What an enlightening...

What an enlightening experience! I've drank Makoli before but never knew how it was made or it's history. I was able to taste makoli not normally seen around town, from brewers in small local towns.

Sam gave us a varied tasting with good stories and information. We were able to purchase goods to take home with us from Seoul. The guide speaks perfect English.

Wonderful experience!

Sam and Jay were fun, personable and informative hosts with great knowledge to share. I learned a lot about makgeolli and it's fascinating history. Learning about it's cultural roots and significance is really what made it special to me, but also the innovations they are making in the process is very interesting. I would recommend their tours to everyone. They also gave me great tips for my travels. I immediately booked the Mangwon food market tour after this knowing I would be in great hands. I would also like to try the soju tasting someday. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
