I did a Busan city tour first and decided to visit Gyeongju afterward. I’m so glad I did because the atmosphere was totally different. Busan felt modern and energetic, while Gyeongju was peaceful and full of history. The tour was well organized and the guide explained everything in an easy and interesting way. Definitely worth adding to a Korea trip.

Gyeongju was completely different from the other cities we visited in Korea. There is so much history everywhere, and the guide’s explanations really helped us imagine what this city might have looked like during the Silla period. Without the stories, we probably would have just taken photos and moved on. A very interesting and beautiful day.

Great and informative tour with great details around the history of each place explained by our tour guide Jonas who was a really nice guy and a great guide. We seen a lot of great historical sites. The only downside was the traffic which made getting to Gyeongju from Busan long and vice versa but this was because of Chuseok national holidays so it couldn't be helped and each stop and visit was super busy as a result of this also. Great day and would so again and thanks to Jonas and the team.

Program

Travel through Gyeongju, following the timeline of the thousand-year Silla Kingdom

Depart from Busan for a day trip to Gyeongju, where the history of the Silla Kingdom comes alive.
