I had a fantastic time on this tour! Shawn was a great tour guide and had so much knowledge about the burial practices, folklore, and information about the area and Korea in general. I loved the stories and the great range of graves seen in age, size, and importance. It was hot our day and a bit of a hike, but Shawn made sure we were all good and made sure we had water and such before we left. You can really tell they worked hard on making this a great tour to add.

Fantastic tour! Prepare for a small hike, potentially through some over grown areas and some rocky/sandy inclines. Shawn is a wonderful storyteller and has no shortage of information! Definitely book this tour if you want to get out of the city, see some trees and learn about burial practices in Korea! Also highly recommend adding the chicken and beer to the end of your tour!

my second tour with shawn after the dark side of seoul and it was just as amazing. the stories and traditions were fascinating and very interesting to hear about. the hike was more challenging that i have expected, but only because of my inexperience in it. it was also very nice to see the city outside of seoul and hear about local routine and some traditions. i recommend this tour for anyone who loves unique experiences and enjoys nature, but highly suggest get a big bottle of water and wear longer pants to protect your legs
