HanBuddy is a platform that connects travelers and foreign residents in Korea with local buddies. A buddy is a Korean local who hosts a small-group experience and goes with you.

Korean locals who host in English. So far they are our own team and licensed tour guides. Our team checks every buddy and partner before they host, and a new buddy’s first experience is always hosted together with us.

Each experience page lists it. For game nights it is the match ticket and stadium food.

Bookings close 24 hours before the experience starts.

You get a full refund up to 48 hours before the start, and 50% between 48 and 24 hours. If your buddy cancels, you get a full refund.
