Poldenná prehliadka kórejského šamanizmu v Soule so sprievodcom

Toto bol jeden z najunikátnejších zážitkov, aké som mal v Soule. Pešia túra na Inwangsan trvala asi dve hodiny a tempo bolo veľmi pohodlné. Náš sprievodca Ethan sa uistil, že si každý mohol oddýchnuť počas výstupu, takže sme sa nikdy necítili uponáhľaní. Túra je krásna a vyššie vyhliadky ponúkajú úžasný pohľad na panorámu Soulu. Túra sa zameriava na kórejskú spiritualitu a históriu kórejského šamanizmu. Ethan vysvetlil, ako šamani vykonávajú rituály, uctievajú duchov a ako tieto tradície ovplyvňujú kórejskú kultúru dnes. Prešli sme okolo svätyne a malého obchodu predávajúceho suveníry a kadidlo. Vrcholom bolo osobné šamanské čítanie. Šaman sa podelil o poznatky o mojej energii a duchovnom sprievodcovi a Ethan všetko preložil. Zážitok pôsobil autenticky a nebol zinscenovaný pre turistov. Vrelo ho odporúčam každému, kto hľadá kórejskú kultúru, spiritualitu a jedinečné zážitky nad rámec typických prehliadok Soulu.

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!

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.

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 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!

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!!

Very impressive tour that guide around area that tourist probably never head to on their own - also very authentic and not those setted ground for tourism purpose. Ethan is a vivid, energetic, patient and caring storyteller that has in-depth knowledge towards Korean folklore and Shamanism, who are always willing to share his knowledge and recieve random questions from the group. In addition, it is lucky to have joined the optional Shaman reading experience. Being able to visit a Shaman and having one-to-one session to experience the spiritual culture is one of the most unforgettable part of my Seoul trip. Highly recommended for those who are looking for beyond-typical experience in Seoul.

Fue una experiencia increíble. Como alguien interesada en el chamanismo y la espiritualidad cumplió con todas mis expectativas. Ethan fue muy detallista, nos contactó con anticipación para darnos toda la información necesaria, ajustó el horario para que todos pudiéramos vivir la experiencia completa y durante todo el recorrido nos dió una explicación muy interesante sobre el lugar, sobre historia coreana y sobre la cultura del chamanismo. Durante el recorrido pudimos orar para pedir un deseo y a pesar de ser una montaña no se sintió pesado porque nos dió las pausas necesarias para descansar. Definitivamente lo recomiendo altamente y volvería a tomar el tour completo en mi próxima visita a Corea.

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.

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.
