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.

Although it was the Korean Mid-Autumn Festival that day and there were many people and cars, the tour guide Kevin still managed the time very well and the whole trip was great!

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!
