Gyeongju Healing Park This was such a lovely place to visit! Although the snow was artificial, I’m glad I got to experience it. Kang was incredibly helpful throughout the trip. Since I came alone, I didn’t have anyone to ride the canoe with, but Kang kindly volunteered and even paddled for me. Honestly, it felt like a little date too! 😜 Hwangnidan-Gil We stopped here for lunch, and while most people opted for a full meal, I decided to snack my way through the area. I tried everything I wanted, but I wish I had more time to explore because there’s so much to try. I’ll definitely be back! Gyochon Traditional Village I enjoyed strolling through this charming village. The vibe was so relaxed, and during our visit, I got to see Woljeong Bridge in daylight. I didn’t even realize I was walking along a part of the bridge until later—such a cool experience! Bulguksa Temple This was the coldest spot on our tour, but it was absolutely beautiful during the golden hour. The sunset rays complemented the temple’s serene vibe perfectly. Also, there was a pig statue! I’m still secretly hoping to get rich from rubbing it—haha! Woljeong Bridge (Night) We revisited Woljeong Bridge at night, and it was stunning. The vibrant lights illuminated the bridge beautifully. I even got to cross the stream using the rocks under the bridge—such a fun little adventure! Overall Experience This solo trip turned out to be far from lonely. I enjoyed every moment, and a big part of that was thanks to Enzo and especially our English-speaking guide, Kang. He was so kind and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. From taking amazing photos to paddling the canoe, Kang went above and beyond. I’m truly grateful for his company and help. I’m so glad I chose this package—it was an unforgettable experience!

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.
