Well done to our tour guide (Olivia) which is very accommodating and patiently managed all the tourist needs. The tour is packed of Gyeongju heritages.
Amazing packed tour! Company was helpful and flexible to requests. Our english guide tour guide Lucy looked after us, made us laugh and was full knowledge of the historical sites we visited which made the tour very interesting! :)
Angela has brought us a fantastic tour with beautiful history, great food and scenery, thank you very much!
The bus was comfortable. Tour guide was friendly.
Rico was our tour guide. She has lot of knowledge to share about history of Gyeongju.
Separated from my partner on the bus for the whole entire day because of an extremely arbitrary rule set by the tour guide prohibiting seat changes on the bus for the ENTIRE day as well as extremely entitled solo travellers taking up pair seats on the bus by themselves. Yes, it’s a 12 hour long trip with multiple bus rides. And yes, being able to seat with my partner matters to me.
