We had Belet and Katrina and they were lovely, very informative, friendly and fun tour guides. Although, it was a long day, the sites were definitely worth the visit and so glad we opt for this day trip tour to visit Gyeongju. Bonus points for Belet for taking great photos for us too :)

The tour was great fun! A good balance of history mixed in with some photo opportunities mixed with some real good food and shopping. Since it’s a day trip from Busan, there was about three hours of driving total to get there, but it comes with the territory. The traditional Korean lunch was my highlight. It was a good opportunity to talk to my fellow tourists, and the restaurant owners were super nice and helped explain some of the dishes (with some translation help from our tour guide). The star of the show, however, was our tour guide, Sang. He delivered a good balance of information and entertainment, always offered to help take photos, and he’s genuinely passionate about his job. More than that, he’s just a great guy. I got to know him a bit throughout the day, and we swapped stories. He’s a likable guy and really interested in hearing about people from different backgrounds. I can’t thank him enough 😄Alexia_B
