It’s a full day out -... - Great trip with our guide Kang. Very informative and helpful. It’s a full day out - literally 12 hours start to finish for us - plenty of stops and things to see/do. Make sure you bring cash for lunch (the restaurant does not accept Apple Pay etc!)

A great tour to see many historical sites in one day. - This tour was packed with interesting stops. We saw amazing temples, tombs, buried into hillsides, an ancient village that is a UNESCO world heritage site, and more. It was a long day, but really a great opportunity to get to so many places in a short period of time. Angela was an excellent guide and went the extra mile to have this be a good experience for us. When we were having trouble ordering our lunch online, so it would be prepared when we arrived, she ordered it for us and it was a wonderful traditional, Korean lunch with 11 or 12 different bowls of different things to sample. The two hour stop in the evening at first seemed like a long time to me, but then I discovered that there are blocks and blocks of stores and little places to eat so it was actually a nice way to pass a couple hours. Overall, we had a great time with this tour and have some wonderful photos to remember it by.

We had a wonderful trip... - We had a wonderful trip to Gyeongju in spite of rain all day. Nick was a great guide who gave us lots of good information about each stop and helped us really appreciate the different sites. The local restaurant where we stopped for lunch was delicious. We could have probably spent a little less time at each stop and made the tour a little shorter, but this was a perfect way to see Gyeongju if you hvae a limited amount of time in Korea.

Pleasant culture tour - Our guide Kang was very helpful and informative. The tour covered many historic places. Time allowed at each place was perfectly enough. We travelled with a 4 year old and the phase was absolutely perfect. Would happily book another tour with Ktour the next time. Thank you Kang.

Wonderful Gyeonju! - We had a wonderful tour. It was a big day but worthwhile. We took our three small children who coped really well with the ten hour tour. Nick the guide was very kind and helpful. He took family photos of us and was very knowledgeable. We learnt much about Korean history. There were lots of breaks for the toilet and meals. We would highly recommend this tour - a highlight of our stay in Korea.

Memorable Tour! - Our guide, Bobby Kim, was incredibly attentive! He made sure that everyone was comfortable during the tour. He encouraged everyone ask questions of the important sites that we visited and was always willing to take our pictures in front of them. This was a memorable experience of UNESCO World Heritage sites!
