    Great, just great. Took us to a more than a couple of hidden gems, all the while educating and entertaining us with some fantastic storytelling an encyclopedic knowledge of Korea's folklore, urban legends and how those all fit - or don't - into Seoul's modern soul and story. The tour doesn't take you any further than most can manage, both physically and emotionally, and the time flies by. Comes with advice on what to do if you pick up a travelling spirit or two through the course of the evening...

    My husband and I had an awesome time walking around and listening to ghost stories! Seoul is a different world at night I'm glad we got to explore it through a different lens. Thank you Shawn! I bought both of your books and have already listened to several episodes of your podcast while flying back home. Really hope I could come again and experience the extended tour! Would also love to take a tour with Joe too!

    I wanted to do something different in Seoul and opted for the extended night tour...some of the places you are taken are quite creepy at night (the last stop at the palace especially) and this was exactly what I was looking for. I loved hearing about some of the gore and torture and also the stories about the privacy curtains ha ha ha!!! Our guide was able to adapt to the fact that we had a couple of kids on our tour and he did well to keep them engaged as well as pitching it so that us adults still got something out of it too.
