Gyeongju Private Tour: Unveil Korea's Eternal Beauty

We had a wonderful day in Gyeongju with our guide Joy. She is a very pleasant and cultured person. She speaks very good English. She showed us the most beautiful places and her explanations were very interesting. She gave us several recommendations. Her vehicle is very clean and comfortable and she drives very carefully. My husband and I had an exceptional day. We recommend her services without hesitation. Among the best guides we have ever met.

We had the most amazing private tour in Gyeongju with our guide, Lily. From the moment she picked us up, she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. She shared so much about Gyeongju’s rich history, culture, and traditions in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand — even my 9-year-old son was fascinated! Lily planned the route perfectly so we could see all the UNESCO heritage sites without feeling rushed. We visited the ancient tombs, Bulguksa Temple, and other beautiful places, and she shared wonderful local stories that made each place come alive. She also took us to a lovely local restaurant for lunch — delicious, authentic, and exactly what we were hoping for. Throughout the day, she was patient, flexible, and always attentive to our needs. It truly felt like exploring the city with a local friend who loves what she does. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Korea, and I highly recommend the Private Gyeongju Tour with Lily to anyone who wants a meaningful, stress-free, and memorable experience. Thank you, Lily, for such a beautiful day — we’ll never forget it! 💛

Finn was an excellent tour guide in Gyeongju. He was very professional and knowledgeable of Korean and contemporary history. I was so impressed with the majestic beauty of the Bulguksa Buddhist temple. We also ate at a wonderful traditional Korean restaurant with delicious and authentic dishes, that he explained thoroughly to me. Thank you, Finn!

We had such a wonderful experience with Arthur! He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient throughout our tour. He knew all the most efficient routes and timing, which made a huge difference in navigating the busy holiday crowds. He truly went above and beyond— adjusting plans on the fly to fit our schedule, and making everything smooth and stress-free. He’s also very personable and engaging; we learned not only about the rich history of the places we visited but also about everyday modern life in Korea, which made the experience even more special. He exceeded all our expectations, and we could not be happier. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Gyeongju or Busan!

This tour was excellent! Lily was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide who made the experience truly enjoyable. Because it was Chuseok and there were crowds and heavy traffic everywhere, Lily went above and beyond to adapt the itinerary to the circumstances — and she did it perfectly. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Had an amazing day learning about the history of Gyeongju and Busan. Seeing all of the historical landmarks was great. Thank you to our spectacular tour guide, Finn. He was able to take us around all day and give us so much information. Made our trip to Busan so memorable!

We had a great day exploring the temples and burial mounds with Jason. We don't always take guided tours but this is our first time in Korea and Jason used the car journey from Busan to explain all kinds of information about the history, religion and culture of the area. The temple was beautiful, peaceful and a great experience to see the relics. The burial mounds area is unlike anywhere we have been before and the exhibits are well presented here and in the museum. Our lunch was delicious. We travelled with our teenage son and Jason helped us to work out what the best itinerary would be to keep us all interested, and I am happy to say we all enjoyed our day.

We had a fantastic day with our guide Cynthia in Gyeongju! She showed us all the highlights and, with her extensive knowledge and calm way of explaining, really brought the history to life. The little quiz questions in between made the tour even more fun and interactive. We also had a great meal together at an authentic local restaurant and learned a few words Korean! Exactly the kind of place you would never find on your own. Cynthia combines professionalism with a personal touch and makes you feel completely at ease. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover Gyeongju in an engaging and enjoyable way! Cynthia is amazing!

Jason Lee was kind, attentive and very professional. He even helped me to find my place on cut and crowded streets during the local festival. Gyeongju is a must in Korea and to have the support of a professional guide really makes the difference.

Mimi is a wonderful tour guide with great personality and energy. She helped us pack as much into our tour as time and travel allowed and explained a lot about the Unesco sites/sights in beautiful Gyeongju area and introduced us to a delicious soondubu restaurant off the beaten track. She also helped us arrive safely and quickly to Busan. We all enjoyed meeting her and highly recommended Mimi.
