!

It was super easy to talk to Mr. Sheen Kim! He was a remarkable tour guide. He offered to take pictures of us at special spots in the tour. We laughed, ate really good food, and laughed some more. I would definitely do this again if I ever visit Korea with my friends and family :)

It was fun, exciting, and very pretty!
Ron is the best tour guide ever! I had such a fantastic time. Delicious food, drinks, fun games, enjoyable company, and the evening light cruise is fabulous!👌 highly recommend tour and guide.
It was wonderful, jade was friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our experience with her !
The tour was fun. The guides were very friendly and provided great information. The picnic was especially fun when we were playing games. We couldn’t believe how busy the Han River park was and how many people were having a picnic. Sort of reminded us of Central Park in New York. People were jogging, biking, walking dogs etc. There wasn’t a lot to see on the cruise but it was still nice to go. A fun and relaxing way to spend an evening in Seoul.
Had a wonderful experience with Jade as our tour leader !! Delicious chicken and snacks! Would highly recommend was well organised and good amount of time thoroughly enjoyed my evening :)
Amazing Tour!! Such a friendly guide had so much fun playing games and cruise was beautiful thank you!!
