Nice and funny tour - We did this tour and we were very satisfied. Our English guide was Kayla and she was very good. She is very entertaining and funny and also gives you a lot of interesting information about the places you visit. She really likes her job and that shows. Highly recommended

Walking through the heart of the Silla Dynasty - A rich, reflective day in Gyeongju—ancient tombs, temples and stories brought the Silla past vividly alive. This is a must do

Great way to explore Gyeongju - This was a great way to see a variety of places in and around Gyeongju. Despite the bus being almost full, the English guide, Alan, and the Chinese guide, Simon, did a great job of keeping everyone on time and also keeping things moving. They were extremely friendly, engaging and went out of their way to assist anyone. They did a great job of advising people how to take best advantage of the time, to plan their bathroom breaks, when it would be a good idea to grab food or a snack, etc. It made for a very enjoyable, easy day. The bus was comfortable and had a fun futuristic/retro vibe to it. Pickup was very easy. You just wait outside at the street level of where the specific exit and subway station they mention is. The lunch break takes place in an area with a variety of food choices, so you can do your own thing if you'd like. They do have a vegetarian option. You will get a message via WhatsApp with the four options so you can plan ahead. I think overall everything was well timed and located well. Alan and Simon did a great job of keeping everything on track. My only suggestion for the tour company would be to skip the lunch stop and add that time to the stop with the Daereungwon Tomb Complex. I would have loved more time to tour the park, see the museum, and then tour down the adjoining food street.

Amazing way to learn about Gyeongju - We had a wonderful time on the tour! Our guide Kayla was incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited and was super funny and enthusiastic throughout the whole day! We learnt so much about Gueongju and Korea’s history and visited places that we otherwise would have missed. The bus was very comfortable and Kayla was incredibly helpful organising lunch and offering to take photos throughout the day. Thanks for a great day!

Super interesting - Our tour guide Kela was one of the best tour guides we ever had: she was friendly and extremely funny. She was full of anecdotes about the places we visited and gave us a concise description of Korean history iver the past 2000 years. She mingled in personal points of view in a light way.
