The tour altogether was very good, but I do have a few suggestions. The Affonso Forest did not feel like it was worth 8,000 won. Maybe that could have been optional, but Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond was something really, really pretty, and that should be a part of the tour. Our guide Hans was really great in accommodating us and super helpful in keeping us informed about the places, its history etc

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 had a lovely day at Gyeongju, the weather was perfect and all the attractions looked beautiful. Ryu, our guide for the day, was very informative and made the day a lot more fun. We enjoyed the commute and Ryu’s selection of old Korean ballads. The itinerary was quite well planned and wasn’t tiring in anyway.

The tour was absolutely superb! We’re so grateful to have had Hans as our tour guide. He was polite, respectful, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made the entire experience both informative and enjoyable. Hans went above and beyond by helping us find the best spots for photos and even taking pictures of us while making sure everyone was well guided throughout the tour. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made a difference. Since it was my first time here, I’m especially thankful that Hans helped make this trip so memorable for my wife and me. We had such a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I’ll definitely recommend Hans to my friends! Thank you once again, Hans, for such a fantastic, fun, and unforgettable tour. You made our experience truly special! 😊

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 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.

I am so glad I joined this Gyeongju local tour! There was a major event in Gyeongju that day, so there was heavy traffic on the roads, which was an unexpected situation. I really appreciated tour guide Lee; she is very knowledgeable, explained the local history and culture vividly, was very enthusiastic about taking photos for us, and was extremely patient. Even when we hit traffic, she kept a positive attitude and did her best to make arrangements. Thank you so much for your hard work! I highly recommend this tour, and it is definitely worth a try for friends who want to learn about history.

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!
