It was a very fulfilling day. The tour guides Song and Mike took good care of everyone. The introductions to each attraction were very exciting. We all learned a lesson. Every scene today will be deeply imprinted in our minds. The weather was too hot today, and they reminded us to drink more water.

It was just the best. Our driver and guide, Leo, was very friendly, kind, and helpful. The tour was efficient, covered all the places we wanted to go, and was also good value for money. The Japanese couple we were with were also very nice, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!

The tour guide Mike explained the attractions very well, shared some Korean culture and history in Donggong and Moonchi will also courteously help us take pictures In addition, recommended us some good specialty snack bars, have the opportunity to come again a bit unfortunately is that each attraction can not stay much time, can not slowly appreciate the beauty of Gyeongju

We joined this Heritage Day Tour as a family of five, and enjoyed this tour despite the rainy weather. The itinerary was well planned, covering all the major historical sites and giving us enough time to explore and take photos. Our tour guide, Juna, was exceptionally professional and friendly throughout the day. She shared interesting historical background and stories at each location, which made the tour even more meaningful. We were especially impressed by her thoughtfulness, she always volunteered to help us take family photos with our own camera so we could all be in the pictures together. Juna made sure everyone felt comfortable and kept the mood positive. Her clear explanations, warm attitude, and attention to detail really stood out. Overall, its a memorable experience for our whole family. We highly recommend for anyone visiting Busan and looking to discover the rich cultural hertiage of Gyeongju. Thank you Juna and the team for such a wonderful day!

A little bit of history tour and our guy, Tomy, has done a good job explaining. This is a good trip for those who have some interest in learning about the past dynasty. However, some of the sites are actually replicas as they were either destroyed or moved.
