Seül: Tour a peu per les joies ocultes de la nit

Em vaig unir a aquest tour a peu el meu primer dia a Seül i vaig tenir una experiència encantadora. Va ser una manera fantàstica d'orientar-me per la ciutat. Només un consell: assegureu-vos de portar calçat còmode, ja que hi ha molts turons costeruts i escales per recórrer!

Originalment vaig reservar per divendres a la nit, però el viatge es va cancel·lar a causa de la pluja. La June em va ajudar a reprogramar-lo per diumenge al vespre. La nostra guia, l'Erin, va ser excel·lent. Ens va donar instruccions detallades sobre la cultura coreana, la història de la zona que vam visitar i fins i tot ens va preparar repel·lent de mosquits. No puc agrair-li prou la meravellosa passejada nocturna pel Parc Naksan i Hyehwa. Recomano molt aquest viatge a les persones que visiten Seül.

Such a great casual tour and a good way to get your steps in for the day. Leah was my guide and she did amazing answering everyone’s questions and leading the way. Good opportunity for photos.

El Seoul Moonlight Walking Tour va ser un dels millors tours que hem fet a Corea. Leah va ser una guia excel·lent, molt amable i amb molts coneixements. Vam caminar per un "poble de la lluna" on ens va explicar la seva història. Després vam pujar per l'escala famosa en molts K-Drames, on vam arribar a una vista fenomenal de Seül des de la muralla de la ciutat de Seül i el Parc Naksan.

Recomano molt la visita a la llum de la lluna. A més de les vistes increïbles de Seül, aprendràs molt sobre la història i la cultura coreana antiga, així com els reptes moderns que afronten els coreans avui dia. El nostre guia, l'Ethan, tenia un gran sentit de l'humor i va poder presentar al grup molts llocs interessants sense que ens sentíssim apressats. També va donar al grup recomanacions de menjar i altres possibles zones d'interès al voltant de Seül, amb indicacions sobre com arribar-hi.

Gràcies, Lee-ah (perdona la mala ortografia), per portar-nos no només a una passejada increïble, sinó per explicar-nos tantes històries, tant històriques com actuals, darrere del que vam veure. Espero que aquella finestra a Seül des de la foto del mur justifiqui la teva caminada.

Jessica’s walking tour was an incredible way to experience Seoul beyond the usual tourist spots. She guided us through hidden corners of the city, sharing fascinating stories about local culture and everyday life. One of the highlights was her insight into popular K‑dramas, a few filming spots and some history Jessica explained the history of Ewha Village and how it became known for its murals, even though today it feels much quieter. Her storytelling gave us a deeper appreciation of the community’s past and how it shaped the neighborhood. The walk itself includes some steep climbs, especially around Naksan Park and the City Wall, so be prepared — wear comfortable shoes and bring water. The effort is well worth it, as the nighttime views of Seoul are absolutely breathtaking. Jessica’s warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm made the tour feel personal and authentic. This is a must‑do experience for anyone wanting to discover Seoul’s hidden beauty under the moonlight.

Heavy rain happened after the tour commenced which affected a but the experience. Meanwhile, the guide was professional in handling the situation and shared lots of Korean cultural stuffs with the group to kill some time waiting for a less heavy rain. Topics shared such as local university culture are quite in-depth and the walk to Namshan Park and the old city wall does show a view of Seoul beyond its contemporary aspect.

We have a lovely experience with Jun. The tour requires a bit of walking but you’ll be stopping frequently so you’ll have plenty of time to rest. We got to see amazing seoul views as well as learn more about korean society/residents of seoul.

We had a very interesting and memorable tour of Seoul with Smin. She shared a lot of insightful facts about the city—how it has evolved over time, and what life is like for people living there today. We especially appreciated how she talked about the pressures many people face, particularly students. It gave us a deeper understanding of Korean society beyond just the sights. One of the highlights was going up to Namsan Park to see the beautiful night view of Seoul. Smin’s realistic and honest way of explaining things made the experience feel very genuine and meaningful. What made the tour even more special was that after it ended, Smin joined us and took us to her favorite chicken restaurant. It was such a kind gesture and a great way to end the evening. All in all, it was a very good tour. We’re thankful to Smin for sharing her time, knowledge, and a bit of her local life with us.
