Good experience, very on-time, and the guide (Sol) is so nice and she even took our pictures whenever we ask her.
The trip was very good. Our tour guides, Charles and Cindy take great care of us. Worth the time.
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.
**Fantastic Tour with an Excellent Guide!** I had a wonderful experience on this tour, thanks largely to our guide, Juna. She was knowledgeable and provided insightful commentary at each stop, making the entire journey both educational and enjoyable. Juna was also incredibly patient, taking the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly. This tour is highly recommended—and even more so if you're lucky enough to have Juna as your guide!
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.
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
