This is an excellent well maintained park. We went on a weekday at the beginning of summer and there were no queues! Kids we’re able to get on the same rides multiple times. They pretty much tried every ride in the park. Worth a visit. Great park!

What I liked about this tour was that there were many things to see! Each monument was explained well by our tour guide, Katrina, who was also friendly during the process too! My favorite part of the tour was definitely Bulguksa Temple where we got told to touch the golden pig for good luck in our life :) Also, it was recommended to us to buy Gyeongju bread to take home which I appreciated. The tour guide was detailed in recommendations for restaurants and cafes. Not only is this one of the cheaper tours on Klook, but also one of the tours that are worth your money. There are so many opportunities for photo ops but also to learn something along the way. Five to six places are a lot for one day but it was enjoyable! Thank you Katrina, Kari, and the bus driver for everything!

I joined this Gyeongju tour from Busan right in the middle of autumn and it was absolutely beautiful. Every place we visited: from Bulguksa Temple, Woljeonggyo Bridge to Daewangam… looked magical under the golden leaves. Our guide, Mr Park Jeong Ho, was kind, knowledgeable and caring the whole day. He explained everything clearly and made sure everyone was comfortable. It was such a relaxing and memorable trip, highly recommend!

This is a really new pass I used it for my trip to gyeonju in the last slide I've written my itinerary where you can get free things and discounts. These are the places you would usually visit in gyeonju so I think it's pretty good. Must do : hanbok for 4 hours use and luge are really worth the price

Affordable! It's really worthwhile to rent for a whole day! It's still in time to walk to Daereungwon, Gyochon, Woljeonggyo Bridge and back all day (we left the store at 12 o'clock and returned to the store at 18:30, and every place is super good to take pictures). The style of hanbok is very satisfying! There are hanboks of various sizes. If you are a girl over 168cm tall, there are fewer styles to choose from, such as the gradient long skirts on the website, but there are still many! It's enough for us to choose. There are about 20~30 modern hanboks for those over 168cm tall, and there are also traditional hanboks. Choose a long skirt on site first, then match your top, and the staff will help you put it on. You may need to take off your top to dress. The clothes you change can be locked in the store's cabinet. We stayed in the store for almost an hour and a half to choose and wear them because it was difficult to choose directly www, and each one looked good. The store will help with hair, and there are three hair styles to choose from, which is very fast. You can also choose a bag, you can put your phone and wallet in it to take pictures and feel safe~ Finally, a warm reminder, please remember to bring an umbrella, because we will be dark when we go back. The store will ask us to send the photos to them through the line method for them to be developed. We need to send them one hour before returning to the store, otherwise they will not have time to develop them.
