Special Instructions

Your host will meet you at the foot of the escalator, Gongdeok Station, gate 7.
Don't rely on the address. Just head to the subway station and gate 7.
• Please don't rely on taxis (read below)
• Minimum drinking age is 19 years

**WE DON'T RECOMMEND USING A TAXI**
Every time a guest has been late or has missed a booking has been because of using a taxi. Taxis almost always get stuck in traffic. These days, there's a taxi driver shortage, so they're unreliable. Seoul has one of the easiest, cleanest, and safest subway systems in the world. Much better than taxis.

Your host will be a native Korean or a long-term resident with in-depth knowledge of local food culture.

The experience will run in all weather conditions unless it's dangerous (i.e., typhoon, blizzard).
