What’s a ghosts favourite dessert? I scream - It was a dark and creepy Halloween night, when this intrepid explorer decided to join a ghost tour as opposed to watching Train to Busan in their hotel room alone. And it was totally worth it, you can take this tour at any time in the year, I was just around for Halloween and couldn’t resist. Joe, our guide, was a lot of fun, he had good projection and a great flair for the dramatic, and I learned more about Seoul from this tour than I did from the bus tour. The guys have put a lot of work into research and it shows. Highly recommend 👻

A must do!!! - So much fun! Shawn was an amazing guide/presenter and his passion for folklore made the experience even better. This was a great way to see the city and I would definitely recommend doing the extended tour. Shawn also gave us amazing tips on the city and must dos before leaving Seoul!

"Dark Side of Seoul" - A Must-Do Tour! - I recently joined the "Dark Side of Seoul" tour, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide led us through some of Seoul's very intriguing spots, sharing Korean folklore and urban ghost stories tied to the city’s history. The guide was amazing – personable, funny, and brought a theatrical touch to the storytelling that made the tour both entertaining and engaging. I’m so glad I joined this tour; it was a fun and fascinating way to explore Seoul!

Great time! No hauntings this far! - Very personable and intriguing! As someone new to Seoul it’s so fascinating to learn how rich the culture is in many ways, but learning some of the history and folklore in plain sight all around is really make the city come to life in a whole new way.

Seoul and the supernatural - Shawn is a very knowledgeable guide who made the spooky, gloomy rainy night seem fitting. His stories were very interesting and I hope the ghosts that travel don’t want to hang with this traveler. I highly suggest this tour.

Book Now! - I’ve taken both tours (Joe’s & Shawn’s) on two separate trips to Seoul. Both are excellent and completely different. You can’t go wrong with either. Highly recommended!

Don't miss out on this tour - It was a great way to explore Seoul and get some insights into architecture and culture surrounding urban legends and folk tales. The tour guide (Shawn) was a great presenter and super funny and nice. If you're in Seoul and have some time to spare, it's a great way to see another side of the city.
