“We had an amazing day touring the UNESCO sites in Gyeongju with Sang. Pickup was seamless, he met us right at our hotel with our luggage, which was incredibly convenient. We spent the whole day sightseeing before he drove us straight to our next hotel in Busan that evening. Sang was a fantastic guide. He was great at reading our interests and tailoring the day to fit what we’d most enjoy, which made everything feel more personal and less like a checklist. His English is excellent, and he is friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to throughout the day. Highly recommend touring with Sang!”
