It was a good experience, I got to learn a lot more about Korean culture and visit to another popular city. It was a long day with a lot of traffic but the staff even overworked to make sure we got to see everything we were supposed to see. I definitely recommend booking with them 🤍

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.

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.

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 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!

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 :)

Our guide (Mr. Kim) is punctual, efficient and considerate. He even help us to double check whether the place that we plan to go is open during rainy day. He also recommend good food and willing to share it's location to us. He make sure we fully utilise the time to explore as much places as possible other than the requested itinerary. Would like to engage his service again.

Our group of five family members took this this tour one way from Busan to Gyeongju. DK was our guide and driver for the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable and well organized. DK is a Korean native who spent several years of his childhood in the US, and he was able to understand us and express himself fluently to bring us a very valuable, authentic Korean perspective which we really appreciated. We were able to see all of the highlights of Gyeongju in just one day. He really helped us make the most of our time by recommending key focus areas at each site. For us, this was also how we traveled from Busan to our next destination, Gyeongju, and how we were able to tour the Gyeongju sites. It was so efficient, easy, and stress free. DK started the day picking us up at our Busan hotel, and ended our day dropping us off at our Gyeongju hotel. We highly recommend this tour.
