    This tour was everything I had hoped it would be and more. Shawn is a wonderful guide who combines his extensive research into Korean folk tales with his own personal experience to give a wonderfully immersive experience. I learnt so much about Korean culture. When I come back I will be signing up for his Ghost walk

    I've already met Shawn on one of his other tours (The Dark Side of Seoul Ghost Tour) and I am impressed by his knowledge and talent of storytelling. This graveyard tour was combined with a little hike and we saw not only graves but also a lot Korean burying tradition throughout the centuries. And on top of the mountain you get an astonishing view with the sun setting. I loved everything about it and can highly recommend this tour as well!

    Me and my husband booked a private cemetery tour with guide Shawn. Because of the hot weather Shawn customized the tour to visit a different cemetery. It was a great and interesting experience for us. We learned a lot about Korean traditions. I had some fear it might be awkward with just the 3 of us but Shawn put us both at ease and it felt like being among friends. This is my 4th tour with Zenkimchi, the others were the dark side of Seoul tours, and when we return to Korea we'll definitely book again. Thanks again Shawn for an awesome day!

    This is my second tour with Shawn and he truly is an absolutely amazing tour guide. Not only is he knowledgeable about history and folklore, he makes it very interesting to learn and makes the tours fun and enjoyable. He really tries to get to know the tour joiners which makes the experience feel more personal. I'd highly recommend taking one of his tours!

    We had the pleasure of having Shawn as our tour guide for the Korean cemetery trip. This exceptionally knowledgeable folklorist brought ancient folklore and Korean traditions to life, weaving together stories that painted vivid pictures of the past. His passion for the subject was palpable, and his ability to connect history with cultural significance made the experience educational, moving and funny. Shawn's storytelling was enriched with fascinating details about the rituals, symbolism, and beliefs surrounding Korean burial traditions. He effortlessly answered every question with depth and enthusiasm, ensuring no curiosity went unanswered. I may dare to say that we parted as friends. 10/10 would recommend for anyone eager to learn and connect with history in a meaningful way.

    As a person who doesn't hike (or do any other sports) at all, I expected to struggle more on this tour. But the trek up was pleasant and Shawn, the guide, was excellent. I was the only customer that day and we had a great conversation about the folklore connected to burials and other things as well. And the views from the summit were stunning. Shawn made sure to adjust his pace to my needs and provided enough opportunities for rest. If you don't mind a bit of physical activity and want to learn more about folklore and traditions, I definitely recommend this tour.

  • A peaceful walk through history on the sunny side of the hills, in good company

    Shaun knows all the hills, the people who live here and the persons that are commemorated on the sunny side of the hills. The way they are buried reflects not only Korean tradition, but it also represent history and the changes in Korean society in recent decades. There are hidden graves, as for the sister of Sejong, the king who invented Hangeul, and there is the public cemetery, that is partly somewhat structured. I was able to offer Belgian chocolate to Shauns father-in-law, who is cremated and had a 'natural burial'. Plus, Shaun is really a nice person, so it’s fun to walk and talk with him!

    This is my 2nd tour with Shawn and company (ZenKimchi) just a few days after the 1st. I thought it would be hard to top the 1st tour but the Korean Cemetery and Folklore Trek was truly an adventure and one-of-a-kind. It was very educational and fun to learn about the folklore, customs, and beliefs of the people and how they changed over the years. It was very nice listening to Shawn’s perspective as well. The views of the countryside are beautiful. There were sightings of wildlife as well (deers, cats, and cute dogs) I felt safe at every point of the tour knowing there is a reliable expert bringing us around. I will definitely come for the tours again next year when I’m back in Korea.
