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.
The Gyeongju one-day tour was a wonderful experience! I visited many fascinating places rich in history and impressive architecture, surrounded by beautiful golden autumn leaves that made Gyeongju even more charming. Despite the persistent rain caused by the typhoon, the trip became an unforgettable adventure and gave me unique memories to cherish. A special thank you to our tour guide, Lee Byung-kyun, who was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and helpful throughout the journey. His kindness and dedication made the experience much more enjoyable despite the challenging weather. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Korea's rich history, culture, and beautiful autumn scenery. I would love to visit Gyeongju again on a sunny day to fully enjoy everything this beautiful city has to offer! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!! 💓
A huge thank you to our guide, Mr. Zheng, for the detailed explanations provided throughout the tour. His attention to detail was evident from the pre-trip notifications, where he thoroughly explained the weather and recommended dining options. During the tour, he shared the historical stories of Gyeongju with humor, making for a relaxed and pressure-free experience! Although the day's itinerary was affected by the weekend Gyeongju festival, which made it difficult to find parking, Mr. Zheng quickly overcame the difficulties and ensured we completed our sightseeing tour. If you want to travel to Gyeongju without having to rush for the bus, I recommend joining a day tour.
The entire tour is highly recommended. Both the Chinese and English tour guides were very professional and enthusiastic. Tour guide Zheng was engaging and happy to share, making the atmosphere completely comfortable. Although the group size was moderate, everyone received care and attention. We had a wonderful day exploring Gyeongju, learning a lot about its history and culture. Many thanks to both hard-working guides.
Gyeongju has quite a few attractions. There was a bit of traffic on the way, but it didn't really affect the schedule. The scenery along the way was very beautiful, and the night view was even better. It is definitely worth visiting. Also, the vehicle was very comfortable and spacious, and our tour guides, Wang Seok-mo and Wiro Park, were wonderful and communicated very proactively.
For our family trip to Daegu, I found a Gyeongju day tour departing from Daegu on Klook and immediately signed us all up! Before the trip, the organizer, Lecirt Travel, and our guide, Mr. Jung Yong-ho, thoughtfully sent reminder emails and detailed itinerary information. This included: 📍 the meeting point (with actual photos for easy identification), the guide's contact information, itinerary and lunch options, and reminders about the day's weather and rain gear, etc. The comprehensive information completely eliminated any pre-trip jitters. Although there were some temporary issues with the shuttle on the day of departure (thanks to our guide Jung Yong-ho for the immediate coordination), we were fortunate to be with a professional team. The travel agency promptly dispatched a dedicated person and car for transportation, and even upgraded our itinerary, making the trip not only smooth but also unexpectedly more exciting. The performance of the guide team was particularly impressive: Simon's tour was lively and engaging, and he was passionate about introducing Gyeongju's history and culture. He also shared local delicacies and hidden gems. Russell thoughtfully helped everyone find the best angles for taking photos, capturing artistic family photos. On the way back, due to traffic, he even provided bottled water and Korean snacks to satisfy our hunger. This level of attentiveness deserves a "6-star service" rating! Overall, this day trip was well-organized and provided meticulous service, ensuring our whole family had a fun and worry-free experience. I highly recommend this tour for an easy trip to Gyeongju from Daegu! 🌸
Our tour guide, Zheng Ronghao, was truly enthusiastic and attentive. He explained the history and cultural tidbits of each attraction in detail and proactively helped us take photos. There were four of us, and we rode in a seven-seater vehicle. We were very lucky to have a private tour that day, which was especially comfortable. The itinerary was also very smooth. Highly recommended!
Our tour guide, Guide Cheng, was very attentive this time. The explanations throughout the entire trip were vivid and engaging, and she walked with us at every single attraction! The Korean restaurant she recommended for lunch offered great value—delicious and affordable. We had a happy and wonderful day!
On this trip to Gyeongju, our group of about ten people, including myself, friends, and other tour members, was split between two private cars. The 7-seater we rode in was very cramped; we had expected a medium-sized tour bus. Overall, we successfully visited all the planned attractions. The lunch spot was also good 👍🏼, and plenty of time was given for us to eat at a leisurely pace. The tour guide provided detailed, lively, and interesting explanations at each attraction. Because we ran into the annual marathon in the afternoon, we had to walk a very long way from the parking area to the sights. It would be more traveler-friendly if people could be dropped off closer to the starting point before the driver goes to park. Arranging water and dry snacks for events like this would also add a nice touch.
