We had a fabulous day with Jesse. The sights we visited were impactful, especially the all lit up Wooji Pond in the evening. Jesse was very patient with our group, and posed us for pictures at some very scenic spots. We would highly recommend this tour.

We attended a small group photo tour with Jesse. He took us on a tour of Gyeongju, outlining the history of the area. Jesse is a great photographer who tweaked his subjects (us) to make sure we presented our best face(s) forward. He knew just the right spots to take the best pictures for my memories of my first visit to Korea since leaving for the US in 1962. We had a small group, and Jesse made sure he looked out for each of us. He was very well organized and knowledgeable for the Gyeongju itinerary. I love flowers and he even took us to the Milllenium Forest Garden … a real treat!

Jesse was a terrific guide, he was very knowledgeable regarding the sites and the period in history. He was very personable and polite it was a pleasure to be there with him. He recommended the most amazing restaurant for lunch, not expensive either.

Was a great way to see the sights in Gyeongju and have some beautiful photos taken . Jessie was a super guide -we had a group of 3 which was also wonderful as it really allowed us an intimate experience. He really leaned in to what the customers were interested in spending more time doing . That is a sign of a great tour guide! Jessie also provided great restaurant recommendations for our time in Busan.

Great tour from comms, commentary to the van being comfy. We had never done a photography tour - it was a fun having someone take photos as you wonder around the sites and also commentary. Jesse was great informative and accomodating. We were lucky enough to see the king cherry blossom 🌸 Excellent lunch recommendation. We got the photos same day. It was a long day so be prepared for that. Highly recommend as best way to see Gyeongju.

David was a delightful guide to all the significant sights around Gyeongju-si which we shared with just one other traveller. He took a heap of pics and provided a lot of context and insight into the sights we visited.

What an absolute treat this tour was!!! David is such a pro!! Both as a tour guide and as a photographer. Creating a relaxed and fun environment to turn us all into great models ;) The fact that it is such a small group makes it a super personal experience. Well worth spending the little extra money to get this unique experience. Thank you Triends!!

David was a great guide. He was funny, friendly, and informative. He took lots of great (and some silly) photos throughout the trip. Our favorite stop was the last one- the palace at night. My only suggestion would be more options for lunch— maybe a street with restaurants for people to choose from. The choices at the restaurant we went to were pretty limited.
