Although Japanese was not spoken in the language, there was a guide who spoke Japanese and was very kind. However, the driving was rough and I got motion sickness at the beginning and end of the trip. I didn't have an appetite for the food, which was a shame. I wish I had taken some motion sickness medicine.

We had an amazing day despite the cold weather. Our guide, Kayla, was funny and very informative. She was very helpful in taking our photos with the most wonderful view. We went to many locations and the time allotted for each was just enough for us to enjoy the place.

Our Chinese tour guide is Jin Jinshi. He explains each location very clearly and has plenty of time. He is also very enthusiastic about taking photos for everyone. I give him five stars! In addition, the English tour guide Vincent was also very good. They worked well together and the whole trip went smoothly. Thank you to them! I highly recommend everyone to participate. Both tour guides deserve five-star praise!

Roy is a very responsible tour guide. He answered all our questions very patiently and observed the tourists' conditions very attentively. His English is really fluent. He is very friendly for a person who is participating in the tour alone. At the same time, this is a very good place. A good itinerary, it concentrates all the things of Gyeongju in one day, saving energy, money and time. People who like culture and history must come and see it.
