William picked us up at pier and took us to Gyeongju Historic area. Our trip had to be shortened since our ship was leaving early so we asked him to speed our visit up so we got to see all the highlights and make it back to ship in time. He was accommodating and made sure we got to everything. Perfect visit without any stress about time.

Me and my husband really enjoyed the day with Cynthia and Mr.Kim. They are very patient and knowledgeable about the history of Shilla. Which ignited our trip with rich culture and history. We visited Gyeongju at Sunday which makes the traffic really challenging, but Cynthia and Mr.Kim did put lots of effort to make sure we wouldn’t be overwhelmed by the amount of walking. Overall this is a really enlightening experience, we are appreciative of all the effort our guide and driver has put in.

We were staying in Gyeongju, so we opted for the four hour tour. Our guide, Cynthia, picked us up at our hotel and drove us to two different Buddhist temples. She provided great background information on the temples and gave us fantastic recommendations for restaurants and other things to do while in Gyeongju.
Great tour!

This private tour with CK was fantastic! The fall colors were amazing so all of the stops were quite busy, but absolutely worth it! He was very knowledgeable and was patient with all of our children's questions. Great tour!

Jade was great. He was very informative and friendly. Places we went to were beautiful and interesting. Only issue was bad traffic and difficulty parking on this Saturday in November.

I absolutely recommend seeing doing the Gyeongju with these people. Our tour guide Gino was fabulous, with great info, and super professionalism. We arranged for them to pick us up in Busan, drive us to Gyeongju, a full day tour, and then drop off at our hotel in Gyeongju where we will chill out for a couple of days. Very reliable and decent people. 10/10
Joy is an excellent tour guide

We had a wonderful day trip to Gyeongju with Jade. He picked us up at our hotel in Busan and we spent the entire day with him. We got to see Gyeongju, a lovely city and UNESCO World Heritage site. It was a terrific way to visit this city without having to stay overnight there. Jade was an excellent guide, gave us great information about Gyeongju and we had a delightful lunch with him. He let us stay to see the beautiful lights at Donggong Palace and Wolji Pond, and then brought us back to Busan in the evening. He dropped us off at an excellent restaurant for dinner near Gwangalli Beach, so that we could see the Saturday night drone show there at 9 pm. Fabulous day!! Highly recommend!
