Highly Recommended - second time going on the walk -- I thought it would be a repeat, but the content was new, as well as the walk itself. I learned something then and learned something else this time as well. I am Korean, lived here pretty much my entire life and thoroughly enjoyed this experience! I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for more than just a surface level experience while visiting Korea.

Really fun! - LOVED this - so much fun. Well researched and interesting. More like a local history walk in some ways, weaving in local mythologies and cultural stories. Absolutely worthwhile.

Phenomenal tour! Worth every penny! - This was my 1st time in Seoul, and the 1st tour I’ve ever done in my life and it was amazing! Shawn was a phenomenal tour guide and made the experience worth every penny. I was traveling solo and 2 other couples were in the group but I didn’t feel left out at all. Shawn’s storytelling was next level. I don’t really believe in ghosts but his stories sent chills down my spine. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, you will love this tour. I cannot speak highly enough of it. Come experience it for yourself! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Dark Side of Seoul is very entertaining side of Seoul. - We met up with our tour guide and host Shawn at 8 pm. Shawn’s knowledge of Korean folklore, traditions and beliefs is unquestionable. On the walk/tour we visited many sights believed to be home to ghosts and spirits. Quite happy to say we did not see any but during Shawn’s narration there was plenty of chills. If this is your sort of thing or just looking for something a bit different I totally recommend Shawn’s Dark Side of Seoul tour 100%. Also check out his podcast as we did beforehand. darksideofseoul.com
