Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. Seoul at night was beautiful and the stories curious and ghoulish. Recommend!
Spooky, Knowledgeable, Fantastic, Funny.

I had a great tour guide. He gave us lots of stories and knowledge that I would have never been able to or think to find. Shawn also shares personal stories that are very funny to hear and learn about. Would definitely recommend this tour and the tour guide Shawn if you want to participate in finding the spooky parts of Seoul.

Thanks for the review! Sounds like **Shawn** nailed the spooky vibe while keeping things entertaining with his personal stories. We always aim to dig up the hidden, creepy corners of Seoul that you wouldn't find on your own. If you're ever in the mood for more spooky tales (and some laughs), you know where to find us!
Highly Recommend

So fun! Booked last minute after taking the hiking tour w/ Shawn. It was really cool to see and hear about the lore that lives throughout the city. He points out locations that seem ordinary but the stories behind some of them are so interesting - and spooky! Must admit, I feared washing my face in the bathroom mirror that night. ????

Thanks for the review! Sounds like Shawn had you hooked with those eerie stories — we get it, sometimes the ordinary feels *anything but* ordinary after hearing about the spooky history behind it. ???? Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour, and hopefully, the bathroom mirror didn’t haunt you too much! If you’re up for more creepy tales, we’ll be here ready to show you the darker side of Seoul again.
Awesome storytelling!

My partner and I had an amazing but windy /cold tour. Shawn was a fantastic host, you could see that he is passionate and very knowledgeable about the Korean forklore/lore. I was bummed that I didn’t have any cash to buy he’s comic book, but maybe next time ????
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thanks for the review! It sounds like the wind and cold added a little extra chill to the spooky atmosphere — perfect for **Shawn's** storytelling! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the tour, even if the weather wasn’t exactly ideal. And no worries about the comic book; it’ll be waiting for you on your next ghostly adventure! If you’re ever back for another round of eerie tales, we’d love to have you join us again.
