What I liked about this tour was that there were many things to see! Each monument was explained well by our tour guide, Katrina, who was also friendly during the process too! My favorite part of the tour was definitely Bulguksa Temple where we got told to touch the golden pig for good luck in our life :) Also, it was recommended to us to buy Gyeongju bread to take home which I appreciated. The tour guide was detailed in recommendations for restaurants and cafes. Not only is this one of the cheaper tours on Klook, but also one of the tours that are worth your money. There are so many opportunities for photo ops but also to learn something along the way. Five to six places are a lot for one day but it was enjoyable! Thank you Katrina, Kari, and the bus driver for everything!

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!

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.

We had an amazing day trip to Gyeongju thanks to our driver-guide, Namgyu. He was incredibly professional, polite, and patient throughout the entire journey. During our trip, he brought us to Seokguram Grotto, Bulguksa Temple, Yangdong Folk Village, Woljeonggyo Bridge and more! He even recommended beautiful photo spots we would not have discovered on our own. He also helped us take lovely family photos, which we truly appreciate.
What stood out the most was how kind and thoughtful he was toward our elderly parents. He communicated with them gently, checked on them often, and even offered to accompany our dad when he got tired so that the rest of us could continue exploring comfortably. His sincerity and care made a huge difference to our experience.
We are very grateful for his service and happy to have met him. Thank you, Namgyu, for making our trip so memorable. Please continue to stay positive and keep up the wonderful work — travellers like us are lucky to have guides like you.

Finn was our guide. He started with providing reminder on the appointment, and was early on the appointment date. Throughout the trip, he shared details of each attractions and accommodated to our requests (for non spicy food) and speed, as we have an elderly with us.
