Seoul: Nattvandring til skjulte perler

Jeg ble med på denne vandreturen på min første dag i Seoul og hadde en herlig opplevelse. Det var en flott måte å orientere meg i byen på. Bare et tips: sørg for å bruke komfortable sko, da det er mange bratte bakker og trapper å forsere!

Jeg bestilte opprinnelig for fredag kveld, men turen ble avlyst på grunn av regnet. June hjalp meg med å ombooke den til søndag kveld. Guiden vår, Erin, var utmerket. Hun ga oss grundige instruksjoner om koreansk kultur, historien til området vi besøkte, og forberedte til og med myggmiddel for oss. Jeg kan ikke takke henne nok for den fantastiske kveldsvandringen i Naksan Park og Hyehwa. Jeg anbefaler denne turen på det sterkeste til folk som besøker Seoul.

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.

Seoul Moonlight Walking Tour var en av de beste turene vi har tatt i Korea. Leah var en utmerket turguide, veldig vennlig og kunnskapsrik. Vi gikk gjennom en "månelandsby" hvor hun delte historien. Deretter gikk vi opp trappen som er kjent fra mange K-dramaer, hvor vi så ankom en fenomenal utsikt over Seoul fra bymuren og Naksan Park.

Anbefaler virkelig måneskinnsturen. I tillegg til den fantastiske utsikten over Seoul, vil du lære mye om eldre koreansk historie og kultur, samt de moderne utfordringene koreanere står overfor i dag. Guiden vår, Ethan, hadde en flott sans for humor og klarte å introdusere gruppen for mange interessante severdigheter uten at det føltes stressende. Han ga også gruppen anbefalinger for mat og andre potensielle interessante områder rundt Seoul, med veibeskrivelse om hvordan man kommer seg dit.

Takk, Lee-ah (unnskyld feil staving), for at du tok oss med på en fantastisk tur, og for at du fortalte oss de mange historiene, både historiske og moderne, bak det vi så. Håper det vinduet inn til Seoul fra veggbildet rettferdiggjør turen din.

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.
