Busan Tour with Jack the tour Guide - Our tour guide was called Jack. He was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the subject. We took our tour on a Saturday and there were 5 of us. Jack was also a very good and considerate driver.

Old Buildings Brought to Life - I had an amazing time on this tour with my tour guides Bada and Sherry. They were very professional, personable and extremely knowledgeable. I was so impressed with how much information they shared about each stop over the course of the day. I really felt like I was living in the times of the Joseon Dynasty! I highly recommend this tour.

Had a great time! Definitely book this tour. - We had an amazing time. Bada, our tour guide, was very attentive, knowledgeable and helpful the whole trip. He gave clear details and history for the places we visited while also making sure we had time to take pictures. The tour was quite packed but it didn't feel overwhelming. Most of the places are near each other. Just make sure you check the weather thay morning as it can be very cold.

Tour Guide and photographer all in One!! - For the start our tour guide Mason was welcoming. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone was having a good time. His engagement throughout the day made it extremely fun for my son and I. He showed great knowledge of the stops and provided great historical information. It was nice to have the day filled with great sights but great company. From my son Aydin and I, thank you Mason we had a great time, you even got my son to take some photos during the day! Well done

An unexpected delight. - This reviews is as much about our guide as it is the sights. We booked the trip on a whim having seen many of the “must see” sights in Busan, and ahead of our bus ride to Gyeong-ju, we were contracted with a ton of helpful information about weather, food and what to expect. On the day we were greeted by a bright and bubbly Kayla who welcomed us onboard and totally made the trip. The day was flexible allowing photography nuts to skip the information and explore which we loved. That said, Kayla was so interesting to listen to that we stuck around to learn. A great photographer herself, Kayla took time to take photos of everyone and knew the best spots for some great shots. The stops were varied and interesting, all so photogenic and interesting. Temples, burial mounds, cool shopping strips and old villages. It had a lot and it was all good, ending after sunset at Wol-jeong-gyo Bridge for some great night shots. Kayla was funny, informative and interesting, taking care to make sure everyone felt included and had a good time along the way. Having done so many of these trips we can’t rate her highly enough.

Amazing Guide Amazing Tour - Our tour guide Katrina was amazing! She was extremely kind, funny, and very informative. She was very accommodating to us as we wanted to stay in Gyeongju at the end rather than return to Busan and she was an excellent photographer too! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to see some top spots in Gyeongju! Bonus if you get Katrina as your guide!!
