It is a very worthwhile trip. Each car is equipped with a Chinese and English tour guide. Our Chinese tour guide Sherry Li is very lively and humorous. She explains the cultural history in detail and professionally. She accompanies us to visit the scenic spots throughout the trip. It is super nice👍. The schedule of the scenic spots is very well arranged. We can walk around leisurely without being rushed all the time. Let us feel the history, culture and beauty of Gyeongju.

Had a lovely time on our tour! It was a busy and beautiful day, and Erica worked through the chaos to ensure we all had a great time. Despite the traffic, we were able to hit all the stops for Option C.

Full of youth. Great support from the guides. They were very kind and the best. Their powerful English was like an entertainer and I was charmed. The girl who spoke Chinese was cute and very kind and polite. I was impressed.

I went on this Busan: top attractions tour a few weeks ago when my mother was visiting me in Korea. Our tour guide was Orota, and she was THE BEST. She is kind, knowledgeable, and has a good sense of humour. Not one dull moment during the whole tour. When we were in the Gamcheon Culture Village, my mother got stuck buying souvenirs. Orota was kind enough to wait for us and still showed us a good photo-taking spot, even though we showed up late at the meeting spot. The spots were amazing, the tour route was efficient and you can tell a lot of love went into all the planning. And she gave us gifts after the day was done!! 🥹We made so many wonderful memories. I would recommend this to anyone considering booking, 20/10 tour ❤️
