1. Bulguksa Temple
Bulguksa Temple is the representative relic of Gyeongju and was designated as a World Cultural Asset by UNESCO in 1995. The beauty of the temple itself and the artistic touch of the stone relics are known throughout the world.

3. Daereungwon & Hwangridan Street
Daereungwon, also known as the Park of Royal Tombs, is a complex containing 23 tombs that were built during the Silla Dynesty. There are a number of tombs with significant historical value, but Chenmachong (Tomb of the Heavenly Horse), where the inside of the tomb is open to public, is one of the most symbolic sites. Next to Daereungwon, there is the famous Hwangridan Street, which introduces the modern face of Gyeongju with various street food and trendy cafes.
4. Woljeong Bridge
Woljeong Bridge boasts a long history that can be traced back several centuries. Constructed with solid stone arches, it serves as a testament to ancient engineering techniques. This historic bridge spans the Woljeong River and has been a vital link in Gyeongju’s transportation network for generations, serving as a tangible reminder of the city’s past.
5. Donggung & Wolji

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.
