Korea's most popular ghost tour! One of the top things to do in Seoul. This is the side of Seoul that you won’t find in the tourism brochures. Take a tour down the dark alleys of Seoul's forgotten 600-year history of bloody massacres, seedy hideaways and mourning ghosts. Self-proclaimed clairvoyants on the tour have reported a few sightings, including a little girl who has been seen following the group around. This is not only a ghost tour, but a walk unearthing Seoul's murky and violent past, making the city much more interesting and intimate. Guests also receive an online map of all the haunts, murder sites, and torture chambers mentioned on the tour.

Joe was a really fun and active host! He chatted with most everyone in the group about any topic that came up, he had a lot of little personal tidbits about his own experiences in Seoul's modern history. The tour wasn't solely focused on ghosts and hauntings but featured more macabre and interesting bits of Korea's history as well. It was nice to have a guide who not only knew his stuff but could communicate that knowledge in a fun and engaging way. Even though this is my third time in Korea I still got to see parts of Seoul I had never even known about and probably would have never gone to on my own! Such an enriching way to discover the city and its history. Even though we didn't see any ghosts we could definitely feel the heavy energy of Gyeonhuigung and when we left the palace grounds it was very clear something wanted us out of there.

This ghost tour was really interesting and fun. Shawn is really passionate by his job and we can feel it through his stories. Now i know when to move to Seoul, how to not having my shoes stolen and how announce my venue at the restroom without disturbing ghosts 😆. Also the walking in Seoul by night was nice too.

It’s tough to get the right ambience in such a bustling, modern city but this great walking tour does it. Our guide Shawn is very knowledgeable in Korean folklore and is a strong story teller. This tour is less about creepy scares than it is about keeping local culture and history alive, and at that it’s a big success

We really enjoyed this tour, walking around the city at night with a really fun and knowledgeable guide was a fantastic way to learn about Seoul. We learnt lots of cool history old and new. He told just couple of really chilling ghost stories but we would have liked a few more! Definitely recommend this tour 👻🇰🇷

Great evening spent wandering through seoul listening to our guide Shawn explain the cultural locations and the otherworldly ties Koreans have with the city. It was a fascinating experience learning how the superstitions and reverence Korean culture has for ghosts and spirits applies to daily life. Aside from the ghostly subject matter there is also a some great information on local customs and lifestyle and the buildings and monuments we walked past. I would highly recommend it.

This was a really interesting way to learn about the history of Seoul. Joe does a great job with weaving history with folklore. There are two different tours that his company does, so I'll have to make sure to try the other one next time. Well worth the booking!

Great experience, one of the highlights of my trip to Korea. And it wouldn't have been as fun and interesting without a great guide like Joe. I would absolutely do it again.
