We took this tour yesterday and were very fortunate to have Yakin as our guide. Without a doubt, having a guide with this level of preparation and kindness gave us the best experience we have had in all the tours we have taken on this trip to Korea. Simply the best tour. The tour of the Bulguksa temple was incredible. The small temples and pagodas in the central part are endearing. It was wonderful for us who come from the other side of the world to hear Yakin's explanation about the temples, Buddhism and the history of this beautiful nation. This should be a MUST-DO trip on your itinerary, you will have very pleasant memories and photos. Thank you for everything.

A great tour that covers all the key attractions of Gyeongju. Pace of tour was just nice with a very comfortable bus. Mimi is a fantastic tour guide who took the time to introduce the context of each attraction as well as always ready to help take a photo! Lunch was a great cultural experience and the entire tour was very well done and made you feel like time travel back to the Silla period. Highly recommend!

We visited many incredible places and the tour guides Jiwon, Juha and Kelvin gave us very good explanations of Korean history and super interesting details about each place, the weather was super cold but still they did an excellent job and were super nice with us, they took pictures for us in the most beautiful spots. Also, they helped us with some restaurant recomendations near the place we are staying.

This is really recommended! First of all, I would like to thank our Chinese tour leader, Ms. Jin Jinshi (김금실), and another English tour guide, Mr. Kang, who set out together. The care on the road is kind and friendly. I think this is one of the most basic enjoyments of traveling. I can’t say enough about the service of the two of you! As for the itinerary, Gyeongju is a historical cultural relic treasure that spans two thousand years. The one-day tour is fulfilling and has the guide's answers and introductions. Of course, travelers who like complete freedom can just take a ride and go to the Korean buffet at 9900 (at your own expense) But it’s super authentic and delicious) and it’s worth the price of admission! A good partner for self-guided travel and a labor-saving and high-quality option, I recommend it~

Ken was an absolute lifesaver! He created a clear WhatsApp group, shared the pick-up point with detailed instructions, and followed up with everyone until we were all accounted for. He explained the schedule thoroughly at the start and ensured we stayed on track. His knowledge and patience were impressive, and he explained everything clearly. Highly recommend Ken for any trip!
