Sunny, the Chinese tour guide, is great. He will introduce the characteristics of each scenic spot and is also very considerate in helping everyone take photos. The length of stay at each attraction is also just right, so you won’t run out of sightseeing. I highly recommend it!

Gyeongju is beautiful. Xiaozhou’s tour guide and Giselle’s company made the entire Gyeongju trip more perfect. I highly recommend that everyone can choose this itinerary without fear of language barriers. There are tour guides in both Chinese and English on site. I highly recommend it. It’s a fulfilling day👍
