KPop Demon Hunters Tour in Seoul

Side by side

Both tours last 8 hours and both cancel free up to 24 hours ahead. The price gap pays for the Gangnam leg, the entertainment company stop and a sit-down snack dinner.

Ratings so far

K-Pop Demon Hunters Filming Location Tour by Seoul City Tour holds a 5 out of 5 rating from 6 reviews. Guests mention a private car between the film locations and a guide who explains Korean history along the way. Seoul Tour: Tracing the World of K-POP Demon Hunters by Sunny Seoul Korea Tour has no reviews yet, so you book it on the route rather than on past guests.

The main spots, how to reach them and what to shoot

Go to Gyeongbokgung Palace early in the morning. VisitKorea lists the palace as closed on Tuesdays, so do not plan a palace day then. At COEX, shoot the giant LED screens from the Exit A square on a weekday, since weekends get crowded.

What the places stand for in the film

Seoul Sky sits at 555 meters in Lotte World Tower and served as the reference for where HUNTR/X live. Visit Seoul calls it Huntrix's Soulspot and calls N Seoul Tower the Saja Boys' Soulspot. Bukchon Hanok Village, Gyeongbokgung and Naksan Park give the film its old Seoul streets and city wall views.

The palace and Namsan route

K-Pop Demon Hunters Filming Location Tour picks you up at your hotel and moves the group by car. The stops are Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon Hanok Village, Naksan Park, N Seoul Tower and Myeongdong, each a guided visit with time for photos. The guide shares stories and local legends behind the scenes.

Itineraries can change on the day, and the meeting point depends on the option you pick.

The Gangnam to old Seoul route

Seoul Tour: Tracing the World of K-POP Demon Hunters starts with pickup at Seonleung or City Hall Station and a van transfer. The group sees the COEX LED displays, Gangnam and SM Entertainment HQ, then walks a stretch of Seoul's fortress wall. The route goes on through Bukchon Hanok Village to an observatory near N Seoul Tower with city views like the film's climax, and ends with dinner.

The tour finishes in Insa-dong. For what fans can and cannot do at the agency, read our SM Entertainment building guide.

What each price covers

K-Pop Demon Hunters Filming Location Tour at $108 per person covers a licensed guide, transport, Gyeongbokgung admission, the Seoul Tower cable car, a kimbap or hotdog, and hotel pickup and drop-off. The listing marks the cable car as the only Seoul Tower ticket in the price, so check whether the observatory lift is covered before you go up.

Seoul Tour: Tracing the World of K-POP Demon Hunters at $193 per person covers a licensed guide, the round-trip transfer, the admission fees on its itinerary, one-day travel insurance and a dinner of bunsik, Korean snack food such as tteokbokki, gimbap and ramyeon. Anything not listed is not included, and lunch is not mentioned, so carry money for a midday meal.

What you pay for yourself

On both days, budget for drinks, extra food and merch. Myeongdong stalls sell unofficial Derpy Tiger plushies and keychains, and the cheaper tour stops in Myeongdong.

Book a tour if

You have one day for the film and do not want to work out transfers between Jongno, Namsan and Gangnam. You travel with family: K-Pop Demon Hunters Filming Location Tour comes with hotel pickup and its listing marks it wheelchair accessible. You want a guide in Chinese, English or Japanese, which the cheaper tour offers.

You want the Gangnam side of the story, which only Seoul Tour: Tracing the World of K-POP Demon Hunters covers.

Skip it or choose carefully if

You travel with children under 7: Seoul Tour: Tracing the World of K-POP Demon Hunters is not suitable for them. You want to drink or smoke along the way, which that tour does not allow. You prefer to explore at your own pace: Visit Seoul publishes free hallyu courses, among them Saja Boys' Soulspot at Namsan Seoul Tower, Huntrix's Soulspot at Lotte World Tower and COEX K-POP Square, and the tourist line 1330 answers questions in English.

Bring comfortable shoes and water on either tour.

Pick by what matters to you

Seeing everything

No single tour covers every place in the film. Seoul Sky in Lotte World Tower is on neither route, so add it on your own from Jamsil Station Exit 2 on Line 2. Fans with two days can book one tour and walk the rest from the locations table above.

Where to eat like HUNTR/X

Ramyun Library lets you pick from 255 ramyun options, a good start for fans who want to eat like HUNTR/X. After dark, walk Myeongdong Night Market for corn dogs and kimbap. On a tour, K-Pop Demon Hunters Filming Location Tour includes a kimbap or hotdog and ends in Myeongdong, while Seoul Tour: Tracing the World of K-POP Demon Hunters serves a bunsik dinner of tteokbokki, gimbap and ramyeon.

Official, unofficial and the photo stop

If you want licensed goods, order them from the Netflix store rather than hunting for them in Seoul. The Myeongdong stalls sell unofficial Derpy Tiger plushies and keychains, fine as a souvenir. Korea Mart next to Myeongdong subway station has a themed cardboard cutout for photos.

For general K-pop goods, Visit Seoul lists K-Pop Square Hongdae and COEX K-POP Square among its hallyu courses.
