Overview of your Gyeongju tour

If you're into ancient cultures and traditions - or just want a break from the fast cars and bright lights of South Korea's bustling cities - take a day trip to Gyeongju, South Korea's ancient capital. Gyeongju is now referred to as "the museum without walls" and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in South Korea, especially for visitors who are interested in the cultural heritage of the Silla dynasty and the architecture of the Joseon dynasty. If you're a foodie and wondering about the cuisine, food in Gyeongju is generally typical of the cuisine elsewhere in Gyeongsang province. However, they do have local specialties that include Gyeongju bread, a red-bean pastry, beopju, a traditional Korean liquor, and more. * I will provide your customized tour quote and flexible itinerary

Our shore excursion with Frank was great. The Bulguksa temple and royal tombs are a must see for sure. We added a visit to the UN memorial cemetery as well which was a deeply moving site. Frank was easy to talk with and provided great background for the whole family. Excellent tour and definitely recommend.

Definitely a must-try tour! Gyeongju is a beautiful and very interesting place to visit. Frank is a great guide. His English is excellent, he is very knowledgeable (about the places, Korean history, and current events) and is patient in answering our questions and taking our pictures. He made us try local rice cakes and we had traditional handmade noodles for lunch, which suited my vegetarian husband very well. Will take the tour again with our kids when we get the chance

Frank was excellent as a guide & driver. Our time was limited & weekend crowds intense but Frank managed the time well. We were able to experience the most important Gyeongu sights, lunch in an "authentic" Korean barbecue restaurant, visit a Korean pottery store. He seamlessly implemented a shift during the last two hours due crowds & traffic. His choice to substitute the U.N. Memorial Cemetery was a somber but appropriate end to our brief day. Frank Yi is a considerate & worthy guide & gentleman.

Frank was fantastic. Words can't describe what a great person he is. He gave 150%. Frank was considerate and took care of my husband & I on rollators & occupied our son. He was well versed in history & contemporary subjects. He spoke English well. He showed us what would normally take 2 or 3 days to see in both Busan & Gyeongju. He was flexible & waited 4 us to take photos which will last us a lifetime. We highly recommend Frank. He was so fabulous that he could be an ambassador for the country. Thank you

Frank is great. He is very knowledgeable - a true local - and is very accommodating. He took us to a delicious Korean BBQ place for lunch and knows all of the great places to eat and snack. The kids and I enjoyed our tour very much and would highly recommend him.

Thank you Frank for his extraordinary guide for eight of us while in Busan, Korea. Frank is very patient, knowledgeable and caring. We really had a great, memorable time in Busan with sightseeings and good foods. With no doubt, I would highly recommend Frank for those who are planning to visit Busan in the near future.
