Things to do in Bomunjeong Pavilion

This tour is the highlight of our Busan trip! Hug-you our guide is very informative and fun! he even surprised us with Peanut bread and Ginseng tea when we reach the top of the observatory. overall experience is excellent! would recommend this tour 100% and would do it again when we come back! The view is amazing!

Our guide, Yaho, was fantastic. Always available to answer questions and share the history of his country. He managed to meet and handle the expectations of a large group with different interests and paces. Not even the morning rain could ruin the tour.

Had an Amazing full day tour of Gyeongju and a big part of that was our excellent guide, Kimmy. From pickup to drop off , everything felt smooth, well paced and full of interesting stories. Kimmy was knowledgeable, friendly, and great at reading the group’s energy. He explained the history of the Silla Kingdom, answered every question patiently, he also kept the day comfortable, balancing sightseeing with enough time to explore, take photos (he takes good photos as well) and enjoy local food. If you’re considering a Gyeongju day tour, would highly recommend this experience and especially Kimmy as your guide.

We loved this experience! we hired two hanbok’s for the whole day, we arrived the shop mid-day and there were no other customers, so we took the time to select the designs we liked, and then they went on to braid our hair. This went very quickly, but looked so beautiful! they put in flowers and decoration, and it did not feel like they were rushing, although it went quite fast and efficient. They have lockers in the shop to stow away the clothes you came in. We booked a photographer separately, because, when do you get to wear such beautiful clothes? It was a very fun experience, the clothes are beautiful and of good quality, lots of choice and sizes. would recommend 10/10! 🌸💗

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.

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.

instructors don’t speak English but we relied on Papago/google translate and it was okay

We loved our cooking class with Eunkyo in Gyeongju; she was very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly as she took us on a tour of the local market and helped us cook some great food! experience:

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.
