Amazing tour! - What an amazing day we had with Joy! Best tour guide we have had. Very passionate and knowledgeable bout Gyeong ju history. There wasn't a question that we asked that she wasn't able to answer. Tour was not rushed and was open to other sites to see instead of what her itinerary usually consisted of. Would definitely recommend a tour with her as your guide. Have fun!

Impressive tour - We had a really wonderful and interesting day with Mimi. She told us a lot about the history of Korea, especially about Silla. In addition to the impressive historical sites, the highlight was a delicious, typical Korean lunch. Many thanks to Mimi for this great day. Highly recommended overall.

This tour was... - This tour was simply sensational. We love every minute. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel in Seoul and left at the train station to go to Gyeongju, until our meeting with Luke, our guide, and all the places we knew, the restaurant we had lunch, an espresso break and all the way back to Seoul. Very well organized, we had time to get to know all the locations that were on the script. Not even the fine and constant rain managed to interrupt our unforgettable day. Thank you so much for the experience. We highly recommend!!!

Enjoyable Gyeong-ju tour - My friends and I greatly enjoyed our tour. Our driver was on time to take us to the Seoul train station.. C.K. did a great job as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and explained the history behind the tombs and temples we saw in an entertaining manner. I highly recommend both the tour of Gyeonggi-ju as well as CK

A day into the historical era - Mimi is very helpful and do not mind to go the extra miles just to help us feel comfortable during the trip. She is very informative about the Silla Kingdom and gave us very good explanation throughout the trip. Mimi is also very flexible with her schedule to fit into our needs. Thank you Mimi and Here Korea for the arrangements and making our Busan trip a memorable one.

Amazing Tour Guide!! - Joy was absolutely wonderful!! She brought us special Korean cookies as a way of welcoming us to her country, which made us feel comfortable from the start. She catered to all our picture taking needs, as well as capturing some of her own to send us later. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the country and area, and her quest to learn more has really shown. We truly enjoyed our time with Joy and would recommend her to anyone traveling here. Not to mention, the area is beautiful!
