Things to do in Gyeongju

We were able to visit Gyeongju's tourist attractions in one day, experiencing history from the Silla to Joseon periods, which was very fulfilling. Our guide contacted us the day before, so we felt at ease on the day of the tour. Although it was a very hot day, our Japanese-speaking guide, Han Jeong-hoon, provided many historical explanations at each site and took photos for us, making it a memorable trip for our family. The night illumination of Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, as well as Woljeong Bridge, was also incredibly beautiful, and we are truly glad we participated in this tour.

it was a short but truly meaningful trip. Our guide, Song, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and gave us fascinating insights into Korean history as well as the stories and significance behind each site we visited. We really enjoyed the experience and hope to have the opportunity to visit Korea again in the future

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!

Great tour despite the rain! Tour guide Sunny was really nice, friendly and well-organised. The itinerary was well-paced, and there was sufficient time to visit all the locations without feeling too rushed. The only downside was that it rained the whole day 😭 The Ahopsan Forest involves a small hike, so definitely wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. If you’re not up for the hike, you can also skip it and wait at the entrance. Overall, it was a good tour and Sunny made the experience enjoyable. Would definitely recommend going on a day with better weather though, it would have been even more beautiful!

It was a really great tour with a smaller group, so we all fit into a van, which I was thankful for. Our guide was Hee. He did really well coordinating everything in the swarming heat and drove like a legend. We had ample time for the itinerary with options to choose to visit the museum or some people to visit Wolji lake. I'm happy I choose the museum as theres lots of things to see from Shilla. He also acted as a photographer too. We stopped for lunch at an affordable ₩9900 buffet, theres other options too like a cafe cafe and CVS. A great tour to do if you want to see Gyeongju :)

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!

We'd like to thank Tour Guide Zheng for the day's tour. He thoughtfully introduced the content of each attraction, allowing us to not only see the sights but also gain a deeper understanding of their stories. He also kindly helped us resolve the transportation issue for getting to the grilled sausage stand. My family was very satisfied with this trip, and I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

the tour was okay, but pls be mindful that this is a self-guided tour. so for those wanting to have all their free time, this is for you. we only had a driver and dropped us on each destination.

Our guide, driver, and photographer, Jesse, was absolutely amazing! He picked us up directly from our hotel, and we had seamless, door-to-door transportation for every stop. With a group size of 2-6 people, everyone received personalized attention and had beautiful photos taken. For two of the locations, he even put on rain boots and waded into the water to get the perfect shot – he truly went above and beyond to help us capture incredible memories! Compared to other Gyeongju day tours that only offer basic guiding, I highly recommend choosing this itinerary! It's incredibly worth the price! Not only will you receive hundreds, even thousands, of photos, but you'll also get five professionally retouched images. This tour is especially recommended for solo travelers, as you won't have to worry about not having photos when traveling alone.
