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.

Our tour guide John Kim is a kind, energetic and sincere young man. He planned the journey well that all the itineraries had been fully completed and all of us enjoyed the tour experience. He is also a great and professional photographer who helped all the guests to take beautiful photos and advised us where were the best photo-taking points. He spoke good Putonghua and introduced details about the cultural background of each sightseeing destination clearly. We highly appreciate and thank you for John’s efforts in leading the tour.

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!

I loved this tour!!! Hans was an excellent guide, always communicating in English and Chinese, taking his time to explain each place, brief and clear with his instructions, and very friendly. He made the whole day very enjoyable, and he even helps with ideas to give you a better experience and get great photos, offering to take a few pictures for you if you'd like. Highly recommended! The entire itinerary was completed on time. 🙂

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! 😊

Wiro was an absolute fantastic guide who is very knowledgeable on South Korean’s rich history, and also very passionate about her job. As a group we felt instantly comfortable and cared for the whole way through. I had an amazing time on this tour (this was my first solo trip- so was a little nervous but Wiro made me feel at ease). Even made some new friends along the way. Thank you again Wiro!! 💓

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.

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.
