5.00Ethan Led us on an exciting adventure into Korean spiritualism - with added history and wonderful tales of the Mountain and the Shamans that regularly visit and practise there. The mountain was beautiful, views of the city incredible and the tales of the spirits were thrilling. We saw places of worship and prayer and places steeped in ancient folklore. I also had a incredibly accurate and wonderful private reading with a Shaman - an experience never to forget.
Wonderful spiritual experience.

5.00Ethan was a great tour guide. Lots of history of Shamanism. The hike up the mountain was steep but he took great care of our group with resting places. I received an insightful reading from a baksu.
A truly unique and spectacular tour!

5.00This tour was a wonderful opportunity to delve into Korean Shamanism and learn more about the importance and significance of Inwangsan in Korean culture. Ethan, our tour guide, was personable, knowledgable and an engaging storyteller. The trek up the mountain is quite steep, and there are a lot of stairs which are at times very uneven, but Ethan was conscientious and courteous allowing plenty of breaks to catch your breath whilst he told us stories. Plus, the views of Seoul from the mountainside were spectacular! The small group size meant the tour felt intimate and respectful as we visited a popular shrine, where locals were praying. I can’t recommend the Shaman reading add on enough - a truly unique, once in a lifetime opportunity for those who are curious about Shamanism and spirituality. Thank you Ethan for such a deeply enlightening tour, and for being so friendly!
Do it!!!!
