The tour guide Hans are very friendly, approachable, attentive to the our needs. He even went to each customer to ensure all 39 customer aircon are turning correctly. Also, he took the pain to memorise all customer name, that's so sweet. He can speak fluent English and Mandarin and able to switch smoothly when meeting different customer. We are being well taken care for the entire Gyeongju trip. Highly recommend to join his tour.

Today’s guide Sang was incredibly kind, friendly, and very professional. He gave us a detailed and insightful explanation of Gyeongju’s history and development, and guided us through several key attractions. He also recommended some delicious restaurants and beautiful cafés. Gyeongju in April is truly stunning—Sang was charming, the scenery was gorgeous, and it was an absolutely wonderful day.

It was a really great tour with a smaller group, so we all fit into a van, which I was thankful for. Our guide was Hee. He did really well coordinating everything in the swarming heat and drove like a legend. We had ample time for the itinerary with options to choose to visit the museum or some people to visit Wolji lake. I'm happy I choose the museum as theres lots of things to see from Shilla. He also acted as a photographer too. We stopped for lunch at an affordable ₩9900 buffet, theres other options too like a cafe cafe and CVS. A great tour to do if you want to see Gyeongju :)

Our tour guide Leo was on time and professional. He provided short description about each stop/tour sites and gave enough free time to enjoy it on our own. He also assist us with taking photos and tips where to go. Gyeongju is a beautiful place may even beautiful when spring or autumn season. Will be back soon!

The entire tour is highly recommended. Both the Chinese and English tour guides were very professional and enthusiastic. Tour guide Zheng was engaging and happy to share, making the atmosphere completely comfortable. Although the group size was moderate, everyone received care and attention. We had a wonderful day exploring Gyeongju, learning a lot about its history and culture. Many thanks to both hard-working guides.

Our guide (Mr. Kim) is punctual, efficient and considerate. He even help us to double check whether the place that we plan to go is open during rainy day. He also recommend good food and willing to share it's location to us. He make sure we fully utilise the time to explore as much places as possible other than the requested itinerary. Would like to engage his service again.

Our group of five family members took this this tour one way from Busan to Gyeongju. DK was our guide and driver for the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable and well organized. DK is a Korean native who spent several years of his childhood in the US, and he was able to understand us and express himself fluently to bring us a very valuable, authentic Korean perspective which we really appreciated. We were able to see all of the highlights of Gyeongju in just one day. He really helped us make the most of our time by recommending key focus areas at each site. For us, this was also how we traveled from Busan to our next destination, Gyeongju, and how we were able to tour the Gyeongju sites. It was so efficient, easy, and stress free. DK started the day picking us up at our Busan hotel, and ended our day dropping us off at our Gyeongju hotel. We highly recommend this tour.

We had a great stay at Rivertain Hotel Gyeongju. The location is very convenient and close to the bus terminal. Our room was spacious, and the bathroom was also large and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
