“Amazing KPop Demon Hunters Tour”
Sally was an incredible tour guide who did a fantastic job taking us to important scenes from the film (she had the scenes available on her iPad to show us we were indeed at the same staircase, viewpoint, etc) while also weaving in Korean history and culture. She was able to fully customize our tour and adapt on the fly as we ended up only having 5 hours in Seoul (it was a cruise stop for us from Incheon) and the Seoul Marathon was on. We highly recommend Sally and will book her for other tours when we’re in Seoul for a longer visit. If you / your children are into K-pop I’d suggest considering adding HiKR Ground to your itinerary

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed visiting the film locations and it’s always fun to match the exact spots together! :D I also appreciate your cooperation with the time constraints and the Seoul Marathon. I would love to welcome you again in the future. Wishing you and your family wonderful travels ahead!
