“I really enjoyed this haunted tour! The route was very well planned – not tiring at all, easy to follow, and full of atmosphere. Beyond the well-known spooky legends, I also learned interesting details about Seoul and Korean culture, which made it much richer than I expected. Our guide was fantastic – so engaging when telling the stories that at times it felt like the ghosts might actually appear around the corner. 👻 A great mix of history, legend, and a few chills. Definitely recommended if you like your culture with a touch of the supernatural.”

Dress in hanbok, explore Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon, and finish in Insadong on a four-hour Seoul walking tour with no shopping stops.
“Completely disorganized. We started at the hanbok store and spent almost an hour waiting in line to get dressed. Then we are told they don’t have time to do my wife’s hair or make-up even though we already paid.
