While on a trip to Busan, I looked for tourist attractions in the suburbs and Gyeongju seemed interesting, so I joined this tour. Our guide, Mr. Han, provided detailed explanations, and I was particularly moved by the Gyeongju Choi Clan House. Beyond its beautiful architecture, hearing about how this family, despite accumulating wealth for over 300 years across 12 generations, valued a simple life and treated everyone with respect, regardless of their status, made the tour even more impressive. This time, I traveled with a few other Japanese participants, and we shared the bus and restaurants with participants from other countries. I felt at ease because I received a confirmation call the day before the tour, and on the day of the tour, we were informed in advance about restroom breaks. Since it's still hot in September, short-sleeved shirts, sunscreen, and sunglasses are recommended. There will be many opportunities to take photos, so a mobile charger is a must-have!

We had such a wonderful experience during our Busan UNESCO tour! Sir Jake was a really good, kind, and accommodating tour guide. He was very friendly and approachable throughout the trip, and he made sure that everyone was comfortable and enjoying the tour. He explained the places we visited well and made the whole experience fun and memorable. You can really tell that he cares about his guests and genuinely wants everyone to have a great time. Thank you so much, Sir Jake, for making our Busan tour extra special. We truly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Busan!

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!

I really enjoyed the tour guide's overall arrangements; it was very enriching, and I saw many historical and cultural artifacts. I'm very grateful for the guide's thoughtful explanations and planning. The guide was also very proactive in helping group members take photos and was very patient in looking after everyone. Thank you very much! Oh, and the fried squid the guide recommended at Hwanglidan-gil in the evening was absolutely delicious. I'd love to visit Gyeongju again if I have the chance in the future. It was a wonderful memory.

The tour covered many great attractions and our guides, Noah and Kelvin, were very friendly and knowledgeable about the places. They made sure we were all having a good time and helped to take nice photos and recommend good food. This tour is great to catch the attractions that are harder to access in Busan and also cover the key highlights at Gyeongju. Just only a bit tight timing for meals due to the packed itinerary. Thank you for the tour today!

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 :)

The entire tour is highly recommended. Both the Chinese and English tour guides were very professional and enthusiastic. Tour guide Zheng was engaging and happy to share, making the atmosphere completely comfortable. Although the group size was moderate, everyone received care and attention. We had a wonderful day exploring Gyeongju, learning a lot about its history and culture. Many thanks to both hard-working guides.

Today’s guide Sang was incredibly kind, friendly, and very professional. He gave us a detailed and insightful explanation of Gyeongju’s history and development, and guided us through several key attractions. He also recommended some delicious restaurants and beautiful cafés. Gyeongju in April is truly stunning—Sang was charming, the scenery was gorgeous, and it was an absolutely wonderful day.
