Hans was amazing! He made the tour very interactive and fun. I learnt a lot about the history of Korea. Gyeongju is absolutely beautiful. I kept asking my partner to pinch me so I knew I wasn’t dreaming! Some places were a little rushed but that’s expected when you have such a packed adventurous Itenarary.

Our tour guide, Mike, is half-Korean and half-Chinese, so his Chinese explanations were excellent. He explained history in a simple and concise way that wasn't boring or dull, sometimes adding honest, humorous little jabs, which was great! He explained the origins of each attraction, and we also learned some interesting facts about how Koreans celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, giving us a deeper understanding of the country. While it's possible to visit these sites on your own, to truly understand the cultural background and connect the attractions in a short amount of time, you'd need to do a lot of research to enjoy it fully. For those of us with limited vacation days, don't hesitate to sign up now! Chinese-speaking travelers really should book this tour; you won't regret it! (The tour guide really didn't pay me to write this review, haha, I'm genuinely giving him five stars!)

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.

Donghoon was the perfect tour guide. He was able to explain the background and history of all the venues in multiple languages catering to our groups needs. He was always making sure we had enough rest in between locations and even provided us a bonus viewpoint of Busan city at night time! Definitely worth the visit and the highlight of my trip to Busan!
