A day into the historical era

Published on Jan, 2025

Mimi is very helpful and do not mind to go the extra miles just to help us feel comfortable during the trip. She is very informative about the Silla Kingdom and gave us very good explanation throughout the trip. Mimi is also very flexible with her schedule to fit into our needs. Thank you Mimi and Here Korea for the arrangements and making our Busan trip a memorable one.

Amazing Tour Guide!!

Published on Nov, 2024

Joy was absolutely wonderful!! She brought us special Korean cookies as a way of welcoming us to her country, which made us feel comfortable from the start. She catered to all our picture taking needs, as well as capturing some of her own to send us later. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the country and area, and her quest to learn more has really shown. We truly enjoyed our time with Joy and would recommend her to anyone traveling here. Not to mention, the area is beautiful!

Glorious Gyeongju

Published on Nov, 2024

Hi. Our pickup from the hotel went smoothly as did the train journey. We met up with Kevin and spent a fascinating day with him. He was very professional, courteous and considerate of our needs and capabilities. We would highly recommend him as a guide (and photographer). The places we saw were fascinating and it was a very memorable day. Thankyou for arranging the logistics Rachel and Joe Rosen

Very spiritual journey

Published on Jul, 2024

When we arrived at the train station, after taking the bullet train from Seoul to Gyeongju, Kevin, our tour guide, was waiting for us and he was ready to take us around and show us all the sites. Kevin was excellent!! He was so nice, friendly and knowledgeable, and we visited amazing places. The Seokguram Grotto located at the Tohamsan mountain has the most impressive Budha, such an spiritual place. We were very excited about this trip and it really was everything and more than we expected. Thank you Kevin!!!!

Super well-rounded and comfortable!

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a really lovely tour! Not only was transportation 100% taken care of for us, but the tour was fully catered to our liking. We were given a few set options to choose from based on our preference as a starting point, then were able to customise it as we liked. Our tour guide, Dongmin, was very accommodating and knowledgable, and he really made sure we were enjoying our time. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, and I would love to revisit Gyeongju again some day - it’s absolutely gorgeous!
