5.00Jesse was a very warm and professional guide. Owing to circumstances beyond his control (poor weather) the tour was cut very short after a vote from the 6-person group. He was very understanding and issued full refunds to us and was very flexible in dropping us off at a different location. The only concern we had was that another couple on the 6-person tour brought along their very young toddler for the 11-hour duration excursion and did not have a car seat. The child sat unrestrained on a parent’s lap in the front seat of the van. From a safety standpoint, and out of consideration for the other guests on the tour, this could have been addressed differently. Jesse was in a tough spot, though, and we don’t know whether he knew about the child ahead of time.
Enjoyable and relaxed tour in countryside North of Busan

5.00We had a fabulous day with Jesse. The sights we visited were impactful, especially the all lit up Wooji Pond in the evening. Jesse was very patient with our group, and posed us for pictures at some very scenic spots. We would highly recommend this tour.
Gyeongju Small Group Photo Tour with Jesse

5.00We attended a small group photo tour with Jesse. He took us on a tour of Gyeongju, outlining the history of the area. Jesse is a great photographer who tweaked his subjects (us) to make sure we presented our best face(s) forward. He knew just the right spots to take the best pictures for my memories of my first visit to Korea since leaving for the US in 1962. We had a small group, and Jesse made sure he looked out for each of us. He was very well organized and knowledgeable for the Gyeongju itinerary. I love flowers and he even took us to the Milllenium Forest Garden … a real treat!
Lovely day out, terrific guide.

5.00Was a great way to see the sights in Gyeongju and have some beautiful photos taken . Jessie was a super guide -we had a group of 3 which was also wonderful as it really allowed us an intimate experience. He really leaned in to what the customers were interested in spending more time doing . That is a sign of a great tour guide! Jessie also provided great restaurant recommendations for our time in Busan.

5.00Great tour from comms, commentary to the van being comfy. We had never done a photography tour - it was a fun having someone take photos as you wonder around the sites and also commentary. Jesse was great informative and accomodating. We were lucky enough to see the king cherry blossom 🌸 Excellent lunch recommendation. We got the photos same day. It was a long day so be prepared for that. Highly recommend as best way to see Gyeongju.
Highly recommended!
