I participated in the KTS Gyeongju one-day tour. The tour guide Gao was humorous and the itinerary was not tight. I look forward to meeting you again next time.

The tour leader was nice, and he helped take photos of the scenic spots that we checked in. He explained each scenic spot in detail, and we spent time playing from early morning to late at night. The whole journey was very fulfilling.

Our tour guide is Sophie. Since she studied in college in Taiwan, she can actually speak Chinese and her English is very good. She explains the stories vividly and her English is clear. Even my mother can understand it. It’s great.

This was the highlight of our Busan trip - amazing sights/architecture and our guide Wing Wing was incredible - great commentary and a cracking sense of humor. I 100% would recommend anyone that wants to see and hear about a part of real Korean history to do this while you're in Busan! Wayne, NZ
