I loved this tour!!! Hans was an excellent guide, always communicating in English and Chinese, taking his time to explain each place, brief and clear with his instructions, and very friendly. He made the whole day very enjoyable, and he even helps with ideas to give you a better experience and get great photos, offering to take a few pictures for you if you'd like. Highly recommended! The entire itinerary was completed on time. 🙂

Our tour guide John Kim is a kind, energetic and sincere young man. He planned the journey well that all the itineraries had been fully completed and all of us enjoyed the tour experience. He is also a great and professional photographer who helped all the guests to take beautiful photos and advised us where were the best photo-taking points. He spoke good Putonghua and introduced details about the cultural background of each sightseeing destination clearly. We highly appreciate and thank you for John’s efforts in leading the tour.

We had a lovely day at Gyeongju, the weather was perfect and all the attractions looked beautiful. Ryu, our guide for the day, was very informative and made the day a lot more fun. We enjoyed the commute and Ryu’s selection of old Korean ballads. The itinerary was quite well planned and wasn’t tiring in anyway.

The tour was absolutely superb! We’re so grateful to have had Hans as our tour guide. He was polite, respectful, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made the entire experience both informative and enjoyable. Hans went above and beyond by helping us find the best spots for photos and even taking pictures of us while making sure everyone was well guided throughout the tour. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made a difference. Since it was my first time here, I’m especially thankful that Hans helped make this trip so memorable for my wife and me. We had such a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I’ll definitely recommend Hans to my friends! Thank you once again, Hans, for such a fantastic, fun, and unforgettable tour. You made our experience truly special! 😊

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!

Mr. Park was an excellent guide who tried to answer all of our questions. When it started raining, he lent me his umbrella, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. He was very friendly, and I’m glad we had him as our guide.

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.

Robin is the best guide/driver/photographer for this tour. Aside from the beautiful places, a bit of history was shared too. The good reco for lunch was superb.
