We had a wonderful ghost tour with Shawn, who was so knowledgeable and eager to keep us engaged throughout the tour. He had so many stories to share and kept things interilesting for our family of ghost tour enthusiasts

It was a fantastic journey between folklore and modernity. The guide took us to corners of Seoul that have their own atmosphere at night. The short and long stories about the world of spirits and the supernatural were not HuiBu Ghostbusters stuff, but rather how belief and folklore have been preserved up to the present day and still have an influence on people. Highly recommended!

Shawn is an expert Korean folkloreist who shared stories and traditions from Korea's past and present. An easy walk through various spots to hear and learn, an overall enjoyable experience.

Not at all scary but very interesting/fascinating history! Joe is so knowledgeable and a very engaging host. The best part was seeing parts of lively back alleyways and quiet historical neighborhoods the average tourist wouldn't know about on their own. Highly recommend!

I stumbled upon this tour thanks to the Dark Side of Seoul podcast. Shawn's storytelling skills are excellent. It was informative and fun. He answered questions in detail while walking between the locations. Discovered some new spots around Seoul and met some nice people.

Really enjoyed this tour. The guide Shawn was so interesting and funny, keeping the group engaged the whole way through. I would definitely do this tour again if I ever come to Seoul. I did the tour with my two siblings and we don’t agree on things often but all decided this was one of our favourite activities of our trip!

We did both tours (Folklore with Shawn, History with Joe) and loved both. Although I get scared easily, the tours were at the right level - some stories were spooky and I was checking every room's dark corner, but I didn't have nightmares afterwards! It was great to understand some of Seoul's history and culture through the ghost stories. The comics are also pretty good, a nice memento from the trip. The guides have very different styles but were both great and had also very good food recommendations for after the tour.

Highly recommendable tour for anyone who is interested in ghost stories and Korean folklore. Shawn is great at telling stories and funny. We got to see parts of Seoul that we otherwise would not have seen.

Shawn was en excellent story teller and I learned a lot about Korean folklore, culture and history as we traversed grounds around the Gyeongbokgung Palace. He answered several questions from the group and was very engaging with everyone. You can tell that he has a passion for Korean culture, particularly tied to traditions relating to the spirit world and enjoys sharing that with an audience. I'd highly recommend taking this walk if you have a night to spare in Seoul.

The tour was great! Joe was knowledgeable, witty, and a great storyteller. There were lots of ghost stories and "dark history" tidbits that you don't typically hear about. We found it so interesting! It's also a great way to see the city and "historic" areas that aren't on the usual tourist maps. We did the extended tour which was totally worth it. The last stop on the tour gave me the chills! (I won't share the location so I don't ruin the surprise for future ghost tourists). :) I definitely recommend this tour.

Joe does an amazing job explaing the history and allure of Korea. I felt like this was not only great for spooky haunts, but also for getting to know Seoul. Highly recommend!
