Gyeongju And Seokguram Grotto Day Tour From Busan

It’s a long day, packed with sites, lots of walking and worth every cent. Evening session well worth the trip… beautiful.

It was one of the most well designed cultural tours I have ever done, and I do not say it lightly, as I am well traveled. I was astonished by the beauty of all the sights, how well they were matched with the time of day, dusk or night to enhance their beauty, and above all, soo, soo impressed by our guide, Lee. So impressed! I seldom see a guide who can balance so well and so elegantly introduction to sights, with cordiality and being helpful to tour members regardless if they want a picture or got lost, and who had the essential sixth sense to know when to give people sufficient free time so they can roam, how to explain what is coming next and even deal with the unexpected, when our bus had a problem that needed two very skilled engineers to come and fix it, but inevitably introduced a delay in the schedule. All this to say I was totally in awe with the tour and impressed by the professionalism of the driver but totally, totally biggest props to Lee! Fabulous guide!

We had a great Trip with Bobby on the 13 September! He was very supportive, informative and gave it all, so we could have the best experience. My Highlight was The Palace at night time :) Although it was a long Trip, everything was on time. I can fully recommed this Trip, especially with Bobby as The tour Guide!

We have booked this tour to Gyeongju and it was so good! We have visited lots of precious and so interesting places. Also, we were very confortable and perfectly attended by our guide Mr. Lee and our driver. Mr. Lee has explained to us everything about the places we have been. He also maked such a beautiful photos of us. Thank you so much for this time!

Amazing! Our guide Esther was a wonderful host for this full day of activities! A great combination of guided and free time. Long day (11 hours) and 15,000 steps, but plenty of opportunity to rest and recharge with a beverage or snack. Beautiful and historic locations I am so glad we included in our itinerary!

Charles was our tour guide, and he did an excellent job throughout the entire tour. He kept everything well organized, managed the schedule efficiently, and made sure the group stayed together while sharing interesting information along the way. The itinerary was very well designed and included some amazing places. My only caveat is that we visited during the middle of the Korean summer, when it was extremely hot and humid, and the tour involves quite a bit of walking and hiking. It was physically demanding and a bit exhausting because of the weather, but that’s not the tour’s fault. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes, stay hydrated, and be prepared for the heat if you’re traveling in the summer!

The area the tour takes you to is gorgeous! I was traveling from Seoul in a one day trip down to this area, so the different pick up options were very helpful. And I decided to take train back from Gyeongju station and the tour was happy to accommodate and even help me find a taxi, although taking a bus to the station worked for me fine. I would recommend coming in spring or autumn, because in July it was super hot in the blazing sun. Otherwise bring a UV umbrella, a fan, and water to survive. There is also a very easy forest walk that is required in order to see one of the Buddha statue that is a national treasure. My tour guide, Charles, was also very helpful and organized. I asked lots of questions and he explained the little things until I was satisfied. Very grateful to his help and tour.

Bobby was the best tour guide ever. Super informative, clear about the itinerary, funny and personable…amazing experience!

Excellent guide who effortlessly managed a large group despite the fact it was raining. I would gladly take another trip with him.

Bob is very nice and tour was awesome i m leaving a review here due to errror in GetYourGuide. Thanks Bob

We spent the day (26th April 2026) visiting many great must-see attractions nearby Busan. Our guide, Bobby Kim, helped us through the many activities with amazing professionalism and passion, and it all kept running smoothly and on time. Totally recommended, especially if with Bob!

I took the tour with my wife, Sylvia. We learned a lot of this tour. I was very interested in the period of history, the Silla and Joseon dynasties and this took me to the places which helped to really visualize the history. Our guide, Bobby Kim was fun and also very knowledgeable. Thank you, Bobby for the great tour.

A great overview of Korean history led by a terrific guide. Learned a lot about the Silla and Joseon dynasties. The area was beautiful. It was especially terrific to have the opportunity to take daytime and nighttime photos. We had time on our own also to get snacks and gifts.

Great way to see a lot of the Gyeongju area in a day! Definitely recommend :)

We originally booked our itinerary on 27 April, but were informed that our trip has been moved to 26 April. Moreover, Klook can only do the review after the journey is completed, so we have to fill in the feedback here. Bobby Kim is very professional and humorous, we like him! Am willing to recommend Bobby to my friends for sure.

Bobby Kim is really excellent guide.He is very caring and knowledgeable. Thank you so much. Leszek

We booked this trip through our agency Journaway through getyourgide. Bobby did an amazing job. He told us a lot of about the places and helped us a lot when we were there. But he also gave us a lot of time to do for ourself what was lovely. He also helped us a lot with making photos!

Wonderful tour with Sophie!! Extremely knowledgeable and was great at explaining all of the history.

I love history and this was the perfect tour that ticked the boxes for me. Although it was a long day we really got to see so much. Sophie was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, and willing to answer all the questions asked of her Very happy I booked this tour, I think you will be too.

Fascinating look at Korea's rich history. From burial mounds to Palaces. Knowledgeable guide helped bring it all to life. A long but memorable day.

This tour was perfect for getting out of the city and exploring historical sites. The sites were stunning, the day though sounds long went by quick with the perfect amount of time between stops. We had a relaxing and beautiful day thanks to Victoria, Justin and Gul. They were so informative, patient and funny. I could tell everyone on the tour enjoyed themselves. They even went out of the way to help me and my friend get off the correct subway to continue on our journey when the tour was done. The night was beautiful, the views spectacular. Don’t hesitate…and thank you again Victoria…we are glad we made the stop at the beach before the train back to Seoul!

Wonderful experience seeing beautiful autumn in Gyeongju-si and learning the history of Shilla dynasty from lovely tour guides of Angela and Sunny. Thank you for your guides on our trip!

A full day trip that covered both a lot of ground and a lot of history in the regions outside of Busan. Bobby Kim and his colleague led the tour with patience and good humour and was able to get our large group moving efficiently and effectively as we visited 5 different places that cover the ancient Silla kingdom. The bus was very comfortable, and Bobby kept us all informed about what was happening and where to be, and when during the day. He gave interesting information about the history of the sites we visited as well as some good stories, and he is also a pro at knowing where the good photo ops are and taking the best photos from the best angles! He shared some extra places that we could visit like inside one of the royal tombs, and a nearby festival that were not usually on the itinerary, and he also shared a shopping voucher with the group which was very kind. If only the autumn showers had held off, it would have been perfect!

I loved every minute of it. I even met a another solo traveler on the tour bus and we visited Gyeongju City as a partner. What a beautiful place with a rich history. I learned the a lot. The bridge that was built about 1000-1500 years ago is amazing.

Very friendly English speaking guide Yoona who made the tour very interesting and fun! We visited the most important places in Gyeongju.

Absolutely wonderful tour. We had plenty of time to explore at every sight. Very informative and fun. Highly recommend. Lucy and Kelvin were great guides. Their pride for Korea was obvious and they enjoyed sharing their knowledge with us.

We had a great tour, with our fantastic guide Bobby Kim. He was talkative and really informative. The tour took us to some different places, with a lot of history, that is explained by Bobby Kim. He was really passionate about telling stories about the places we visited.

Tour was run incredibly well and was very punctual. Our guide Dennis was fantastic and very helpful, I would recommend!

Amy was a lovely and helpful guide! The tour was long but we had a very nice time and enjoyed our day in Gyeongju.

This was a great tour and went to a lot of interesting places. Sophie (who led the English speaking part or the tour) and Cindy are both lovely and Sophie was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and spoke amazing English. Highly recommended tour and tour guides

Juna made the tour so informative and fun, there was no boring part to the day and the scenery was spectacular, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in history and with Juna to help them on the day.

This Tour is worthwhile. It is a long day, so be prepared. Bobby Kim is a wonderful Tour Guide ~ he is attentive, committed to service and towards making sure everyone is taken care of. He is knowledgeable and takes pride in providing relevant information so that you leave with a sense of the history of Korea. The buffet where we went for lunch is super affordable with excellent dining. Bobby also communicated via WhatsApp which made it easy to follow along and reassuring to know that things were in order and timely. Thank you, Bobby for making this Tour so interesting.

Sophie was a great tour guide! Not only did she do a nice job at keeping the group in line but she also shared so many cool facts about the history of each location we visited. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of the ancient kingdom of Silla and would recommend people sign up for this activity if they want to appreciate Korean history a bit more. My personal favorites of the day were seeing the Daereungwon royal tomb complex and the Woljeonggyo Bridge at night.

I've been on quite a few different guided tours, and I can honestly say that this has been my favourite! This is largely due to our tour guide, Lucy, being an absolute delight. Throughout the tour, she was interesting and witty, and displayed a wealth of historical and cultural knowledge, making this an incredible learning experience. An added bonus is that she was genuinely warm and friendly and made me feel like I was hanging out with a friend instead of a guide. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated this. Lucy even assisted me with directions ro additional aites I wanted to explore, and constantly have us tips to take the very best pictures! I also had the pleasure of meeting Victoria on the same bus. Though she wasn't actually our guide, she was still helpful and friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. Logistically, the tour was very well paced, and we had adequate time to explore each beautiful site. Pick-up and drop-off were conducted smoothly, and the bus itself was very comfortable. My only regret is that I don't have enough time to book another tour with them on this trip! I would definitely make another booking the next time I'm in SK.

The guide was very friendly and pleasant. The excursion was well planned, with enough time to take photos and enjoy the places.

Great visit on 05/23/2026 with our guide Bobby KIM!
