5.00Joy was a fantastic tour guide. She had a lot of knowledge about the area. She was passionate about the area and the history. Mr. Han was a great driver. Our family of 9 (6 adults, 14yr old, 11 yr old, and 8 yr old) learned a lot and enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend this trip.
Great Tour that can be accommodated to fit your travel needs

5.00I'm really glad that I booked this tour for my family for our day trip to Gyeongju. We were a group of 8 with 4 adults and 4 kids (6yrs and under). It's been challenging traveling with young kids, but our tour guide Sang did an amazing job helping us out and accommodating our needs throughout the tour. The drive from Busan to Gyeongju is about an hour long, so he stopped at a rest stop for us to get the kids snacks (and coffee for the adults). When my daughter was upset that she couldn't get a rice-ball (her favorite snack), he took the time to walk with my husband to get her one. He also helped lift the stroller in some areas with steps, and was also great with the kids. It was great that this was a private tour, so that the itinerary and pacing was adjusted to fit our needs (with a lot of bathroom breaks for the kids). Even though we needed to move at a slower pace since we had 4 young kids, Sang was able to take us to the main sites in Gyeongju. Sang was also very knowledgeable about the history of Gyeongju, and also knew where the good cafes were. He also knew all the good photo spots and even helped us take some great family photos! I also appreciated thar this tour provided an infant car seat for the 1yo, and a light strap car seat for the 3yo. This gave me a peace of mind while riding in the van (which was also nice). Sang was also a good driver! Overall, we saw everything we wanted to see, and had a great time touring with Sang.

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Jino. He moved at our pace and was willing to customize the tour as much or little as requested. He was very well informed about the sites we were seeing and provided lots of interesting information about the area as well as Korean history and modern Korea. He even suggested several lunch options and the one that we chose was fabulous. My husband has some mobility issues and Jino made various recommendations to limit walking as needed. The tour itself was unique and interesting. It was a great day and we highly recommend.
