Ημιήμερη Ξενάγηση Σαμανισμού της Σεούλ στην Κορέα

Ethan was a wonderful guide and so well informed, not only on shamanism but also the history and culture of Korea. He emphasised having an open mind so you knew that the tour was a safe space! We were able to make a wish at the top of the mountain which was a lovely calming experience. Even if you are not a spiritual person, this tour will show you a new side to Seoul, you will be able to emerce yourself in nature, see beautiful views, learn about the history and stories of Korea.

One of the most unique and memorable experiences you can have in Korea—this tour is absolutely worth booking! Even though we arrived late and missed Ethan's email, he was very understanding and still welcomed us to the experience. The tour was engaging, educational, and gave us a deeper understanding of Korean shamanism and its cultural significance. Along the way, we enjoyed beautiful views and a cool evening breeze, which made the atmosphere even more special. I learned so much, had a great time, and left with a newfound respect for the culture. If you want to experience a side of Korea beyond the usual tourist attractions, don't miss this tour!

Αυτή ήταν μια από τις πιο μοναδικές εμπειρίες που είχα στη Σεούλ. Η περιπατητική ξενάγηση στο Inwangsan διήρκεσε περίπου δύο ώρες και ο ρυθμός ήταν πολύ άνετος. Ο ξεναγός μας, ο Ethan, φρόντισε όλοι να μπορούν να ξεκουραστούν κατά τη διάρκεια της ανάβασης, οπότε ποτέ δεν ένιωσα ότι βιαζόμασταν. Η πεζοπορία είναι όμορφη, και τα ψηλότερα σημεία προσφέρουν μια εκπληκτική θέα στο αστικό τοπίο της Σεούλ. Η ξενάγηση επικεντρώνεται στην κορεατική πνευματικότητα και την ιστορία του κορεατικού Σαμανισμού. Ο Ethan εξήγησε πώς οι σαμάνοι εκτελούν τελετουργίες, τιμούν τα πνεύματα και πώς αυτές οι παραδόσεις επηρεάζουν την κορεατική κουλτούρα σήμερα. Περάσαμε από ένα ιερό και ένα μικρό κατάστημα που πουλούσε αναμνηστικά και θυμίαμα. Το αποκορύφωμα ήταν μια προσωπική ανάγνωση από σαμάνο. Ο σαμάνος μοιράστηκε πληροφορίες για την ενέργειά μου και τον πνευματικό μου οδηγό, και ο Ethan μετέφρασε τα πάντα. Η εμπειρία φάνηκε αυθεντική και όχι σκηνοθετημένη για τουρίστες. Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα σε όποιον αναζητά την κορεατική κουλτούρα, την πνευματικότητα και μοναδικές εμπειρίες πέρα από τις τυπικές περιηγήσεις της Σεούλ.

Ethan did a phenomenal job pacing the tour and explaining the foundations of Korea and Korean Shamanism. I booked both the tour and the Shaman reading, and I highly recommend both. Ethan is a great storyteller, and by the time you reach the top, it hardly feels like a hike. Before booking, I had already researched Korean Shamanism and had many personal questions about things I had felt and experienced. Seeing the altars and sacred spaces in person gave deeper context, and the reading helped clarify and confirm many things for me. I was nervous about the unknown, but I felt strongly drawn to do it, and it was absolutely worth it. Knowing Korean helped, but it was not necessary since Ethan translated wonderfully and the Shaman also knew some English. This is a niche tour, but a deeply meaningful and eye-opening one. 10/10 recommend. ❤️ PS: At the reading, avoid asking about those who have passed unless truly necessary. It consumes energy, and Shamans are human too. 무당 선생님께 다시 한번 감사드립니다!

Ethan led us on a great tour of Ingwangsan and told us interesting stories about the history of Korean shamanism. I have trouble with stairs and there were so many in this tour, but he was patient and kind and made the whole tour very pleasant. I highly recommend the reading with the Shaman. She has great energy and has studied a lot. The trip went beyond my expectations. It was one of the best Klook tours I have taken.

The tour was nice & promptly - easy to follow. Ethan is our tour guide and he's very attentive to all of the guests, taking frequent breaks along the trails as the stairs quite steep & knowledgeable about the history of Seoul in general & deep stories about shamanism & we got to see the rituals today as well! Definitely once in a lifetime experience to see where the locals go & learn about the history & especially the people! I also did the shaman reading which the shaman is very lovely & Ethan is very patiently explaining to me about my reading which was another experience I've never tried before! 10/10 recommended! Thank you so much for such a lovely tour!!

Once in a lifetime experience, this is a tour you must go if you love Korean culture. You get to learn some of Korea origin, and the existence of Shamanism. The readings from the master was accurate imo, and I wish I could speak Korean to converse properly with him. Ethan was great in guiding us through the mountain, and explained things well and clear. Great interpretation too. I would definitely participate again and drag my friends along next time.

Absolutely unforgettable experience! This half-day shamanism tour was one of the most unique and meaningful experiences of my trip. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and explained the history, symbolism, and cultural significance of Korean shamanism in such an engaging way. I loved how the tour balanced storytelling, local traditions, and real-life insights, making it feel authentic rather than touristy. It gave me a much deeper understanding of Korean spirituality and heritage that you wouldn’t get from visiting places on your own. Everything was well-organized, smooth, and enjoyable, and the half-day length was perfect—rich in content without feeling rushed. I left feeling inspired and grateful for the chance to experience something so special. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea who wants to discover a fascinating side of the culture beyond the usual attractions!

Ethan was the perfect guide for the tour. He shared really interesting stories and provided context for everything we saw. He made sure to take breaks whenever we asked and guided us all the way to the top of the mountain while keeping us engaged and interested throughout the entire tour. By the end, I left with a much deeper understanding of Korean shamanism.

Ethan was the brainchild behind this tour and an awesome guide. He’s a wonderful storyteller who really knows how to set the mood as you ascend the mountain and immerse yourself in its mystical atmosphere. The place has a really strong spiritual energy, and if you’re someone who’s sensitive to these things, you might just feel a thing or two. I decided to consult a shaman during the tour, and I have absolutely no regrets. It was such a fun and unique experience, and the shaman definitely gave me some new perspectives on life. Would highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something a little different, meaningful, and memorable!
