Just like in K-dramas!
Melo_H, May 2024
It was a long but very productive day. Went to various sites and had the perfect weather for beautiful photos to remember this special and vibrant day. Brought to life the remarkable historical K-dramas I watch voraciously. 😊 A special shout out goes to Bruce for being a disciplined tour guide. It’s not easy herding 30 tourists. 💪🏽 We also appreciate his attention to our comfort, enjoyment and safety. Highly recommended, specially if you want a taste of Korean history in living color!
Amazing experience
Edward_W, May 2024
Our tour guides, Hawon & Yakin, were friendly, informative and amusing. Very knowledgeable and very organized. The sites were amazing and the knowledge our tour guides had relating to each site we visited, really added so much more depth to the experience! I would highly recommend this tour with these guides!
A must if you want to know Korea
Deborah_C, May 2024
I always appreciate a local guide knowledge and pov. This coupled with the sites is the memorable experience. I would have liked more historical humanist stories with the history portion.
Bobby did a tremendous...
Sarah_H, May 2024
Bobby did a tremendous job with this tour. From sharing historical insights and answers our questions to helping us navigate crowds and see the most we could on a busy holiday weekend, my brother and I had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this experience!
Very special tour 😍
Julia_S, May 2024
The whole daytrip was a very unique and interesting experience. I learned a lot about the history of the places we visited.
Great day trip from Busan
Vanja_R, Apr 2024
Excellent full day tour from Busan. Bobby was great guide, everything was on time, according schedule, he provided lot of information and gave us enough free time at each location. Tour consists of 3 UNESCO WHS, final stops were at the palace and the bridge after sunset, perfect locations for great photos.Back to Busan around 10 PM. Thanks again Bobby.
Best Daytrip from Busan
Audrey_C, Apr 2024
It was worth the 12 hours to spend on a tour of beautiful Gyeongju to see one of our favorite places in South Korea. Wonderful sights especially the tombs, the bridge where the princess was pushed in the water and the summer palace at night. Our guides Bruce and Kelvin did such an excellent job explaining what we were seeing and keeping the group together that we got an extra stop in the tour. We returned to Busan after a long but very happy day.
The best Korean English speaking guides
Zsuzsa_D, Apr 2024
The whole trip was amazing, very well organized, we saw and learned a lot. Great thanks to our fantastic English speaking guides, Victoria and Bruce. They did a great job!
Go for it!
LiYea_B, Apr 2024
Love the temple and authentic folks village (Yangdon Village). The whole experience of the trip was great and our guide , Yakin is experienced enough to know how much time is needed at each site to have a great experience. Yakin goes beyond his duty to make us feel comfortable on the trip, he spoke perfect English.
Take this tour!
John_B, Apr 2024
Bobby was a great tour guide, so keen to share his knowledge of Korean history in a way everyone could understand. All the places we visited were so interesting and beautiful. We strongly recommend this trip. It is a highlight of our holiday in South Korea. Thank you Bobby.
Brilliant Tour
Sven_K, Apr 2024
Just go on it. Everything was spot on and it was great value. The bus was very comfortable (the bus driver excellent), the tour guide Gisong was bubbly, knowledgeable and just marvellous and all the places we visited were historic, traditional and extremely interesting. Lunch was great too.
Great experience
Ramunas_G, Apr 2024
The trip was great. Our English tour guide G1 was amazing . Definitely recommend to everyone. We saw amazing places and were submerged into Korean history as well.
Excellent visit to Gyeongju with Esther
Eddy_L, Apr 2024
The tour trip was eyes opening on Korea history and culture. Gyeongju is full of wonder and well kept. Our tour guide, Esther was fantastic. She speaks excellent English and knows the places very well.
Perfect experience with Yakin
Pablo_B, Apr 2024
Yakin was the perfect guide, he was very communicative, always providing interesting facts and overall a great experience
A beautiful tour of Gyeongju
Alexandra_R, Apr 2024
Really enjoyed this tour of Gyeongju. Practical if you want to do a one day visit from Busan and you want to be chill and not stress over organizing it. It is also easier to see attractions that are far from each other and from the center of Gyeongju. Having Jiwon as a guide was really great, she was very sweet and knew a lot about the places we visited. We had to endure a very heavy rain at the end of the day, but that didn’t stop her from showing us around. I want to thank her and the bus driver once again for the tour!
gyeongju UNESCO WORLD
MariadeLourdes_T, Apr 2024
I had Yakin as my guide, he is the best in this world... he explained everything to us, helped us and supported us with everything we needed... the truth is, there are few guides like him.
Highlight of my vacation
Emily_P, Apr 2024
Our tour guide Yakin was great! We went to all the places that i had wanted to see in Gyeongju and had enough time to enjoy each of them. We went during cherry blossom season so the sights were even more beautiful.
Fun tour with fun guide
Zakiyyah_W, Apr 2024
Our tour guide Jiwon was super energetic, friendly and knowledgable. Her sense of humour also made everyone on the tour relaxed and at ease. The tour was extremely enjoyable, well-paced and well-organized. I definitely recommend the tour. If you have Jiwon as your guide, you will be very lucky!
I recommend
Med_S, Mar 2024
Great tour I recommend 👌. We were lucky it was sunny and we had lot of cherry blossoms. Jiwon was very friendly and shared with us knowledge about the history of the places. She made sure we had a great time.
12hour day of Korean history
Barry_T, Mar 2024
Good range of historic sites with explanation of Korean family life, royalty and burial rites and treasure. A long day with 2 hours at each end travelling and picking up folk. Esther was an enthusiastic friendly guide with good English skills. It would assist foreigners if years were given in addition to a korean era.
