Things to do in Bomun Lake

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.

Hans was amazing! He made the tour very interactive and fun. I learnt a lot about the history of Korea. Gyeongju is absolutely beautiful. I kept asking my partner to pinch me so I knew I wasn’t dreaming! Some places were a little rushed but that’s expected when you have such a packed adventurous Itenarary.

We loved this experience! we hired two hanbok’s for the whole day, we arrived the shop mid-day and there were no other customers, so we took the time to select the designs we liked, and then they went on to braid our hair. This went very quickly, but looked so beautiful! they put in flowers and decoration, and it did not feel like they were rushing, although it went quite fast and efficient. They have lockers in the shop to stow away the clothes you came in. We booked a photographer separately, because, when do you get to wear such beautiful clothes? It was a very fun experience, the clothes are beautiful and of good quality, lots of choice and sizes. would recommend 10/10! 🌸💗

We covered many attractions (meaning shorter stays at each spot), and I was very happy we could stay until evening to see the night view. The tour guide only confirmed the time via WhatsApp after 9 PM the night before, which initially made me a bit worried.

Donghoon was the perfect tour guide. He was able to explain the background and history of all the venues in multiple languages catering to our groups needs. He was always making sure we had enough rest in between locations and even provided us a bonus viewpoint of Busan city at night time! Definitely worth the visit and the highlight of my trip to Busan!

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.

We loved our cooking class with Eunkyo in Gyeongju; she was very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly as she took us on a tour of the local market and helped us cook some great food! experience:

instructors don’t speak English but we relied on Papago/google translate and it was okay
