She quickly understood that we were interested in the dynastic history of Korea/origins of Buddhism/ cultural influence and was so passionate about her country yet in a super friendly, engaging and informative way. Mrs Han went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. Very good value and extremely enjoyable, this personal tour is highly recommended. There is a moderate amount of walking and steps. The traditional lunch in the heart of Gyeongju was a particular and unexpected highlight! Well done!”
