Must visit destination if you’re in Busan. The trip was great and all activities were covered as per itinerary and time schedule. Sufficient time was provided by the tour guide at the spots for photographs.

The day trip was very tight and well organized. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side, but despite that, we still had a very nice day. Our tour guide Erica was very kind and made sure we received all the information.

Today was so fun and we got tons of great pictures. So far in Korea I’ve been playing the part of “tour guide”, but it’s so much less stressful to have everything planned out as it was. We followed a set schedule but we were given some options at some of the locations. I recommend paying ₩3,000 extra at the tomb mounds to see the artifacts in the one that has been excavated. We opted to explore the street in Gyeongju instead of seeing the other mounds. There are lots of cute shops and street food stalls! Joseph was knowledgeable when we had questions, and was very friendly and patient! I was surprised how fast he learned our names. I’m happy we chose this tour as part of our honeymoon!

The Gyeongju one-day tour was a wonderful experience! I visited many fascinating places rich in history and impressive architecture, surrounded by beautiful golden autumn leaves that made Gyeongju even more charming. Despite the persistent rain caused by the typhoon, the trip became an unforgettable adventure and gave me unique memories to cherish. A special thank you to our tour guide, Lee Byung-kyun, who was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and helpful throughout the journey. His kindness and dedication made the experience much more enjoyable despite the challenging weather. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Korea's rich history, culture, and beautiful autumn scenery. I would love to visit Gyeongju again on a sunny day to fully enjoy everything this beautiful city has to offer! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went on a tour with Antony and a group of other tourists from all over the world. We visited Bulguksa Temple, Seokguram Grotto, Daereungwon Ancient Tomb, Cheomseongdae Observatory, Hanok Village, and the Gyeongju National Museum. It was so great doing this with a guide! It would be impossible to do using public transport. Antony gave concise and interesting explanations about all the highlights. Communication was handled via the app. For instance, we were picked up right in front of our hotel and dropped back off there. Before lunch, we were asked what we felt like eating and were given a set amount of time before the tour resumed. All in all, it was a carefree, relaxing, and wonderful day! Thank you so much!

Was a fun night and a nice nighttime hike. It does have amazing views at night and the trails in the mountains are well lit with paths that are not that hard to traverse. We went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't very crowded but you can still tell its a popular attraction. One of the main advantages of this tour i think is that getting to and fron this place can be difficult from what I saw and the guide takes care of the hardest logistical part. The guide was also very friendly and accommodating. When we arrived there were a lot of people waiting for a taxi to leave as the starting point doesn't have much space for parking. After going to the 3 main locations and taking a buch of photos and videos we capped off the night by making a quick stop to Gwangalli beach, which is also very beautiful at night. especially the view of the bridge. Overall I would recommend it as it was a good time with some memorable moments and breathtaking views.

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.
