Thank you for an awesome tour! - We had a really fun time visiting each of the sights and learning the history of the Baekje Kingdom, which was further enriched by the histories of the two towns Gongju and Buyeo. Each of the sights is definitely worth seeing, especially the Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner, that was the highlight of the tour! The restaurant we stopped by at for lunch was very nice as well. Looking forward to getting another tour! Thank you!

The highlights of the Baekje dynasty (and the Silla in Gyengju) - My wife and I took this tour (Seoul>Gongju>Buyeo) and added a stop in Suwon and a 2 day excursion to Gyeongju (from Daejeon). The combination offers a highlight of the rich Korean history, its UNESCO sites and museums. Dos was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. He tailored his explanation to our needs and was open to ad hoc changes. We did the tour in a spacious and comfortable van piloted by Dos, who introduced us to the fantastic local food. Highly recommended!

Exceptional and perfectly organized tour! - This tour of Gongju and Buyeo was exceptional and perfectly organized. The transportation was seamless, and our guide was both passionate and professional, making Baekje Kingdom history truly come alive. Exploring Gongsanseong Fortress and the serene temple ruins felt like stepping back in time, away from the usual crowds. As a foreign traveler, I was especially grateful for the guide’s thoughtfulness regarding my dietary needs; they arranged a delicious, authentic lotus-leaf rice lunch that felt very respectful. If you want a meaningful, UNESCO-filled day trip with a personal touch, I highly recommend this tour!

I really enjoyed the... - I really enjoyed the Gongju and Buyeo Historical Tour (Baekje Kingdom) from Seoul. Everything was very well organized from the beginning, and meeting at Daejeon Station was easy and stress-free. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained Baekje history in a clear and engaging way, without it ever feeling like a lecture. One of the most powerful moments of the tour was learning about the region’s tragic history while standing before the cliffs where Korean women are said to have taken their own lives rather than fall into the hands of the enemy. Seeing these cliffs in person was deeply moving, and the heavy, sorrowful atmosphere can still be felt there, which made the historical narrative even more impactful. Walking along Gongsanseong Fortress and visiting the historical sites in Buyeo felt calm, authentic, and far removed from Seoul’s crowds. The museums and temple ruins added valuable historical context, and the schedule was well balanced, with enough free time at each stop to explore, reflect, and take photos. Lunch was another highlight. We tried local dishes, including lotus-leaf rice, which was simple yet very authentic and delicious. As a Muslim traveler, I had mentioned my dietary sensitivities in advance, and the guide was extremely attentive and respectful, carefully arranging suitable food options, which made the experience very comfortable. Transportation throughout the day was smooth, including the train journey to and from Seoul and the comfortable vehicle used during the tour. Overall, this tour is an excellent choice for travelers who want a deeper understanding of Korean history and culture, enjoy UNESCO heritage sites, and are looking for a peaceful and well-organized day trip outside Seoul without the stress of planning everything themselves.

Must-Experience Korean Trip 🇰🇷🏯🌸 - I joined the Gongju and Buyeo Historical Tour with Dream Journey Korea, and it was an excellent experience. Unlike many tours that focus mainly on the Joseon era, this tour dives into ancient Korean history, specifically the Baekje Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms period. The itinerary included UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Gongsanseong Fortress, Gongju National Museum, the Baekje Royal Tombs, Buyeo National Museum (home to the Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner), and Jeongnimsaji Temple Site. The route was well organized and explained Baekje history in a clear, chronological way. The guide was highly professional, engaging, and attentive to all details, including dietary needs. I have traveled with this company before and, once again, everything was perfectly organized. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Korean history beyond the Joseon era.

Must-Try Korean Experience 🇰🇷🏯🌸 - I recently joined the Gongju and Buyeo Historical Tour organized by Dream Journey Korea, and it was a truly enriching experience. Many historical tours in Korea tend to focus mainly on the Joseon era and modern history, often leaving earlier periods unexplored. This tour, however, is a wonderful exception. It offers a rare opportunity to dive into Korea’s ancient past by taking participants back to the Three Kingdoms period, allowing for a deeper understanding of the history and daily life of the Baekje Kingdom. The itinerary includes some of the most significant Baekje-era sites, all of which are listed as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites. The tour began at Gongju Gongsanseong Fortress, where we enjoyed stunning natural scenery alongside historical exploration. This was followed by a visit to the Gongju National Museum, where we viewed artifacts excavated from Baekje royal tombs, and then to the Royal Tombs themselves, which brought the history vividly to life. Next, we visited the Buyeo National Museum, home to the famous Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner, considered one of Korea’s national treasures. The tour also included Buyeo Jeongnimsaji Temple Site, featuring a stone pagoda and an ancient stone Buddha statue that have survived from Baekje times. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed to present the history of the Baekje Kingdom in a clear, chronological, and easy-to-understand way, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in early Korean history who wants to explore beyond the Joseon era. As a helpful tip for travelers: if you are participating in the Visit Korean Heritage Campaign and collecting stamps in your visitor passport, be sure to bring it along. This tour allows you to collect four additional heritage stamps in one trip. Lastly, I would like to highlight the professionalism of the guide. He took excellent care of every detail, explained Korean history in an engaging and accessible manner, and thoughtfully considered all participants’ dietary needs. I have traveled with Dream Journey Korea before, and once again, the organization was flawless. I joined this tour with complete confidence, knowing everything would be well planned and smoothly conducted, and my expectations were fully met.

Great history tour - This is a great history tour. If you want to learn about early history of Korea, especially the 3 Kingdom period, then this tour is perfect! I loved the place we went for lunch! We got to try the local dish of lotus wrapped rice. Very delicious! The guide arrange our travel to and from Seoul via train with ease and the vehicle we used from Daejeon was comfortable. Would be great for anyone wanting to get out and explore other areas of Korea.

A thoughtful and enjoyable day outside Seoul - This tour was a very pleasant and memorable experience. Spending the day visiting ancient sites, museums, and royal tombs created a strong sense of connection to Korea’s early history. The atmosphere was calm and reflective, which made the trip especially enjoyable. The schedule felt well paced, with enough time to look around and take everything in without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a meaningful and relaxing way to step away from the city and enjoy something both cultural and enriching.

relaxing trip - A really relaxing trip overall. Traveling by train felt like part of the journey and I even managed to take a nap along the way. The guide was kind and thoughtful which added to the calm vibe. Easy, enjoyable and pleasantly unhurried.

Relaxed and insightful journey~ - It was my second tour with Dream Journey Korea. The guide was super knowledgeable and passionate about the history. This time Buyeo National Museum and the Jeongnimsaji Temple were definite highlights. I would recommend this tour to anyone who are curious about Korea’s ancient past and who want an easy unrushed schedule.
