Fantastic 5.0
It was an excellent trip to Gyeongju, which integrated many other amazing places. We started at the spectacular Ahopsan Bamboo Forest, then moved on to the Bulguksa Temple. Along with the colorful autumn foliage, we walked to the mysterious tombs (Daerungwon), and also strolled across the charming water bridge (Woljeonggyo) in the Gyeongju Hanok Village. To top it all off, we finished at the Wolji Palace. It's a pity we had to head back at sunset and couldn't stay to see the palace illuminated

Today was so fun and we got tons of great pictures. So far in Korea I’ve been playing the part of “tour guide”, but it’s so much less stressful to have everything planned out as it was. We followed a set schedule but we were given some options at some of the locations. I recommend paying ₩3,000 extra at the tomb mounds to see the artifacts in the one that has been excavated. We opted to explore the street in Gyeongju instead of seeing the other mounds. There are lots of cute shops and street food stalls! Joseph was knowledgeable when we had questions, and was very friendly and patient! I was surprised how fast he learned our names. I’m happy we chose this tour as part of our honeymoon!

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!

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.

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The tour was absolutely superb! We’re so grateful to have had Hans as our tour guide. He was polite, respectful, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made the entire experience both informative and enjoyable. Hans went above and beyond by helping us find the best spots for photos and even taking pictures of us while making sure everyone was well guided throughout the tour. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made a difference. Since it was my first time here, I’m especially thankful that Hans helped make this trip so memorable for my wife and me. We had such a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I’ll definitely recommend Hans to my friends! Thank you once again, Hans, for such a fantastic, fun, and unforgettable tour. You made our experience truly special! 😊

Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable and excellent transportation service in Busan!
