My unique background brings Gyeongju’s heritage to life. As a fifth-generation local and heritage interpreter raised in an archaeologist family, I connect ancient sites with real excavation stories and personal history, offering travelers a deeper, more vivid experience beyond typical sightseeing! :D
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The meeting point is a dome-shaped building. (Jjoksaem Excavation Site) Please come to the entrance and look for Nicky, the guide wearing glasses and a “Walking Tours Gyeongju” name badge. Let her know your name when you arrive.
The tour ends in Gyeongju’s historic city center. After the tour, you can enjoy a meal or coffee at one of Nicky’s recommended local spots, or continue exploring nearby heritage sites.
