Will be booking again!! - Such an amazing experience! Shawn is so knowledgeable and personable it was such an easy tour to understand and actually enjoy. You can see how much he respects and loves the culture. As we were walking around, he even told us some random facts about Seoul unrelated to the tour so the guy really knows his stuff. We were cold and weary before the tour due to the earlier events we had on during the day but by time the tour started we didn't want it to end, we didn't even feel the cold. If anything we should've taken up the extended option! I could not recommend these guys more - we will definitely be booking with them again.

Great Mix of Ghost/Folklore/dark history - My husband and I had an amazing but rainy and windy tour, which only added to the ambiance. I was impressed with Joe's diverse knowledge - it was a great mix of ghost/folklore/dark history while seeing the sights. It felt is was a bit more in-depth than expected! We overall had a great time!

Great fun! - We really enjoyed the Extended Tour with folklorist, Shawn. Due to his excellent storytelling skills, we had creepy fun walking (in the biting cold) around various spots near central Seoul. Highly recommended!

Interesting tour & engaging guide - The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the stories in a very engaging way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Seoul. Shawn’s tour had ghost stories, folk lore, and tidbits of Korean culture and history. Loved it!

Great tour! - I went in late January with 3 friends and we loved the tour. I had previously lived in Seoul and never had a chance to do the tour and I'm so glad I did 2 years later. The tour was very informative and also made you think more about other Korean folklore you might not know. It was very interesting to hear about things that I think of as mundane such as moving houses or going on vacation as having a deeper meaning behind them. Book the tour!

Need to book something quick, fun, and spooky? BOOK THIS! - If you're looking for spooky stories, history, culture, and a fun adventure around Seoul this is definitely the tour to book! Our guide Shawn took us all over Seoul giving us great folklore stories, ghost that wander the grounds, and even gave us great tips to be rid of ghost if they were to follow us home! Definitely wished we booked this at the beginning of our trip instead of the end so we can go back and visit the wonderful spots he brought us to but we'll have the photos to live it all over again!
