Had a wonderful tour in Gyeongju, the ancient capital of Korea. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly, making the city’s rich history come alive with engaging stories and clear explanations. Kayla Kim especially was very patient and helpful throughout the tour, taking us to good photo spots as well which made the experience even more enjoyable. Really appreciated the effort and would highly recommend this tour!

Sherry and Katrina really took good care of us on this trip, and they were very patient and answered all of our questions! The trip was cold, Gyeongju was really windy, but the tour bus was warm!

Step back into time of the Silla Kingdom with this tour. Our guides, Miss Katrina and Miss Sherry, provided deep insight into the history of the Silla Kingdom and its capital, Gyeongju. The journey is about two hours bus ride from Busan, but our driver skillfully navigated the hills safely with the big bus. The lunch was affordable and delicious at a rest area. The highlight -- Cheomseondae-- did not disappoint and was exactly how the pictures show it. If you like history, this is your tour and Miss Katrina and Sherry are your guides!

Our tour guide, Ethan, was fantastic and amazing! We had him for the 8 hours of this tour. He had great energy, very kind and made sure everyone had a great time. He even waited for my Mother and I to reunite with the group before we headed to the next stop as we ended up getting lost a little bit during free roaming. He made sure we were safe and also had everyone stay comfy and warm as we experienced lots of rain and cold, freezing snow weather throughout halfway of the tour. You’d be lucky to have him as your tour guide if you take this tour. Was worth exploring Gyeongju for our first time!

The Chinese-speaking tour guide, Sherry Li, was very enthusiastic in introducing Korean history and local culture relevant to the itinerary. The weather on Chinese New Year's Eve, February 16, 2026, was actually quite cold. I noticed Sherry's hands were red and swollen from the cold, but she still diligently introduced the cultural history of each attraction. She is truly a very dedicated tour guide. This trip has also helped me understand Korea better, and I am very happy to have participated in such a wonderful group tour. 😊

During student winter break, it's very crowded, with about an hour wait for each activity, but it's a lot of fun 👍. In winter, there's also snow tubing.
