A jewel of Silla-era Buddhist architecture, Bulguksa Temple is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site and one of Korea’s most revered temples. Originally built in the 8th century, the temple complex showcases stunning architectural harmony between nature and design. Visitors can admire iconic structures like Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas, and intricate stone staircases that symbolize the path to enlightenment. Set amidst pine forests and lotus ponds, Bulguksa offers spiritual peace and timeless beauty.

5.00Great tour, lots to see and do. The English-speaking guide was friendly and good, but I got the sense that the Chinese-speaking one was telling her half the group a lot more about what we were seeing. We got back quite late though, so plan ahead and bring snacks.

5.00This tour is really worth the $64 because you go 5 places and spend a good 9 hours. I had a lot of fun even as a solo traveler. Sol, my guide, was fantastic. She took good care of everyone even though she had to speak Japanese and English. I would recommend the tour and guide, Sol

5.00The history of each place was beautifully explained by Bobby Kim. Each place was beautiful, the architecture is something you should exprience once in Busan. This trip is perfect for someone who wants to mix some nature day, other than shopping days into the trip plan. Guide Bobby Kim helped took a lot of pictures and also is informative about the history and story of each place. He is very funny and kind, so I really appreciate his service and hard work.

5.00A truly magical journey through the Korean countryside! The sites we explored were truly precious, and our guide generously shared fascinating stories and insightful knowledge that brought each place to life. The day is packed with activities, yet the pace is perfectly balanced and well thought out. The meal served in the village is hearty and delicious, with a wonderfully friendly and welcoming atmosphere. But what truly made the day memorable was our guide, ChaseLy. He is an authentic, generous, and trult big-hearted person who knows perfectly how to significantly connect with visitors, make us feel well and make us forget about daily routine. I would like to thank him especially for this wonderful moment. Having ChaseLy as our guide on Christmas Day was such a blessing ✨ He went above and beyond to make everything possible, and thanks to him we’ll cherish unforgettable memories of this absolutely amazing day trip!
