5.00Tour guide Peter provided friendly and knowledgeable service throughout the entire day. Great English fluency and sense of humor. He also suggested a fantastic place for lunch that was one of our best meals in Korea. Highly recommend!
Surprise finding in Modern Korea

5.00This was an unexpected delight seeing a compact city in the ultramodern cities associated with South Korea. Gyeongju having been an ancient city is an archaeological site of some importance. There are apparently numerous tombs from 5th to 6th centuries and are to some extent reminiscent of Egyptian pyramids although the exploration of the tombs is still rudimentary. Only one tomb seems to be open to the public, other mounds still not fully explored. It was nice to see low rise buildings in the area built in the original Korean/Chinese styles, apparently even the newer buildings have to be built in the old style. We saw the remains, not much left, of the Donggung palace, the surrounding gardens and an old observatory. A traditional village is still intact but now commercialised. There is a newish replica of an old bridge spanning the local river. In addition we saw a couple of Buddhist temples, both UNESCO world heritage listed. It is a long day and our guide Peter was wonderful and very supportive of us as my wife has mobility issues and was not able to do the entire long day tour.
A wonderful day with a knowledgeable guide

5.00This tour was a bit unexpected. I was in Daegu for a conference and had an extra day. I signed up for this tour on a whim, and I’m very glad I did! My guide was Peter who picked me at my hotel. It turned out I was the only guest, so I had a private tour. We drove over to Gyeongju and spent time looking through temples, statues, a hike to a grotto, tombs, quaint cultural towns, and even the local museum. Having little knowledge of the history, I came away having very much been educated and given appreciation for the wonderful history and culture in this part of Korea. Peter was helpful and friendly, and I enjoyed his company. It was like spending a day with a friend!
