When we arrived at the train station, after taking the bullet train from Seoul to Gyeongju, Kevin, our tour guide, was waiting for us and he was ready to take us around and show us all the sites. Kevin was excellent!! He was so nice, friendly and knowledgeable, and we visited amazing places. The Seokguram Grotto located at the Tohamsan mountain has the most impressive Budha, such an spiritual place. We were very excited about this trip and it really was everything and more than we expected. Thank you Kevin!!!!

It was a wonderful experience, from the moment we were picked up from our hotel in Seoul by Alicia, who was very empathetic and supportive. We were then met by our guide Min in Gyeongju. Min guided us throughout the park, with a deep knowledge of the area and of Buddhism, adding significantly to the quality of the experience. Our lunch was at a typical Korean restaurant, which we loved. Min made us feel very welcome and was an excellent guide.
