Things to do in Ulsan

MR KIM DONGHYEON (DK), is an all around tour guide. He’s both a good driver and a great guide. He’s very good command of the English language and he knows the history of the Tongdosa Temple well. He’s accommodating and smiling a lot helps with very cold weather 2026/01/02. The recommended lunch place was great. Very cheap yet very delicious (맛있어요). Hope I wrote it correctly. Then there’s Gamcheon Culture Village, BTS Army will love this place. There’s a mural of JIMIN and JUNGKOOK. There’s the Little Prince statue, not related to the book. And the view is very beautiful. If not for the very cold weather, I think we would have stayed a little longer. We finally finished the tour at around 19:30, which was over the tour time. If it was another guide, I think the tour would have been cut short. That’s why kudos to DK for putting up with the group. 👍👍👍And one more thing, the Amethyst Cavern was not included, it’s not worth it. Unless you have little children in the group then it’s okay. 😐

We had an amazing day trip to Gyeongju thanks to our driver-guide, Namgyu. He was incredibly professional, polite, and patient throughout the entire journey. During our trip, he brought us to Seokguram Grotto, Bulguksa Temple, Yangdong Folk Village, Woljeonggyo Bridge and more! He even recommended beautiful photo spots we would not have discovered on our own. He also helped us take lovely family photos, which we truly appreciate. What stood out the most was how kind and thoughtful he was toward our elderly parents. He communicated with them gently, checked on them often, and even offered to accompany our dad when he got tired so that the rest of us could continue exploring comfortably. His sincerity and care made a huge difference to our experience. We are very grateful for his service and happy to have met him. Thank you, Namgyu, for making our trip so memorable. Please continue to stay positive and keep up the wonderful work — travellers like us are lucky to have guides like you.

The yoga and meditation experience in the secluded, nature-rich mountains of Ulleunggun was a chance to heal my body and mind from everyday life. I felt new energy permeate from the sky, and I was able to rediscover my true self. This private tour for just my family of three was wonderful; the tour guide's attentiveness was directly felt, and the time spent in the car and on the beach overlooking the East Sea and the Sea of Japan was the best.

Hamee our guide is wonderful! Such a wonderful day trip with lovely scenery and food! Thank you!
