For a free and independent trip for two, if you want to visit a place that's a bit further away, joining a group tour is indeed very convenient. Although everyone comes from all over the place, it's a happy coincidence to meet and have fun for a day. KLOOK's itinerary is well-paced, and if you don't know how to arrange a free and independent trip, it's definitely a good choice.

Bada [Team LECIRT] was a wonderful guide for the “Gyeongju: the Old Capital of Korea One Day Tour from Busan”! He was incredibly thoughtful in planning our itinerary and provided insightful answers to our many questions. This was our first family trip to Korea, and Bada was especially considerate of my in-laws, who are a bit older, ensuring they were comfortable throughout. He was patient and flexible, adapting to our needs throughout the tour. He was kind, helpful, and took excellent care of us every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to introduce us to Korea. Highly recommended!

This tour was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have any specific expectations going in, but every destination we visited exceeded them. I especially loved the last two stops — they were incredible! A huge thank you to our tour guide, Brian — he truly made the experience unforgettable. He rocked!

Love this tour! The pickup location was very convenient. Brian, our guide, was very nice and attentive. (He’s such a cutie too!) The lunch at Yangdong village was a bit pricey but there was no other choice. The owner accepts credit card so don’t believe it when they wrote you to pay cash only. (They only prefer cash.)

We had a wonderful day exploring Gyeongju with our guide, Irene, and our driver. Communication prior to the trip was effective with Irene being very proactive from the start of our booking, making sure our needs were addressed (including going all out to get a baby car seat for my niece!) . Everything went smoothly from start to finish — they were both very punctual and made sure we traveled comfortably throughout the day. Irene was extremely patient with us, even when we took a bit more time at some of the sites. She’s very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting historical facts about the cultural landmarks we visited. We also appreciated her great food recommendations! Irene speaks both English and Mandarin fluently, which made communication so easy for everyone in our group. Overall, it was a fantastic and well-organized tour, highly recommend to anyone who is keen to do a private chartered day tour with them.
