Wonderful Tour with a Super Guide - The tour was very rich and interesting. The Guide was super nice and helpful, even offered me lunch and accompanied me for free to the station at the end of the tour. The best person I met on my trip to Korea!

Great tour of Gyeongju! - Excellent! A wonderful tour and perfect for me and my teenage son because he explained everything thoroughly but let us visit the sites at our own pace.

Brief Beautiful Visit to Geyongju - Of the short time we had, our tour guide made the most of it. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He did not speak English but always had interpreter app ready to go so we could converse.

Gyeongju sites - We had a lovely trip around the sites of Gyeongju. Our driver was such a lovely person. We asked if we c ould swap the lake visit as we were staying at Bomun lake and instead go to Woljieonggyo Bridge. It wasn't a problem to change. I would recommend this trip of a few hours as all other sightseeing trips were a maximum of 9 hours.

Highly recommend tour. - I throughly enjoyed the tour and saw four of the highlights of this amazing city with an abundance of beautiful blossoms. We stopped at an extra pond which the locals know is the best place for photos.

Peaceful & beautiful introduction to Gyeongju - A very peaceful tour and guide who is very attentive. He has a wealth of knowledge! The car was very clean & comfortable and pick up was flexible. As picked the 10am, the guide gave me a list & order to check out the remaining beautiful sites. It was incredibly helpful. Best meal recommendation I had in my whole Korea trip too!

Perfect for half day! - If you don’t have very much time to visit the ancient city, this is a good way for door-to-door service. Mr.Lee picks you up from your hotel or eatery and very knowledgeable about all the important sites. He does not know English and uses a translator app, but feel free to ask for anything you want to know about the area. The only worry I had was I did not get a response on the day of the trip and a bit anxious if he would meet us, but he did! Very kind gentleman!

A very friendly and... - A very friendly and hospitable driver/guide. He didn't speak much English but with translator apps we communicated just fine. There is so much to see and do, and depending on how much of a history/cultural buff you are, the tour could probably use additional time. But it's great if you have a half day. Highly recommended!
