I recently had the pleasure of experiencing this incredible tour, and it was absolutely fantastic! Every stop on the itinerary exceeded my expectations. The places we visited were breathtaking, and everything was organized perfectly, even better than I had hoped. Special thanks to our amazing guides, Rosey and Giselle. They were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the history and fascinating details about each location in a way that was both engaging and informative. Their passion for what they do truly shines through. On top of that, they went above and beyond by helping us take beautiful photos, ensuring we could capture every special moment. I can't recommend this tour enough—it's a must if you want a well-planned and enriching experience!

Our tour guide, Jinny was a very nice person and she took us to various locations and personally served us very well. Gyeonju itself was great, prticulrly Yangdong village a UNESCO heritage site that is hard to visit on our own.

It was an awesome experience, also learned a lot from our guide, Rosey. She is very passionate and encouraged us to ask questions, she is also very knowledgeable about the tour, even gave us options to try. The Gyeongju buns taste so delicious, its like a traditional hopia but with more red bean and flavors. We also get to experience the bridge where Lee Min Ho's Eternal Monarch was filmed, kilig 🥰

I highly recommend this tour. I had a great time throughout the entire trip. Ms. Rosy made sure everyone was accounted for, offered to take pictures, and spoke English well. As a solo traveler, I never felt left out. Gyeongju is a peaceful and serene destination, definitely worth visiting!
