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!

5.00Jake was on time, engaging and super attentive. He shared many details about the tour and life in S Korea. We appreciated his thoughtfulness and willingness to adjust during the day. He took us to an authentic Korean lunch spot in an amazing small village. His car was super clean and comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend him for a day trip in Busan or surrounding area.
Joy was an incredible...

5.00Joy was an incredible tour guide! She made travel seamlessly easy from the Gyeongju bus terminal, through all the sites, and even dropping us off at our AirBnb! We had a group of 8, and Joy was attentive to all including securing a larger bus for our group that was very comfortable. She was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and answered all of our questions. We also enjoyed her jokes too! We’d recommend Joy to anybody looking for an informative and comfortable tour of the UNESCO sites in Gyeongju!
