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.

5.00I booked this one day trip to Gyeongju on April 1st and it was an amazing experience. As a solo traveller, this gave me the chance to be carried around and see as many places as possible. Special thanks to our guide Bobby Kim who guided us on this tour! Highly recommended

5.00I had a wonderful tour with Bobby Kim! He’s very knowledgeable and kind and kept us on track to see all the amazing historical and cultural sites. I’m so glad I booked this tour during my trip to Busan, because there’s absolutely no way I would’ve been able to do this without him. It was a packed day but it was well spaced out and well worth it. I would recommend this tour with Bobby Kim to everyone! As a solo traveller, I also really appreciated his willingness to take pictures and get all the angles. Also, the lunch spot he took us to in Yangdong folk village was delicious. I got the spicy marinated raw crab, so delicious. Buddy definitely made this day one to remember! :)
The worst guide tour EVER!

1.00If you're assigned to Bobby Kim, YOU BETTER DON'T DO IT. First thing asked us to download an app. for us to buy stuff online and delivery to our hotel on the same day🤔 LEGAL, PROPER, ALLOWED???.The guys is rude, no manners. Screaming in the bus, didn't gave us clear instructions about the schedule, bossing people around. I have to confront him iside the bus because his behavior. After 90 minutes on the bus, we stopped for lunch. He didn't showed us the bathrooms. Many people have to put back the shoes to go to restrooms. WE ENDED UP PAYING $100 USD for taxi to go back to Busan in the middle of the tour...Bad experience!!
Good experience

5.00This experience takes all day, but it has to be that way to be able to see the night view of the bridge. Food is not included, they take you to a local place and it is very nice, although we went by 12:30 and were not hungry at all. Also, this tour was amazing thanks to Daniel, who schedule each stop perfectly even thought some of the group were always late. I would really recommend doing this tour with Daniel. It is good value for money.
Great experience!

5.00Daniel is an amazing tour guide and very charismatic! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, highly recommend it. It was about 10 hours long. The group was big but he was able to keep us on time.
Essential if you are interested in Korean history

5.00The tour is in English. Bobby was our guide. It was great. The guide told us the history of the place and then we had enough time to visit. Because of the distance between sites, if it wasn't for this tour we wouldn't have been able to see it. We recommend it.

5.00Our trip to Gyeongju was great. Every activity was thoroughly planned and we managed to get a lot done in day. After evrything we arrived on time at the starting point of our journey in Busan. Bobby Kim and Yean took great care of us and Bobbys History Facts made for a great Lesson of Korean History.

5.00Great tour from Busan. Be prepared for a long day, 11 hours. We did not get back to 9pm. Our guide, Bobby Kim, was excellent.
Great day tour!

5.00A great tour that takes you to all the major destinations in Gyeongju in one day! Our guide Charles was super friendly and lovely and was eager to help whenever needed. Was a good mix of free time and guided sections; though I would have loved a little more in depth info on some of the stops, I could tell others on the tour were just eager for free time, so understand it must be hard to find a balance. Thank you to the team for a great day!
