"Nice to meet you"!! This is BK, who would be your tour guide in Korea one day. I studied tourism and have been a tour guide in Seoul for many years. I decided to come back to Busan which is my home province and run tours here in a lovely city, Busan. I love Busan because it has a unique atmosphere and culture. Surrounded by mountains and ocean, small houses cover almost half of the mountains but also have a beautiful coast line and many beaches. Tall bridges on the shore make it more romantic during the night. I am a kind of person who is thoughtful, outgoing and polite. I am personally interested in history, heritages and nature. So if you have the same interests as me, we can have a great time together!! My van can accommodate 10 guests maximum with free wi-fi service inside. Thank you for reading. Hope to see you soon! - Official tour guide license(English) by Korea Tourism Organization since 2010 - Korean history test (2nd level) by National institute of Korean history - Studied tourism in a college - Worked as a travel agent(In charge of African market) - Fully covered car insurance I don't have any restrictions on my tours.

Pick up at Gyeongju & Drop at Gyeongju Pick up at Gyeongju & Drop at Busan Pick up at Busan & Drop at Gyeongju Pick up at Busan & Drop at Busan What can be a counterpart of Kyoto, Japan or Xian, China in Korea? Those are ancient capital cities in East asia and we have Gyeongju, luckily just an hour away from Busan. Gyeongju(Geumseong, the old name) was the capital city of Silla kingdom from 57 B. C. to 935 A. D. We are going to see historic sites, royal tombs and beautiful buddist temple on the day. Too bad this is one day tour, so we will see the highlights of Gyeongju! - Some photos are provided by Gyeongju city tourism department -

BK was absolutely phenomenal. Excellent and personalized communication each step of the way. Extremely knowledgable guide and very fun to spend the day with! Highly recommend!!!
We had an unforgettable day exploring Gyeongju with our private guide, BK J. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The temple was stunning and peaceful, and the forest walk to the grotto was beautiful. We then enjoyed a delicious traditional Korean lunch with Mushroom Pajeon, soft tofu and mushroom soup, an amazing selection of banchans, and Makgeolli. BK had thoughtfully asked about our food preferences beforehand, which made the experience even more enjoyable. In the afternoon, we visited the Daereungwon Royal Tombs, Gyeongju National Museum, the magnificent Bell of King Seongdeok, Woljeonggyo Bridge, and Gyochon Village. BK was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. His stories brought Gyeongju’s history, Korean culture, architecture, and craftsmanship to life. We were especially fascinated by the incredible engineering behind the ancient monuments and the 20-tonne bell. A truly memorable day and a wonderful way to discover Gyeongju. We highly recommend this private tour to anyone visiting Gyeongju who wants to experience its UNESCO heritage, history, culture, and incredible craftsmanship with a knowledgeable and caring guide! Thank you BK :)
BK was a fabulous tour guide, his depth of knowledge of the area and the sights was impressive. He was thorough and made sure that we had enough time at each stop. Our sons ( 18 and 20 years of age) were also engaged and found BK fun and likable. He was courteous, kind and made sure we had a tour to remember. We highly recommend BK!
BK was an outstanding guide. Very knowledgeable, thorough, patient and flexible. Our adult daughters found him engaging, humorous and charismatic. Fully recommend.
Bk had very good knowledge of the history of where Guengjou fit in history and also regarding the more recent exploration of the area. Also good at explaining and very helpful so we packed a lot into the day. Highly recommended.
