The guide - Shawn - was amazing in telling us the folklore of all the places we visited on the tour! The storytelling was immersive and we really got into hearing about all sorts of legends and ghost stories. Much recommended!!
A truly amazing tour/experience! Shawn was a fantastic guide, leading us through the streets of Seoul while telling us tales of the spirits/beliefs of South Korea. I learned so much about the folklore/urban legends of the country, and Shawn was even able to integrate personal experiences throughout. It was a fascinating tour, and one I would recommend to anyone interested in the darker history of Seoul.
