Our family had the best time on this tour thanks to Jake! He was super knowledgeable, funny and managed our full schedule with ease. I would highly recommend this tour especially since you’ll get to see the bridge at night. the photos are amazing and makes it all the more memorable.

The itinerary arranged by the travel agency was very rich, and we were given ample time. Both the tour guide, Ms. [Name], and Mr. [Name] were very professional, providing detailed explanations of Korean history and culture. Thank you to our tour guides for leading us today, making the entire trip rich and full of fun. You all worked very hard! Gyeongju is truly an ancient capital full of rustic charm and historical culture. I would love to visit again in the future if I have the chance. After experiencing the hustle and bustle of big cities, I also recommend that everyone consider a trip to Gyeongju to slow down and enjoy their journey with this charming ancient city.

This was a very exciting and event packed day tour. I learnt a lot about Korean history and culture from our tour guide. The only feedback is that we could have been given more time at the village. Overall quite enjoyable and recommended.

The location was excellent, and both the garden and the rooms were beautiful and very clean, allowing us to have a wonderful time. The owner is also very kind, so I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience staying in a hanok. However, since it's a guesthouse, you'll need to call the owner when you check in. You should prepare a SIM card that allows calls within Korea or an app like KakaoTalk in advance.

Three days before departure, the route was changed due to predicted bad weather on the day of the tour, and I was very disappointed that Seokguram Grotto, which I was most looking forward to, was canceled. The tour was wonderful, and our guide, Lee, was very kind, making us feel at ease throughout. The lunch we ordered in advance was also delicious. I highly recommend this tour.

We had an amazing trip in Busan and Gyeongju. Katrina and Vivien were both our Chinese and English-speaking tour guides. Katrina was very patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. She explained the history of Gyeongju in a very interesting and easy-to-understand way. We learned so much throughout the tour. Vivien was also very helpful and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. Thanks to both of them, the tour was smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommended!
