I dont usually go on such tours and plan daytrips on my own, but Gyeongju would be really inconvenient to do by public transport (probably even impossible in one day without too much stress). This tour was great, Hans was very friendly and we had some free time at all stops. Just beware that if you take the tour from Busan station you will be picked up first and dropped off last and this was over 12 hours total. Not really their fault but it can be long for some.

Our tour guide Hans, although new to the profession, explained the history of all the historic sites in great detail. Great job!

Maria_D, Apr 2026
Hans was a good tour guide. We were lucky with the weather as it was sunny and was especially lovely seeing the cherry blossoms. Hans was great at answering questions and helping to take photos. The trip itself has loads of different stopovers and at times can feel rushed as there are loads to see. It would be great if we had longer at certain stops especially the museum. Another suggestion would be to have reminders of the places we are going to next when we set off and timings of duration of one stop to another as at times it was not made clear. Overall I would still recommend this trip
Response from Host, Apr 2026

We also appreciate your comments on pacing and communication, and will take them into consideration to improve the experience.

Arlin_A, Apr 2026
The tour guide Kayla is knowledgeable & good, however base from the itinerary, that if you don’t want to join the museum tour, you can do the other option but there was no option given, another is the first itinerary the bamboo forest wherein the The king Eternal was filmed we did not go there, to think that I booked this tour for that reason, good thing it cherry blossom that compensated my disappointment, Next time however be sure the itineraries will be followed.

Guide DK is very friendly, patience and knowledgeable. He is not pushy, ask everyone for opinion and give good recommendation.
Certain checkpoints are not included in the package cost, which is good as we become flexible to skip and can go somewhere nearby. Also this makes the trip more relax.
