November 2nd, family of 3, Korean (Wendy). We were so lucky to meet Ryu, a passionate and energetic guide! Thanks to guide Ryu, we successfully wrapped up a happy and enjoyable Gyeongju one-day tour on November 2nd. Out of 41 people from various countries, there were only 3 Koreans. Managing and leading people from multiple countries couldn't have been easy, yet he paid attention to even the small details for solo travelers, constantly asked for feedback from everyone after every destination, checked if anything was needed, and even had the sensitivity to carefully ask solo travelers if they were comfortable joining others for meals. Above all, while giving explanations in English at each destination, he also looked after the youngest guests—a 2-3 year-old child and a Japanese mother-son duo who applied alone—and even showed the passion of holding and playing with the child. I wanted to applaud his dedication in taking care of all 41 people. Even though the meeting spots and times were explained slowly and repeatedly, and an unexpected situation arose with 4 foreign travelers telling the guide to come and go elsewhere, guide Ryu did not panic, safely gathered the majority first so as not to keep everyone waiting, and must have been exhausted searching everywhere for the 4 people, yet he kept his smile until the end and found them at Bulguksa Temple—I was truly moved. He considered everyone's pace, including the elderly, young children, and kids, while walking. I would like to express my gratitude once again for guide Ryu's thoughtfulness and sincerity in trying to teach our child, who didn't fully understand the English used during transit, even one more historical fact. Thanks to our guide, we will definitely book with RedTours again next time. I am sending my belated applause for your passion, and please stay healthy.

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

After deciding to visit Gyeongju, I compared many tours, and choosing this one in the end was so worth it! 👍 We visited all the important attractions, and Jesse, acting as photographer, driver, and tour guide all at once, was extremely professional. He told us stories and even gave us pose instructions when taking pictures, so we didn't have to worry about feeling awkward~ What was most thoughtful was that while we were waiting in line to take photos at Daereungwon, the sun was quite strong, and Jesse actually brought out a large umbrella to shield us from the sun!! He even noticed details like that, and I am truly grateful to them ☺️ Additionally, although lunch was not included in the tour fee, Jesse recommended several different types of restaurants for us to choose from~ And of course, the recommended restaurants were also delicious!! There was plenty of time to explore Hwangridan-gil~ For someone like me who loves to wander around, this was fantastic! In short, if you want to visit all the important attractions in one day while also getting many beautiful photos, please don't hesitate and just sign up! This trip to Gyeongju was definitely the most worthwhile and happiest day of my entire journey~ 🩵🤍
