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!

Great tour despite the rain!
Tour guide Sunny was really nice, friendly and well-organised. The itinerary was well-paced, and there was sufficient time to visit all the locations without feeling too rushed.
The only downside was that it rained the whole day 😭 The Ahopsan Forest involves a small hike, so definitely wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. If you’re not up for the hike, you can also skip it and wait at the entrance.
Overall, it was a good tour and Sunny made the experience enjoyable. Would definitely recommend going on a day with better weather though, it would have been even more beautiful!

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 :)

We'd like to thank Tour Guide Zheng for the day's tour. He thoughtfully introduced the content of each attraction, allowing us to not only see the sights but also gain a deeper understanding of their stories. He also kindly helped us resolve the transportation issue for getting to the grilled sausage stand. My family was very satisfied with this trip, and I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

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!
