I joined this Gyeongju tour from Busan right in the middle of autumn and it was absolutely beautiful. Every place we visited: from Bulguksa Temple, Woljeonggyo Bridge to Daewangam… looked magical under the golden leaves. Our guide, Mr Park Jeong Ho, was kind, knowledgeable and caring the whole day. He explained everything clearly and made sure everyone was comfortable. It was such a relaxing and memorable trip, highly recommend!

This is a really new pass I used it for my trip to gyeonju in the last slide I've written my itinerary where you can get free things and discounts. These are the places you would usually visit in gyeonju so I think it's pretty good. Must do : hanbok for 4 hours use and luge are really worth the price

This was a great experience. My sisters and I booked the full day hanbok rental. Since we are all tall (between 168-175cm), the staff told us where to find the hanbok skirts for our height and explained the shirt sizing, etc. The lady that helped dress us was very quick and the hairstyling was also very fast. The result was so beautiful and we felt like princesses. We got so many compliments walking around and even had a group ask where we had gotten our hanbok rental. Since we did the full day rental we were also able to send one picture per person that they printed out for us when we returned. 10/10 highly recommend.

A huge thank you to our guide, Mr. Zheng, for the detailed explanations provided throughout the tour. His attention to detail was evident from the pre-trip notifications, where he thoroughly explained the weather and recommended dining options. During the tour, he shared the historical stories of Gyeongju with humor, making for a relaxed and pressure-free experience! Although the day's itinerary was affected by the weekend Gyeongju festival, which made it difficult to find parking, Mr. Zheng quickly overcame the difficulties and ensured we completed our sightseeing tour. If you want to travel to Gyeongju without having to rush for the bus, I recommend joining a day tour.
