Excursii Gyeongju World Car Museum

Before going to Korea, an acquaintance told me that if I were going to Busan, I should definitely take the time to visit Gyeongju. Combined with how stunning the night view photos looked, I decided to join the tour as a solo female traveler. After reading the reviews, I noticed that groups were sometimes split into Japanese, English, and Chinese speakers, which made me a bit nervous about the atmosphere. However, since everyone wrote that it was a tour worth more than its price, I took the plunge and signed up. When I actually got there, it turned out to be a tour of 23 people, all Japanese! At first, everyone was scattered and quiet, but our guide, Mr. Han, did a wonderful job getting everyone to open up, and before we knew it, a strong sense of camaraderie formed. Gyeongju is inconvenient to visit on your own, and with a short itinerary, the value for money isn't great. But with this tour, the bus was a very large and impressive limousine bus. Since traffic in Korea drives on the opposite side from Japan, the roads are narrow, and people drive aggressively, I wouldn't even consider renting a car. I joined knowing nothing about the history, but the guide's explanations were very clear and engaging. Even if you're worried about your physical fitness due to the heat and lots of stairs, they give you free time and options, so I think you can participate with peace of mind without overdoing it. Just in case anyone got lost, they made sure we could stay in touch via LINE. Anyone can take amazing photos here, and the guide even showed us the best photo spots and took pictures for us, so I was so happy to have many memories captured even though I was traveling alone. They also gave us plenty of time for restroom breaks. I made friends, and by the time we headed back, we felt like a real group! It was truly a fun day, and I wasn't tired at all. I believe Mr. Han's wonderful personality brought smiles to everyone's faces. Thank you so much, Mr. Han and our driver, for such a long and wonderful day.
