Underwhelming very long tour

3.00We were underwhelmed by the majority of the stops and felt that we were at each stop too long. The palace is really remnants of a palace and we didn’t even see those. It’s basically a walk around a pond with three pagodas. Our guide, Sohee was wonderful. This review is not a reflection on her but the entire very long day. From Busan station this trip is a solid 12 hours. At the cultural village, we did find a very cool bar called Bar Boon, which opens at 4 o’clock. We felt this tour was way too long with too much time at each stop. But if you have plenty of time in Busan and want to get out of town for the day, then this could be a great tour for you. The bus is an extremely nice bus.
Informative, pleasant and safe Korean history tour

5.00My friend and I went to this Busan to Gyeongju today with Lecirt. Our tour had three guides, for three different languages. Ours was Kim Hee Yeong,a very professional, attentive, respectful and knowledgeable guide. He was particularly discerning with all participants, taking time to get to respond to specific need, question or struggles when he sensed someone need more time, help and support. It was a long history tour, yet Hee and the driver made it pleasant, comfortable and very safe, on the road and at the various locations.
Great tour with amazing guide

The best honeymoon & day tour

5.00We had the most wonderful day tour from Busan to Gyeongju with Hyony, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience—especially as this was part of our honeymoon. The itinerary was incredibly well thought out and organised, allowing us to see so many beautiful and historic sites without ever feeling rushed. At the same time, there was just the right amount of flexibility built in, giving us some quiet moments to explore on our own and really take everything in at our own pace. What truly made the day unforgettable was Hyony herself. Her storytelling brought the history of Gyeongju to life in such an engaging and memorable way. She has a fantastic sense of humour, and we found ourselves laughing while learning—something that made the entire experience feel personal and unique rather than just another tour. We genuinely feel like we discovered a new appreciation for Korean history because of her. A big thank you as well to our driver, who was absolutely amazing—so friendly, professional, and made getting around completely effortless. A true legend! We would 100% book again with Hyony and her support team in the future, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, fun, and well-balanced experience.
