The Tour That Started It All

This is the side of Seoul that you won’t find in the tourism brochures. Take a walking tour down the dark alleys of the forgotten 600-year history of bloody massacres, seedy hideaways, and mourning ghosts.

Clairvoyants on the tour have reported that we also have a few vaporous guests who join us. Keep an eye out for them. Guests will receive a measure of protection from certain Japanese ghosts.

The original weekend walk explores what’s so exciting and intriguing about Korean history. Meeting outside Anguk Station exit 2, he guides you through twisting alleys and weird landmarks. Highlights include the following:

• The site of a royal massacre
• The remains of a general’s home that had a bloody ending
• Unhyeongung Royal Residence and the notorious ruler who lived there
• The former red light district of Jongno 3-ga
• The sexual energy focused in Tapgol Park
• How Pimatgol Alley aided the 1987 democracy movement
• A surprising historic international landmark that Seoulites are unaware of
• Water related ghost stories while strolling down the Cheonggyecheon Stream
• A bridge that tells the story of revenge
• PLUS tales and warnings of ghosts sightings on the tour itself

The EXTENDED EDITION also includes

• The assassination of Queen Min
• Seoul’s most haunted intersection
