Highlight of our trip

5.00This was the best cultural activity we have done in S.Korea to date. Our two guides were fantastic. Jihye was full of knowledge and enthusiasm, and both she and her colleague were so thoughtful and couldn’t have been kinder to our son. We got a fantastic overview of the sites and religious symbolism throughout that we wouldn’t have been able to appreciate visiting on our own, and they both took some lovely family photos for us. Jihye and her colleague were so considerate to us, making sure we got home safely and reuniting us with our son’s lost hat. The baking activity was a fantastic surprise. We highly recommend participating in this if you have the opportunity during your visit to Gyeongju, and feel very fortunate to have been able to take part. Thank you so much again Jihye and your colleague!
An amazing way to learn...

5.00An amazing way to learn about the Bulguksa Temple and ancient Korean history! Our guide was very informative and we had a great experience! Seeing the temple, grotto, taking pictures, and baking Gyeongju bread all in 4 hours was perfect. We highly recommend!
Amazing experience!

5.00This is a must do one day tour to Gyeongju! My English guide Eom Jihye was extremely kind and full of information. She went through all the trouble of dropping me at the bus station. The guides were extremely kind and helpful. I got to try on the traditional dress and received printed photos in them and got a small souvenir as gifts. Glad I did this tour!
It is a very educational program.

5.00The price is also reasonable compared to other programs, and it is good to learn the history of the race in a short time. I would like to apply again if I visit the race next time.

5.00We went on a guided tour to Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram, followed by a fun baking class. Our guide, Eomjlhye, was fantastic! Their knowledge and passion made the historical sites come alive, and the baking class was a delightful experience. Eomjlhye's warmth and attention to detail made the tour truly special. Thank you, Eomjlhye, for an unforgettable day! Highly recommend this tour to everyone.
