Annyeonghaseyo! This is Seowoo, who will serve as your guide for your Korea tour. If you are not familiar with Korean pronunciation, you are welcome to call me Brian. I was born in Seoul and have lived in Busan since I was 14 years old. I have worked in the tourism sector for nearly 15 years, with 4 years of experience as a private tour guide. I primarily operate in Busan, but I also conduct private tours in nearby cities such as Gimhae, Ulsan, Gyeongju, and Pohang. To introduce Busan, the city I primarily cover, it is the second-largest city in Korea and is home to the Port of Busan—the seventh-largest port in the world—which handles 75% of our country's exports and imports. Busan’s growth into the nation’s second-largest city was driven by refugees who settled there after the Korean War and by local residents; together, they overcame poverty and put their utmost effort into working in their respective fields. As we tour the eastern and western parts of Busan, I will explain how the city has grown and where the driving force behind that growth originated. In addition to Busan, I also offer tours of Gyeongju—Silla’s thousand-year-old capital and a representative city of Korea’s ancient history—and Pohang, where the country’s largest steelworks coexist with the natural environment. I hope you will join me in enjoying the southeastern region of Korea. Thank you.

Lasted from 57 BCE to 935 CE, Gyeongju had been functioned as a capital of Silla dynasty more than 1,000 years. It started from small village community then slowly developed as one of the major three kingdoms along with Goguryeo and Baekje. In the middle of the 7th century, Silla finally unified three kingdoms and prospered its culture. Through the tour, you will see the inheritance of the dynasty, such as Bulguksa and its pagodas and buildings and royal tombs(Daereungwon) that presents royal funeral process and treasure.
Customized itinerary is possible upon request. The below schedule is my suggestion. Pick up from your hotel (Busan and Gyeongju area both), KTX train station and Intercity terminal etc. 1. Seokgulam Grotto 2. Bulguksa Temple 3. Lunch (Recommend Local restaurant) 4. Daereungwon area(Royal Tombs, free admissione except Cheonmachong - costs 3,000KRW) 5. Gyeongju National Museum
