A great memorable trip - Our tour guide Christina was great, she gave clear instruction and lots of information about the places we have visited. Most importantly she has helped to take some good photos that we can bring home with us.

Amazing tour of Gyeongju! - I'm so glad I booked this trip! It was really fun to see all the sights and learn some Korean history. Bobby Kim was so knowledgeable, funny, and helpful guiding us and taking pictures of us with amazing background scenery. It was such a nice time getting to be driven in a very comfortable bus to the amazing sites, and I felt that we had just the right amount of time to learn about the history and explore on our own. We went on a Saturday in March, and the sites didn't feel crowded at all. I highly recommend going on this tour to see the highlights of Gyeongju!

Great tour led by Jason - Jason was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. We went to see so many places which were beautiful the only let down was some people didn’t follow the meet up point and in each place they were late so we were late back home.

It was a very long day,... - It was a very long day, about 11 hours, but our tour guide Jason was great! There were some issues with picking up other people, so we had to wait. Although, it was worth it, and Jason explained the history and was very accommodating and thorough. I would recommend this tour!

Stress free day trip to the Shilla dynasty UNESCO heritage sites - This was one of the best tours I've taken in Korea. I wish I knew about these guys sooner and did their Busna City tour too. They were well organized, we got a private app for their tour company. They shared details, took group pics, etc. They organized a traditional lunch through their app and it was ready for us when we got to the spot and sat down. Very prompt and intentional with the way things flowers today. Gyeongji is a UNESCO heritage site and it has so many temples, tombs and historic sites. We were able to hit the main ones. Our guides Song for English and Jun for Chinese were really nice, professional, and went above and beyond by taking pictures, offering tips, and most importantly allowing bathroom breaks. One downside is this is a really long tour even though things flowed. I wish they would start earlier or have less pick up spots. Break the groups up maybe? Also, the sites are very trekky. You don't have to be super physically Fitz but you are hiking up and down hills and steps at alot of the places. There was an elder lady in our group who couldn't do some of the stops. So take that into consideration.
