This was a great tour. Michael the best guide. Nothing too small for him to help with, and lots of fun too. The cherry blossom outside the Hanok was amazing and the night we spent in the village very peaceful. Make sure to visit the mask museum before attending the performance, which is very interesting and lively. The kids enjoyed it too. The village is very special - Over 300 years old and it feels like it has never changed. After the frenetic pace of Seoul, it is a fantastic place to chill out for a day or two.

My tour was lead by Beth who is so sweet, knowledgeable and personable. I learned so much and had an amazing time. And Beth was so helpful, even taking the time to help me sort out my issue with my train to Seoul. And I am grateful to the company too as accommodations were made for me to be able to go on both the tours I booked with them. 10/10 on all three accounts.

Silla is known for having a very dynamic culture and heavy focus on arts and therefore many cultural artifacts have survived throughout Korea’s tumultuous history. Gyeongju is a city where the historical feeling of the kingdom still can be felt and experienced even today as it is so well preserved. During the tour, you can experience Gyeongju’s magical mix of history, tradition, and nature while we visit some of the historical sites that the city has to offer.

I booked the tour with three friends. There was no one else with us, so we had the comfortable bus to ourselves. The guide Jesse spoke English very well and was very flexible and in a good mood. We talked a lot about everything. We really enjoyed it with him. He also took some nice pictures of us during the tour. I am happy to do a tour with him again. :)

Very interesting and thought-provoking. It must be exhausting for North Korea to keep up this ruse for almost 70 years. Although Covid 19 has put a damper on the DMZ tours, our guide made the best of it. She was well prepared with tickets, directions, and instructions.
