Enjoyable tour of ancient sites of the Silla kingdom

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guide, Wookie, picked us up and returned us to our hotel. In between, we were treated to historical tales of the Silla kingdom and the birth of the unified Korean kingdom. He carefully discussed what we would be able to achieve during the day, as the list of places to visit on TripAdvisor would not all be possible during a single day. I think we chose well. Incidentally, I'm glad we chose to stay in a hotel in Gyeongju city and many tour operators recommend large hotels well outside the centre. We were easily able to see many other attractions on foot from our hotel.

Fantastic private Gyeongju Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a wonderful tour to Gyeongju with our guide Jay Song. She customised the tour to our needs and was a pleasure to talk to and learning the local culture from her. Overall a fantastic day out!

Living history

Published on Jun, 2024

Visiting these historical sites was absolutely amazing. What made it the best tour ever though was having Joy as our guide. Joy brought the experience to life by providing exceptional insights, historical facts, and passion to truly understand and appreciate what we were seeing.

Fantastic Tour of Gyeongju

Published on Jul, 2023

John was a terrific tour guide. He was flexible, knowledgeable and very personable. I would highly recommend him for your visit to Gyeongju.

5 star tour by the highly informative guide

Published on Jun, 2023

Our guide, Mr. Goh, was the best guide we've had on our trip to Japan and Korea. He spoke excellent English, and was highly knowledgeable about the history of Korea, and had in-depth wisdom on Buddhism, which was very helpful on our visits to the many temples. He was also flexible, and accommodated our requests to meet our friend at a later time, and taking us to a vegetarian restaurant for lunch. We are indeed very fortunate to have had him as our guide !
