In the Seokguram Grotto, you can see statues of devas, bodhisattvas and disciples sculpted on the surrounding walls. After that, you will have Tteokgalbi(grilled short rib patties) for lunch.
Here you can watch the animated movie about this thousand year old Silla Kingdom. Take a look at Silla dynasty. The value of the show is on a par with a national treasure of Gyeongju.
The Daereungwon tomb has the large ancient tombs of kings and nobles of the Silla Kingdom.
Near this tomb complex, there is Chemseongdae Observatory which is the oldest surviving astronomical observatory in Asia. The name of this observatory means star-gazing tower.
Around Chemseongdae Observatory, you will see a mix of old historical buildings and newly built hanok at Gyeongju Gyochon Hanok Village. You will figure out how they used to be back in the days. There are lots of handcraft shos and cafes too.

The guide Julia, was very courteous and kind. It was a little difficult understanding her English, but she tried her best to please us in every way. She tried to fulfill the full schedule but it was not possible due to heavy traffic during weekend at Geongju.
Thank you for joining our tour service and glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with my tour guide! Hope you have good memory in Korea! Best Regards Harry
What an amazing day we had with Joy! Best tour guide we have had. Very passionate and knowledgeable bout Gyeong ju history. There wasn't a question that we asked that she wasn't able to answer. Tour was not rushed and was open to other sites to see instead of what her itinerary usually consisted of. Would definitely recommend a tour with her as your guide. Have fun!

We had a really wonderful and interesting day with Mimi. She told us a lot about the history of Korea, especially about Silla. In addition to the impressive historical sites, the highlight was a delicious, typical Korean lunch. Many thanks to Mimi for this great day. Highly recommended overall.

This tour was simply sensational. We love every minute. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel in Seoul and left at the train station to go to Gyeongju, until our meeting with Luke, our guide, and all the places we knew, the restaurant we had lunch, an espresso break and all the way back to Seoul. Very well organized, we had time to get to know all the locations that were on the script. Not even the fine and constant rain managed to interrupt our unforgettable day. Thank you so much for the experience. We highly recommend!!!

My friends and I greatly enjoyed our tour. Our driver was on time to take us to the Seoul train station.. C.K. did a great job as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and explained the history behind the tombs and temples we saw in an entertaining manner. I highly recommend both the tour of Gyeonggi-ju as well as CK
