5.00We had 3 generations on this excursion with our guide, Mimi in Gyeongju, and everyone enjoyed it! My sons, ages 10&17, myself, and the grandmas all learned about the history of the area and experienced wonderful sightseeing. Mimi helped us all feel comfortable throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour!
Great tour!

5.00Mimi was a great guide! We fit a lot into 4 hours and she was very helpful. We enjoyed seeing the Bulkgasa Temple and the grotto, as well as the first observatory in East Asia.
Great private tour for travelers with limited time

5.00Mimi (Yeon) was excellent! She picked us up right from the station in a nice, clean, and roomy van. She was able to get us to all the sites that we wanted to see, and provided us with a lot of history and insight, that we couldn't get just from reading the signs. Because some places were very busy, she ended up dropping us off at the front while she found parking, which was helpful and generous. She was on top of getting tickets and pointing out all of the things that we shouldn't miss. Certainly highly recommend Mimi!
Mimi was an excellent...

5.00The tour was fantastic. All of the sights were wonderful to see, particularly the Bulguksa Temple and the Seokgurum grotto. Our guide Miyeoung was wonderful; she was very knowledgeable about the historical sights we saw, and able to answer all our questions.
Great tour, 10/10

5.00I am glad that I booked this private tour for Gyeongju, as I would not have gained such knowledge about the history and culture if I had visited by myself. Young was a fantastic tour guide, the car was comfortable, I was given a bottle of water, and she took plenty of photos of me (which was helpful as I was travelling solo).
