An unforgettable experience - Today we had the opportunity to discover Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Silla, on an excursion that was much more than a sightseeing tour: it was a real journey back in time. Thanks to our guide JUN, who accompanied us with patience, closeness and a deep knowledge of history and culture, we were able to understand the greatness of this city considered an open-air museum. Each explanation was full of details and anecdotes that made us see the temples, palaces and tombs with different eyes. We visited such iconic sites as Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, Bulguksa Temple and Daereungwon area, and at each stop the experience was enriched by their words. It has been a very complete, well organized and perfectly paced excursion, where we not only learned, but also enjoyed and connected with the essence of Korea. I totally recommend this experience to any traveler who wants to live Gyeongju in an authentic and special way.

Worthwhile Tour - This Tour is worthwhile. It is a long day, so be prepared. Bobby Kim is a wonderful Tour Guide ~ he is attentive, committed to service and towards making sure everyone is taken care of. He is knowledgeable and takes pride in providing relevant information so that you leave with a sense of the history of Korea. The buffet where we went for lunch is super affordable with excellent dining. Bobby also communicated via WhatsApp which made it easy to follow along and reassuring to know that things were in order and timely. Thank you, Bobby for making this Tour so interesting.

Sophie was a great tour... - Sophie was a great tour guide! Not only did she do a nice job at keeping the group in line but she also shared so many cool facts about the history of each location we visited. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of the ancient kingdom of Silla and would recommend people sign up for this activity if they want to appreciate Korean history a bit more. My personal favorites of the day were seeing the Daereungwon royal tomb complex and the Woljeonggyo Bridge at night.
