Great day with CK!

5.00We had an incredible day with CK. He arrived on time and gave us a great tour! We learned so much about Gyeongju but also got so much information about the history, culture and politics of South Korea. We saw and did things we could never have found on our own. It was really a perfect day even though the weather did not cooperate. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who really wants to learn and get a full Korean experience!

5.00We had an excellent time on our tour of Gyeongju with Jino. He customized our itinerary for us and was very informative about every attraction we visited - especially Bulguksa temple and the Daerungwon tombs. His service was impeccable - driving us from door to door, making great suggestions for lunch and coffee, and even recommending a place for dinner in Busan after the tour had ended. Considering how much we learned, this was an absolute bargain. We would definitely recommend this tour (and Jino) to anyone visiting Busan / Gyeongju. Thank you so much to Jino!
A great trip where you learn a lot - highly recommend!

5.00The guide, Jake, spoke excellent English and is a really good driver. He also has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Korea, especially Gyeongju. He told me all about the history on the way there (from Busan), and I learned a lot more once we arrived. He was very helpful and showed me the best photo spots. He also held my umbrella for me so I could take the best photos, because unfortunately we weren't lucky with the weather. It rained pretty much all day, so the experience would definitely have been even better in nice weather. To top it off, as a BTS fan (Army), he made it possible for me to visit a restaurant that RM had visited. I can absolutely recommend this tour! Even as a woman traveling alone, it was never uncomfortable or strange; Jake was a great companion!
Absolutely Amazing!

5.00Our guide Jino was amazing!!! He picked us up from our Airbnb in Busan, and took us on an amazing trip around Gyeongju before dropping us off at our Airbnb in Gyeongju. He had so many good recommendations for fun and interesting things for us to do, and he was very knowledgeable about the area and the places we visited! Also had a great time together getting lunch and exchanging cultural knowledge!! I’m so glad Viator picked Jino for our guild!!! He is wonderful!
