Great tour with amazing guide - We had the tour yesterday, and it was really worth it. It was a great, but definitely long tour, with all the important sights. Our tour guide Hyony was amazing. She is a kind, smart and knowledgeable person. Highly recommend

Guide Hyony for being so warm, patient, fun, and caring throughout the whole trip - Had such a lovely day trip today honestly 🥹✨ Everything about the day was just perfect — beautiful places, good food, nice weather, lots of laughs, and such a relaxing vibe from beginning to end. It felt so nice to take a little break from routine and just enjoy the moment. And a big thank you to our tour guide Hyony for being so warm, patient, fun, and caring throughout the whole trip. You really made the experience even better and kept everyone comfortable and happy all day 🤍 Came back home tired but with a very happy heart and so many good memories.

The best honeymoon & day tour - We had the most wonderful day tour from Busan to Gyeongju with Hyony, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience—especially as this was part of our honeymoon. The itinerary was incredibly well thought out and organised, allowing us to see so many beautiful and historic sites without ever feeling rushed. At the same time, there was just the right amount of flexibility built in, giving us some quiet moments to explore on our own and really take everything in at our own pace. What truly made the day unforgettable was Hyony herself. Her storytelling brought the history of Gyeongju to life in such an engaging and memorable way. She has a fantastic sense of humour, and we found ourselves laughing while learning—something that made the entire experience feel personal and unique rather than just another tour. We genuinely feel like we discovered a new appreciation for Korean history because of her. A big thank you as well to our driver, who was absolutely amazing—so friendly, professional, and made getting around completely effortless. A true legend! We would 100% book again with Hyony and her support team in the future, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, fun, and well-balanced experience.

Excellent experience with busan historical tour - Awesome tour. The bus was split into three separate groups by languages so whenever we reached a destination, we would split off into 3 smaller groups, one in English, one in Chinese, and one in Japanese. Our guide was a girl named Hyony and she was great. Very informative and helpful with resolving issues or providing recommendations over whatsapp. She was very bubbly and always kept the spirit high of the group even if the trip was overall tiring but fulfilling at the same time.btw Hyony is an awesome photographer

A great tour - An affordable and well organized tour to see the historic complex in Gyeongju, which is dubbed "museum under open sky". Special credits to our guide who timed the visit for a photo op with a lighted temple in the dark.
