Such a good experience for our family! We were scared about the rain and cold weather, but Han made our tour fun and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Korean culture and ate some really yummy traditional food at the buffet. My favorite spot was the Ahopsan Forest because the hike was calming and relaxing! If you plan on visiting Gyeongju and want to go on a tour, I’d recommend this one! Ask for Han!! 😋

We had a great tour with our guide, Sol. She went above and beyond to show us beautiful historical sights in Busan, and even managed to squeeze a visit to the Pink Muhly field. It was beautiful during sunset and I learned a lot of trivia. Even if we were a group of 40, we didn’t feel rushed nor crowded. During the free time, we tried a cafe she suggested with yummy bingsu. It was a perfect itinerary. She’s also a certified make up artist and is accredited for skin consultation so she shared k beauty product recommendations based on my skin type. Highly recommend this tour!

Today was so fun and we got tons of great pictures. So far in Korea I’ve been playing the part of “tour guide”, but it’s so much less stressful to have everything planned out as it was. We followed a set schedule but we were given some options at some of the locations. I recommend paying ₩3,000 extra at the tomb mounds to see the artifacts in the one that has been excavated. We opted to explore the street in Gyeongju instead of seeing the other mounds. There are lots of cute shops and street food stalls! Joseph was knowledgeable when we had questions, and was very friendly and patient! I was surprised how fast he learned our names. I’m happy we chose this tour as part of our honeymoon!

Mr. Park was an excellent guide who tried to answer all of our questions. When it started raining, he lent me his umbrella, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. He was very friendly, and I’m glad we had him as our guide.

Our tour guide, William was kind, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. He gave us really great information at each tour stop. The tour has a good amount of spots to see, but because it was a small group, it didn’t feel overwhelming or too tiring. I’d highly recommend this tour if you’re interested to learn about Gyeongju and its 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

David was a great guide, I loved hearing the stories about important artworks and places. I wouldn't have noticed these if I walked around without a guide.
