There were 16 of us on the tour led by Christina, our guide. She is really cheerful and bubbly and made an effort to check in on everyone throughout the tour. It’s a great way to see Gyeongju while in Busan. The tour was well paced and it didn’t feel rushed despite going to a number of sites. Lunch was delicious with generous portion sizes.
We had our tour with Lena (Chinese speaking) and Song (English speaking). Both guides were great and take care of the tour participants. We followed Song for the English segment tour and she was exceptional in explaining the history which provides us a great overview of the tour locations. We had an enjoyable time during the tour. Thank you!
Tour with Bobby Kim was great. Highly recommended if you would like to have a day trip from Busan, maximise your time by visiting multiple sites in Gyeongju without the hassle of arranging transportation and without having to roam around aimlessly. Details provided during the tour were interesting.
Juna, our tour guide, was excellent. She provided informative commentary about all the locations we visited and was patient in answering all our questions. Highly recommended tour for families, especially if Juna is your guide.
Pick-up at Haeundae station was simple and straightforward, the bus arrived on time as well at 9.t0am and it took roughly an hour travel time to get3to Gyeongju. Our English tour guides - Victoria, Jake and Daniel were great. Inn particular Victoria provided a lot of insightful historical knowledge of the local areas which was interesting to learn about. It was a great tour experience getting to see Gyeongju for the first time and is a beautiful place Highly recommend .
Giwon of KTourStory is very cheerful and caring. She has good knowledge, told us of quite a lot of old Joseon history. Another co-guide Gloria is also very good, she is the mandarin speaking guides. She helps to explain in mandarin and even help me with my travel request out of her job scope. I'm very happy with both lady guides
