Bada is so friendly and he is an excellent storyteller! I was able to appreciate the places and history more because of the stories he shared with us. He truly made the experience enjoyable and informative, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
I would love to recommend this tour to my family and friends. This tour is great especially if you want to have a deeper understanding of South Korea’s and Gyeongju’s history.

Jesse is an outstanding tour guide who speaks fluent English and is highly knowledgeable about the sights. He’s also a fantastic photographer, and his photos were a highlight of our tour. Jesse went above and beyond to answer our questions and took us to the best places to eat. When I left my sunglasses in his van, he made the extra effort to meet up with us before we left Busan to return them. I highly recommend him—skilled, honest, and incredibly talented.

Check the weather forecast before booking. The Gyeongju tour is fantastic for photo taking and scenic walks but it's 90% outdoors so not advisable for wet and rainy days. Itinerary is good and well paced but would suggest having more free time at gyochon village instead of hwangnidan-gil would be better but that's maybe a personal preference. Our tour guide, Kayla, was fantastic. Friendly, charming, helpful and great at taking photos!
