Review for: Pickup & Drop-off in Gyeongju (8 hour Tour)

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Lily was very informative and answered any questions we had. It was my mom, her friend, and my first time in Gyeongju (except for my husband). We learned so much and we were able to take our time to enjoy the places that we visited! I would do this private tour again in a heartbeat! 😊

Austin was our guide and took great care of us. He was personable, knowledgeable about each stop on our tour and took pictures of us. He took us to a great lunch place and really loved getting to see a couple spots lit up at night. The time flew by and no one was bored, the perfect tour and tour guide.

We had a fantastic time with our guide Mimi. She was an excellent host and guide for us, sharing her love and enthusiam for the history, culture, sites (including the best picture spots), and quirks of Korea and the places we visited. Not only that, but our ten year old daughter who can be a bit… trying at times, reveled in the encouragement she got from her new bestie and had a blast all day long. Can only speak to Mimi and our experience of course, but A+ based on that!

We did an outstanding full-day tour of Gyeongju yesterday with Joy and it was one of the highlights of our stay in Korea. The itinerary was very well designed, showing us a great variety of amazing historical sites without ever feeling rushed. Our guide Joy was extremely knowledgeable, shared a lot of context and stories, and always adapted his explanations to keep our teenager engaged and interested in the culture. The car was very comfortable and spotless, which made the transfers between sites really pleasant. This tour was perfect for a family with culture‑loving teens, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to discover Gyeongju in depth in just one day.

Jina was absolutely amazing from start to finish! she reached out a couple of days before our appointment to confirm our arrangements. Our daughter had a little side quest she wanted to do in Gyeongju and Jina happily agreed to it. She clearly is knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the area and she is very hospitable to our family. She definitely sets the bar as far as a guide!

Alan was our tour guide for Gyeongju. This was our day trip from Busan. Alan texted me via WhatsApp the day before to confirm the booking and he sent over a photo of his license plate number so we can easily identify the vehicle. On the day of the tour, he arrived promptly. He was a great tour guide with a great knowledge base of the city and its history. We were a group of 7 (4 of the adults were age 65+). He made sure we took timely breaks and was very patient with our elderly family members. He was also excellent at managing time so that we could get back to Busan on time. All 7 of us had a wonderful time in Gyeongju with Alan as our tour guide.

Alan was an excellent tour guide. He was incredibly accommodating from the start, prioritized our preferences and desires, and was a very pleasant throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable about all our questions and had the perfect amount of content that he shared with us. We are a family of 5 with 2 parents and 3 young adults and he was accommodating for all of us. We would all highly recommend a tour with him!

We had a great day with JB as our guide. The company was even able to procure a child seat for our little one. The program lasted 8 hours, we were not rushed at any point and we could decide what we want to see and what to skip. The pickup and dropoff were directly at the hotel. JB also picked a great place for lunch for us.
