Old Korea Thousand History Tour Of Gyeongju From Busan

We had a fun time with our knowledgeable guide Kayla, who also took our pictures at her favourite spots. The places we visited were do beautiful. Lunch so delicious.

Tour was amazing and thought-out from start to finish. Recommend to anyone who likes to see and learn about Korean history. Our guide was wonderful who made the entire day very enjoyable

We took this trip a couple of days ago. It was well managed, and everthhing went as scheduled. Hyony did a great job in keeping the group entertained and informed about the sites that were being visited. She was well prepared, showed us slides/videos during the bus ride to give us a history of the area. Highly recommed the tour, and 5 stars to Hyony.

Hyony was fantastic! She guides, organizes logistics, and takes photos, all at once and so efficiently that it never felt like effort. Always smiling, kind, and funny, she clearly puts her heart into her work. She even gave us a video of the day and tips on where to eat at our arrival in Busan. Highly recommended!

Rye was an amazing tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through each activity, making the entire experience enjoyable and seamless. The tour was jam-packed with amazing activities and great stops. Definitely wear comfortable shoes because there’s a lot to explore! Rye made the experience even better.

Kari and Hyony were fantastic guides. Kari gave thoughtful, detailed explanations at every stop, and I left with a much deeper understanding of Gyeongju and Korean history. The itinerary was very well planned, and both communicated clearly and concisely throughout. Kari was also very funny, and always attentive and considerate, making sure everyone in the group stayed together and understood what we were seeing. At the end, Hyony surprised us with a special gift she'd put together for the group, a lovely touch and a perfect way to wrap up the day. I highly recommend this tour and these guides, and I'd love to tour with them again if I get the chance!

Great experience and the locations are beautiful. The information and history provided was very informative and interesting.

Ryu was a friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide for our trip to Gyeong-ju. Thank you to Ryu, the driver and also the other guide who looked after the Chinese guests.

I love ghost 💖 stories be prepared to walk a lot with Shawn and share supernatural stories from home

Well selected stops. Incredibly well-timed. Felt like there was no way it would get dark in time and then it was perfect.

Long day of tour including Bulguksa temple, Gyochon, Chunmachong to name a few. Wish the national museum was included in the trip but maybe on the next visit. Our guide, miss Kim Ji Eun, kept the all day fun and energetic.

Had a great tour, seeing some different places. Ellie was a fantastic tour guide, with great knowledge and made us laugh. Would definitely recommend this tour

Hyony was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, easy to understand and kept us all happy and on time. Highly recommended!

It was a fun tour of Gyeonju. Kayla was a great tour guide! She's very funny and kept everyone on schedule. She also took some great photos for us. I would highly recommend the tour. Thanks Kayla!!

Beautiful tour of amazing places. This tour is a must to get a better understanding of the Korean history. Hyoni, our guide, has an incredible personality. She is funny, bubbly and managed to keep a large group together. She is enthusiastic about her culture and it made our day extremely special and memorable. Thank you HYONI !!!! If I could rate you a 10 I would.

Great tour seeing multiple different kinds of sights. A temple, very old village, burial mounts and a street with so many delicious snacks. Also a very nice temple garden pond which illuminated beautifully at night! Unfortunately, because of a festival we couldnt see the bridge at night. But it still was an amazing Silla tour non the less! The tourguide actively helped me get on a faster tourbus back to my pickup point, too!

I had a great time during this tour. Joseph was very patient, very friendly and knowledgeable about the history. I will definitely recommend Joseph as guide 😊

We saw different places and got some historical explanation! Our guide, Joseph, was very caring for the group. He took photos for us and even carry bottles of water for the group. We closed the tour with a gorgeous night view of Gyeongju.

This experience was a lot of fun. The views, especially at night were breathtaking. We loved the villages and being able to explore, shop and try various different t types of food. Ryu, was great! He was funny, personable and loved me explaining the history of the areas.

Our Gyeongju day tour was an unforgettable journey through the rich history of the Silla Kingdom. We started at the magnificent **Bulguksa Temple**, where we admired its beautiful Buddhist architecture and learned about its cultural significance. We then explored Gyochon Traditional Village, with its charming hanok houses, before visiting the Daereungwon Tomb Complex to discover the unique royal burial mounds of ancient Silla. After strolling through the lively Hwangridan-gil, filled with cafés and local shops, we continued to Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, where the beautifully restored palace and tranquil pond showcased the elegance of the Silla dynasty. The tour ended with the spectacular night view of the illuminated Woljeonggyo Bridge, a perfect finale to an incredible day. Our guide, Kayla Kim, was knowledgeable, responsible, and had a wonderful sense of humour. His engaging storytelling made Korean history both easy to understand and enjoyable. The itinerary was well organized, covering Gyeongju's most iconic historical and cultural landmarks in one day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Korean history and heritage.

Absolutely wonderful. Kayla had so much energy and passion, she really made the trip exceptional. The best tour guide I have had the pleasure of encountering in many years of travelling. Well done Kayla. 슈퍼스타

This was an excellent all day tour. There was adequate time at each stop, including time for lunch and dinner culminating with spectacular night viewing of Wolji Pond and Woljeonggyo Bridge. Our tour guide Kee was outstanding. His English speaking was the best of anyone we met during our time in Korea. He was clear in his instructions, kept us on schedule, and was very knowledgeable. He contacted us prior to the tour to make sure we knew where the pick up point was, including pictures. He even gave us advice on where to go after the tour and sent us additional information after the conclusion of the tour. He even took pictures of us at the bridge using his phone with a special attachment light and sent them to us after the tour. Overall an excellent tour for a great price.

He, was a very great guide he was super chill the whole day talked with us a lot, funny and informative

Extremely friendly, informative and fun guide - Katrina She made the day an incredible experience. We loved her stories of the history of Korea.

Hyony and Cherie did a great job in looking after our big group. Great tour and wholly fascinating!

We were underwhelmed by the majority of the stops and felt that we were at each stop too long. The palace is really remnants of a palace and we didn’t even see those. It’s basically a walk around a pond with three pagodas. Our guide, Sohee was wonderful. This review is not a reflection on her but the entire very long day. From Busan station this trip is a solid 12 hours. At the cultural village, we did find a very cool bar called Bar Boon, which opens at 4 o’clock. We felt this tour was way too long with too much time at each stop. But if you have plenty of time in Busan and want to get out of town for the day, then this could be a great tour for you. The bus is an extremely nice bus.

My friend and I went to this Busan to Gyeongju today with Lecirt. Our tour had three guides, for three different languages. Ours was Kim Hee Yeong,a very professional, attentive, respectful and knowledgeable guide. He was particularly discerning with all participants, taking time to get to respond to specific need, question or struggles when he sensed someone need more time, help and support. It was a long history tour, yet Hee and the driver made it pleasant, comfortable and very safe, on the road and at the various locations.

We had the tour yesterday, and it was really worth it. It was a great, but definitely long tour, with all the important sights. Our tour guide Hyony was amazing. She is a kind, smart and knowledgeable person. Highly recommend

Our tour guide, Kee did excellent jobs, he made my day

Very interesting historic tour. Our tour guide was Hyoni. She has very welcoming and enthusiastic with her explanations about each site. Worth the day trip from Busan .

Great time, lots of fun! Saw all the sights and enjoyed every second of it! Good people, great experience.

We had the most wonderful day tour from Busan to Gyeongju with Hyony, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience—especially as this was part of our honeymoon. The itinerary was incredibly well thought out and organised, allowing us to see so many beautiful and historic sites without ever feeling rushed. At the same time, there was just the right amount of flexibility built in, giving us some quiet moments to explore on our own and really take everything in at our own pace. What truly made the day unforgettable was Hyony herself. Her storytelling brought the history of Gyeongju to life in such an engaging and memorable way. She has a fantastic sense of humour, and we found ourselves laughing while learning—something that made the entire experience feel personal and unique rather than just another tour. We genuinely feel like we discovered a new appreciation for Korean history because of her. A big thank you as well to our driver, who was absolutely amazing—so friendly, professional, and made getting around completely effortless. A true legend! We would 100% book again with Hyony and her support team in the future, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, fun, and well-balanced experience.

Awesome tour. The bus was split into three separate groups by languages so whenever we reached a destination, we would split off into 3 smaller groups, one in English, one in Chinese, and one in Japanese. Our guide was a girl named Hyony and she was great. Very informative and helpful with resolving issues or providing recommendations over whatsapp. She was very bubbly and always kept the spirit high of the group even if the trip was overall tiring but fulfilling at the same time.btw Hyony is an awesome photographer

An affordable and well organized tour to see the historic complex in Gyeongju, which is dubbed "museum under open sky". Special credits to our guide who timed the visit for a photo op with a lighted temple in the dark.

A really well-planned day to see all of the key highlights of Gyeongju. Each stop was very thoughtfully done with the perfect amount of time. I must also give. Shoutout to Kee, who was an incredible guide- truly the best balance of information/guided moments and allowing everyone to explore solo. Thanks Kee and team for an amazing Korean experience.

The trip to Gyeongju was an absolutely outstanding experience – it definitely deserves 5 stars! Everything was very well organized, and the itinerary was both interesting and diverse. The journey was comfortable thanks to the bus, and the program itself was perfectly planned. Special thanks go to all guides, who were incredibly helpful, kind, and engaged throughout the entire trip, as well as for the beautiful photos. A particular mention goes to Hyony, who guided us – her knowledge, storytelling, and passion made the history and culture of this place truly fascinating. It was not only a beautiful trip, but also a very valuable experience. I would highly recommend it to everyone! 😊

The “Old Korea Thousand History Tour of Gyeongju from Busan” with Kee was great! The day is packed but Kee and the other guides handled the large group and logistics amazingly! It’s a great mix of guided and self-directed.

We had a truly wonderful experience on the “Old Korea Thousand Years of History Tour” to Gyeongju from Busan. The tour was very well organized and offered a fascinating insight into over a thousand years of Korean history. Visiting iconic sites such as Bulguksa Temple and the Daereungwon Tomb Complex made the rich cultural heritage of Gyeongju come alive in a very engaging way. What we especially appreciated was how informative yet relaxed the entire day felt. We learned a great deal without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. A special thank you goes to our tour guide, Hyony, who did an excellent job. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly manner made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history and culture.

Informative tour with beautiful sights. Well paced day with plenty of time at each stop to soak in the history and the views. Kee was such a fantastic guide - thank you for making our day so enjoyable!

Review of Geyongiu Three Kingdoms Capitol 11/4 /2026. Hyony guide. What a fantastic day.Despite the weather I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Hyony was a great guide. Caring and informative. I felt so well looked after. I wanted to see Korean history and culture and travelled to Busan for that. I was not disappointed but thrilled. The day was packed with History which is perfect for me. I have been on many organised trips while travelling but this was the best one so far. I was particularly please there was no forced shopping. 100% recommended to culture vultures. Thank you Hyony. Also thank you to our driver super smooth journey. Alison United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Very nice excursion from Busan to Gyeongju. The tour took us to various temples and tombs throughout the city, truly revealing the city itself to be a "museum without walls." Lots of history presented and it was greatly appreciated by me, as someone who likes history. It is a 12 hour excursion, prepare accordingly. Food was not included on this tour, lunch is available for a nominal fee, which most of the tour group took. We did get to sample some Korean rice wine though. Traveled solo on this excursion. Our tour guide was Hyony, who gave a good representation of the history of the city and finer points of each attraction. Our trip got rained on sadly, but at least we had a good time. A good recommendation for a day trip from Busan.

Very good tour! An entire day of sightseeing with just enough information and time for every place. I highly recommend it. The guide was great, fluent and very clear English and very friendly

I booked my trip via booking.com. Our guide Hyony was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable and extremely organised. She contacted us the day before and told us the detailed schedule, the forecast, what to bring and also provided us the pictures of the menu of the restaurant she was going to bring people to (of course, we could choose either to go or not). At the sites, she took us around and provided interesting information. She also took us to the best places to take pictures (and took beautiful pictures for anyone who asked). In my opinion, thanks to her, this was the most beautiful and memorable tour. She is truly professional and funny. I definitely recommend it.

We had a Fantastic Day. Tour Guides were Amazing. Very helpful. Definitely would go again. Have taken many photos of the places we visited.

Definately recommend this tour. Very well organized and plenty of free time in esch object.

We did this tour and we were very satisfied. Our English guide was Kayla and she was very good. She is very entertaining and funny and also gives you a lot of interesting information about the places you visit. She really likes her job and that shows. Highly recommended

Excellent tour. I enjoyed the company with Kayla Kim. She did amazing! Hope when I go back to Busan, we’ll see her again in some other tour.

Thank you to Hyony and the bus driver for a fantastic tour of Gyeongju! Super fun and informative, was great seeing such important places and treasures of South Korea. An absolute must if you have a spare day in Busan :)
