Things to do in Gyeongju

I was traveling solo and met new friends on the tour. Our guide Victoria shared a lot of interesting information in all places that we went and she was very fun. Good job to her for handling a large group tour. Lunch was also very filling and very traditional. It was a very insightful tour all in all visiting Gyeongju. I’m glad to have visited Gyeongju.

This trip to Gyeongju was nothing less than amazing! There was so much to see and photograph on this tour. I felt like we had just enough time at each place and that the itinerary was well planned. Our English speaking tour guide Lee was fantastic! I found him to be very kind, funny and patient. He did an excellent job providing a wealth of information about Gyeongju at each site. This tour was definitely worth every penny!

Today was incredible. Chris (Mr Park) was extremely kind and knowledgeable. It was raining a lot in the morning so he switched the schedule to accommodate with the weather. At each site we visited, he gave us a detailed history. On the side, he recommended us many things to do in Busan and Seoul. We were seated next to him, the conversation we had with him was so interesting we did not see the 1h30 travel time. He made this journey a blast. Thanks again!

having been on 2 different types of tours (self guided vs guided), can honestly say Steven has made me like guided tour so much better! we were already impressed with how he's the driver, English guide but he also spoke mandarin fluently, very impressive. I hope he gets paid for doing 3 people's jobs! he was also very knowledgeable about all the places we've been to, and was always providing more info if we asked for it. we deffo learnt more about Korean history through Steven on this tour, which we might not have enjoyed as much otherwise. for improvements wise (nitpicking here), though I liked the pick up service, but since we're the first to be picked up, it felt a bit long winded before we could finally get out of Busan. it wasn't a massive problem for us however, perhaps could consider starting a little earlier otherwise so we could get back without rushing at the end! many thanks for the tour regardless, would recommend!

Mr. Park is a great guide. He knows the history of the places so well, and is an expert in making the itinerary more appropriate considering the weather. I joined solo, and I’m glad I did. It’s more convenient going around in Gyeongju in a tour than by commute or diy. :)

Irene helped arrange this trip. We hesitated until the last moment to book, but Irene quickly found us a Chinese-speaking guide, Park Jin hyuk. The pre-trip communication was excellent, and she gave us great itinerary suggestions. The car was very clean and punctual. The guide told us many historical stories, as well as the past of Gyeongju and the introduction of the Korean royal family and nobles. Visiting the museum, we also understood the allusions of the cultural relics. The itinerary was smooth, and he also helped us take beautiful Instagram-worthy photos. The elders had a great time and said that in addition to shopping and eating delicious food, having a one-day landscape and historical tour was really worth it! Highly recommended!

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!

All four of us booked a private tour. Our driver and guide, Mr. Zheng, was very friendly. He provided detailed introductions and explanations in Mandarin at every attraction, which helped us understand Korean history better. We felt like friends throughout the entire trip and had a wonderful time. He even dropped us off at our hotel on the way back. We are very grateful for Mr. Zheng's thoughtful hospitality.

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! 🌸💗
