Ethan gives a great introduction into the role of shamanism in Korean society. The great views on Seoul by night are a fantastic bonus 😀. Enough stops to catch your breath while climbing the mountain, so no worries

Die Tour „Verborgenes Seoul – Schamanismus, Mythen und heilige Berge“ hat mir persönlich sehr gut gefallen und war für mich eine besondere Erfahrung. Unser Guide war unglaublich sympathisch, höflich und zuvorkommend und hat die Themen mit viel Wissen, aber gleichzeitig sehr lebendig, anschaulich und interessant vermittelt. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, mit wie viel Respekt und Feingefühl er über den koreanischen Schamanismus, seine Geschichte und seine Bedeutung für die koreanische Kultur gesprochen hat. Dadurch konnte ich eine ganz andere und tiefere Seite der koreanischen Kultur kennenlernen. Eine wirklich interessante und empfehlenswerte Tour!

I really enjoyed the tour with Ethan. I liked the communication and updates before the tour. He was very knowledgeable, kind and prepared. I also did the shamanic reading and it was exactly what I needed to hear. She read my heart and my mind and was so kind and generous. Would highly recommend!

Highlights

This guided walking tour explores Korean shamanism on Inwangsan, one of the most spiritually important mountains in Seoul. Follow forest trails to hidden shrines and see real offerings left by locals as you learn how Koreans connect with spirits, nature and fate. At Guksadang, the best-known shamanic shrine in Seoul, hear about traditional rituals, shamans and the role they still play in Korean society today. Choose the extended version for a private 1:1 fortune-telling session with a real shaman, with interpretation.
