This was a very enjoyable tour to see the popular and hidden gems of Gyeongju. Dongmin is a veteran guide of the region and has all sorts of interesting trivia to share about the sights and country. He is passionate about the history of Korea, and is very efficiently laidback, giving ample time to soak in the sights of the packed itinerary, while keeping everything on schedule. Highly recommend!
