This was a great way to see a variety of places in and around Gyeongju. Despite the bus being almost full, the English guide, Alan, and the Chinese guide, Simon, did a great job of keeping everyone on time and also keeping things moving. They were extremely friendly, engaging and went out of their way to assist anyone. They did a great job of advising people how to take best advantage of the time, to plan their bathroom breaks, when it would be a good idea to grab food or a snack, etc. It made for a very enjoyable, easy day. The bus was comfortable and had a fun futuristic/retro vibe to it. Pickup was very easy. You just wait outside at the street level of where the specific exit and subway station they mention is. The lunch break takes place in an area with a variety of food choices, so you can do your own thing if you'd like. They do have a vegetarian option. You will get a message via WhatsApp with the four options so you can plan ahead. I think overall everything was well timed and located well. Alan and Simon did a great job of keeping everything on track. My only suggestion for the tour company would be to skip the lunch stop and add that time to the stop with the Daereungwon Tomb Complex. I would have loved more time to tour the park, see the museum, and then tour down the adjoining food street.
Amazing way to learn about Gyeongju

We had a wonderful time on the tour! Our guide Kayla was incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited and was super funny and enthusiastic throughout the whole day! We learnt so much about Gueongju and Korea’s history and visited places that we otherwise would have missed. The bus was very comfortable and Kayla was incredibly helpful organising lunch and offering to take photos throughout the day. Thanks for a great day!
Super interesting

Our tour guide Kela was one of the best tour guides we ever had: she was friendly and extremely funny. She was full of anecdotes about the places we visited and gave us a concise description of Korean history iver the past 2000 years. She mingled in personal points of view in a light way.
We love Hyony! Big day but 100% worth it!

Hyony was amazing! She was super knowledgeable, communicated meeting times and food options really well, she was bubbly and kind and her English is great! Plus a 10/10 photographer. The tour itself is awesome, we loved each spot we went to, plus we felt we had sufficient time at each place. :)
It was a fun experience....

It was a fun experience. Hyony is a great tour guide. Not only did she educate us about the history of Korea, but she was so helpful with taking photos for those of us who were solo travelers.
Kayla is what you need on a long day trip :)
