Prohlídky Cheomseongdae

November 2nd, family of 3, Korean (Wendy). We were so lucky to meet Ryu, a passionate and energetic guide! Thanks to guide Ryu, we successfully wrapped up a happy and enjoyable Gyeongju one-day tour on November 2nd. Out of 41 people from various countries, there were only 3 Koreans. Managing and leading people from multiple countries couldn't have been easy, yet he paid attention to even the small details for solo travelers, constantly asked for feedback from everyone after every destination, checked if anything was needed, and even had the sensitivity to carefully ask solo travelers if they were comfortable joining others for meals. Above all, while giving explanations in English at each destination, he also looked after the youngest guests—a 2-3 year-old child and a Japanese mother-son duo who applied alone—and even showed the passion of holding and playing with the child. I wanted to applaud his dedication in taking care of all 41 people. Even though the meeting spots and times were explained slowly and repeatedly, and an unexpected situation arose with 4 foreign travelers telling the guide to come and go elsewhere, guide Ryu did not panic, safely gathered the majority first so as not to keep everyone waiting, and must have been exhausted searching everywhere for the 4 people, yet he kept his smile until the end and found them at Bulguksa Temple—I was truly moved. He considered everyone's pace, including the elderly, young children, and kids, while walking. I would like to express my gratitude once again for guide Ryu's thoughtfulness and sincerity in trying to teach our child, who didn't fully understand the English used during transit, even one more historical fact. Thanks to our guide, we will definitely book with RedTours again next time. I am sending my belated applause for your passion, and please stay healthy.

Byl to vynikající výlet do Gyeongju, který v sobě zahrnoval mnoho dalších úžasných míst. Začali jsme v působivém bambusovém lese Ahopsan a poté jsme pokračovali k chrámu Bulguksa. Spolu s barevným podzimním listím jsme se prošli k tajemným hrobkám (Daerungwon) a také jsme se prošli po půvabném vodním mostě (Woljeonggyo) v Gyeongju Hanok Village. Jako třešničku na tortu jsme návštěvu zakončili u paláce Wolji. Je škoda, že jsme se museli vrátit při západu slunce a nemohli jsme zůstat, abychom viděli palác osvětlený.

Dnešek byl tak zábavný a udělali jsme spoustu skvělých fotek. Zatím v Koreji hraji roli „turistického průvodce“, ale je to mnohem méně stresující, když je všechno takto naplánované. Drželi jsme se daného harmonogramu, ale na některých místech jsme dostali na výběr z několika možností. Doporučuji připlatit si 3 000 wonů u hrobových náspů, abyste viděli artefakty v tom, které bylo vykopáno. Místo prohlídky dalších náspů jsme se rozhodli prozkoumat ulici v Gyeongju. Je tu spousta roztomilých obchůdků a stánků s uličním jídlem! Joseph byl vzdělaný, když jsme měli otázky, a byl velmi přátelský a trpělivý! Překvapilo mě, jak rychle se naučil naše jména. Jsem ráda, že jsme si tento zájezd vybrali jako součást našich svatebních cest!

Mr. Park was an excellent guide who tried to answer all of our questions. When it started raining, he lent me his umbrella, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. He was very friendly, and I’m glad we had him as our guide.

Went on a tour with Antony and a group of other tourists from all over the world. We visited Bulguksa Temple, Seokguram Grotto, Daereungwon Ancient Tomb, Cheomseongdae Observatory, Hanok Village, and the Gyeongju National Museum. It was so great doing this with a guide! It would be impossible to do using public transport. Antony gave concise and interesting explanations about all the highlights. Communication was handled via the app. For instance, we were picked up right in front of our hotel and dropped back off there. Before lunch, we were asked what we felt like eating and were given a set amount of time before the tour resumed. All in all, it was a carefree, relaxing, and wonderful day! Thank you so much!

Prohlídka byla naprosto skvělá! Jsme nesmírně vděční, že naším průvodcem byl Hans. Byl to velmi slušný, úctyhodný, pozorný a neuvěřitelně znalý člověk. Všechno nám srozumitelně vysvětlil a zajistil, že celý zážitek byl poučný a zároveň zábavný. Hans udělal mnohem víc, než se od něj očekávalo – pomohl nám najít nejlepší místa na focení a dokonce nás fotil, přičemž dbal na to, aby byl během celé prohlídky každý dobře informovaný. Jeho laskavost, profesionalita a smysl pro detail opravdu udělaly velký rozdíl. Jelikož jsem tu byl poprvé, jsem obzvláště vděčný, že Hans pomohl vytvořit tak nezapomenutelný zážitek pro moji ženu i pro mě. Skvěle jsme se bavili a lepšího průvodce jsme si nemohli přát. Hansa budu svým přátelům rozhodně doporučovat! Ještě jednou moc děkuji, Hansi, za tak fantastickou, zábavnou a nezapomenutelnou prohlídku. Díky tobě byl náš zážitek opravdu jedinečný! 😊

Robin is the best guide/driver/photographer for this tour. Aside from the beautiful places, a bit of history was shared too. The good reco for lunch was superb.

The Gyeongju one-day tour was a wonderful experience! I visited many fascinating places rich in history and impressive architecture, surrounded by beautiful golden autumn leaves that made Gyeongju even more charming. Despite the persistent rain caused by the typhoon, the trip became an unforgettable adventure and gave me unique memories to cherish. A special thank you to our tour guide, Lee Byung-kyun, who was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and helpful throughout the journey. His kindness and dedication made the experience much more enjoyable despite the challenging weather. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Korea's rich history, culture, and beautiful autumn scenery. I would love to visit Gyeongju again on a sunny day to fully enjoy everything this beautiful city has to offer! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After deciding to visit Gyeongju, I compared many tours, and choosing this one in the end was so worth it! 👍 We visited all the important attractions, and Jesse, acting as photographer, driver, and tour guide all at once, was extremely professional. He told us stories and even gave us pose instructions when taking pictures, so we didn't have to worry about feeling awkward~ What was most thoughtful was that while we were waiting in line to take photos at Daereungwon, the sun was quite strong, and Jesse actually brought out a large umbrella to shield us from the sun!! He even noticed details like that, and I am truly grateful to them ☺️ Additionally, although lunch was not included in the tour fee, Jesse recommended several different types of restaurants for us to choose from~ And of course, the recommended restaurants were also delicious!! There was plenty of time to explore Hwangridan-gil~ For someone like me who loves to wander around, this was fantastic! In short, if you want to visit all the important attractions in one day while also getting many beautiful photos, please don't hesitate and just sign up! This trip to Gyeongju was definitely the most worthwhile and happiest day of my entire journey~ 🩵🤍
