Awesome tour - We went on one of the coldest nights in Korea which was poor planning on my part. But besides that, Shawn our tour guide was personable and hilarious during our urban legends tour. I enjoyed all the urban legends and information on the city he shared.

Entertaining Ghost Tour - It was a fun an informative ghost walk around Seoul. I definitely thought I encountered a ghost on it, but hopefully I didn't bring it back home. :D Recommend if you are looking for an enjoyable, educational, evening walk around Seoul.

Spookily fun and culturally engaging. A must for lore and traditions enthusiasts! - A spookily fun tour. So many stories and cultural background surrounding them delivered with the type of mastery that keeps you engaged and hanging on every word. Two and a half hours in and it never felt like a dull moment was there to be had. Only mistake made was to have it scheduled on our last night in town which meant we couldn't go back and enjoy the locations and all they had to offer during the day time. Do yourself a favor and join in early and make enough time to revisit the sites and enjoy all the different cultural and traditional activities to be had there over the rest of your stay.

Best tour ever - The stories were amazing and some were bone chilling. Shawn is a great and charismatic guide. The entire tour breezed by so quickly because we were so caught up on it and didn’t realise the hours had passed.

Go on this tour at the beginning of your visit to Seoul - A very entertaining learning experience about the history and creepy tales of Seoul. We took the extended tour back in April and we had a blast. Shawn has so much knowledge of Korean folklore and his storytelling was fascinating. My only regret is that we didn't start our trip to South Korea with this tour; we learned of many other locations and things to do that we'd liked to have experienced more of afterwards. (We took the tour the day before we flew back to the US.) I enjoy listening to Shawn and Joe's podcast The Dark Side of Seoul to learn about Korean culture until we get to visit again.
