But… What is a UNESCO Heritage Site?
UNESCO heritage sites are places recognized for their exceptional cultural or natural value to humanity. These sites are protected to ensure their preservation for future generations, and Gyeongju is home to some of Korea’s most significant ones!
1. Bulguksa Temple (Included in: Regular, Seokguram, Express)
Designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Asset in 1995, Bulguksa Temple is the representative relic of Gyeongju. The beauty of the temple itself and the artistic touch of the stone relics are known throughout the world, representing the pinnacle of Silla-era artistry.
2. Yangdong Village (Included in: Regular)
Korea’s largest traditional village, showcasing the authentic culture of the Joseon Dynasty amidst beautiful natural surroundings.
3. Daereungwon and Hwangnidan Street (Included in: Regular, Seokguram)
Daereungwon, also known as the Park of Royal Tombs, is a complex containing 23 tombs built during the Silla Dynasty. Among them, Cheonmachong (Tomb of the Heavenly Horse) is open to the public and serves as one of the most symbolic historical sites. Right next door is the famous Hwangnidan Street, which introduces the modern face of Gyeongju with various street foods and trendy cafes.
4. Woljeong Bridge (Included in: Regular, Seokguram, Express)
Woljeong Bridge boasts a rich history dating back centuries. Constructed with sturdy stone arches, it stands as a testament to ancient engineering techniques. Spanning the Woljeongcheon Stream, this historic bridge has been a vital link in Gyeongju’s transportation network for generations, serving as a tangible reminder of the city’s glorious past.
5. Donggung and Wolji (Included in: Regular, Seokguram, Express)
A stunning artificial pond and royal palace site that was first constructed in 674 during the Silla Kingdom. When the Korean government temporarily drained the pond in 1972, thousands of Silla artifacts that had fallen into the lake were revealed. Today, the pavilions reflect beautifully on the mirror-like pond, making it a place filled with historical memories.
6. Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village (Included in: Seokguram)
The village is centered around the Gyeongju Choi Clan, a family renowned for preserving their wealth over 12 generations and producing many influential figures. Visitors can explore the lifestyle and values that allowed the family to achieve this lasting legacy. The village also houses the site of Yoseokgung, the former residence of Silla Princess Yoseok.
7. Seokguram Grotto (Included in: Seokguram)
Seokguram Grotto is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site and one of the finest examples of Buddhist art in the world. Built in the 8th century during the Silla Dynasty, it features a serene granite Buddha statue seated in a domed chamber overlooking the East Sea. The grotto is admired for its precise architectural design and the spiritual atmosphere created by the harmony between nature and human craftsmanship.

Our tour guide was Christina. She was super friendly and informative. She has good English and she messaged the day before to send a reminder and information on the pickup location. She was very nice helping take pictures at must take picture locations. This is my first time doing a tour and Christina has made it a very positive experience.

The tour was well organised and informative. We made a mistake in our booking and our guide for the day (Song) was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone who in interested in Korean history.

I have done many one day tours in many parts of the world. This one was really good and excellent price and service. Esther and Dany were both beyond nice and always willing to help and with a smile. Really amazing people. Loved the experience and will come back to this company. Rodrigo from Mexico

I had a wonderful trip to Gyeongju! Our tour guide Victoria was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history come alive. Mike, our other guide, was also super friendly and helpful throughout the day. The entire experience was well-organized and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour and can’t wait to book another day trip through Korea Travel Easy!

This is for the day/night tour. I had the guide, Enzo. When I first saw him I said, “wow! Jung Kook is my tour guide?!?” Enzo was very kind and provided great narration before and during each stop. The sights were breathtaking, highlighting for me the night portion (choose this if you’re able!) There are opportunities for lunch and snacks throughout the trip but probably not dinner so plan accordingly unless you’re planning to eat late after returning. Finally, please be considerate to others and return at the time when asked. You are not the only person on the tour! All the best on your studies Enzo! Wishing you happiness and success! -Your friend Shawn from Seattle 🙂

The tour was super interesting, stopping in a multitude of great locations. Our guide, Jiwon, provided very good explanations (and she is a very skilled photographer!). I definitely recommend the tour

Tour was comprehensive covering attractions as stated in itinerary. Drive from Busan takes 1.5h, but takes 40jin to pick up other passengers from Haeunda station. Esther our guide speaks good English and very helpful, no rush at each site. But the tour was dampened by consistent rain, cold and wet the whole day.

Essential tour when visiting Korea. Our guide Lucy was in charge of explaining the history of the places we visited perfectly. In addition, we must highlight the kindness in the treatment and the prior information about the route.
Ma*** C*** Philippines
This tour was really good. Our guides, Lucy and Happy, were extra helpful and informative. We were picked up at the meeting place on time and the drive was smooth. It was a really convenient way to get to Gyeongju and see the UNESCO World Heritage sites and National Treasures in the area. After receiving background information on the destinations, the guides gave us free time to explore the areas at our own pace and just set a designated meeting time to head to the next location. Each location had excellent views, great food, and was jam-packed with historical value. We were also able to pre-order our lunch through our guides whilst still on the bus which was a huge time-saver. I would really recommend taking this tour to Gyeongju if you have an extra day to spend in Busan.
So*** A***
I loved the tour. The company complied with everything that was scheduled. They arrived on time, we visited all the places, the guides were excellent. We had lunch in a restaurant with a very good price. The food was homemade and adapted to our taste (for example, they made my dish without spicy). I really recommend the tour, Gyeongju is worth knowing if you go to Busan and the best way to do it is with this tour.

It’s a long day trip, but pretty worthwhile.
