Highly recommend this tour company and guide - We visited a number of DMZ sights including the Odusan Unification Tower and sights at Imjingak like the steam engine, Skywalk, Bridge of Freedom and Beat 131 (Underground bunker). We then spent time at the War Memorial of Korea and finished up at the Seoul Tower. The tour gave us new insights on the devastation of this war and then the speed in which South Korea rebuilt is truly remarkable. Our tour guide and driver, Brian was excellent. He was knowledgeable and interesting. We would highly recommend this tour company and guide.

Amazing half day private DMZ tour! - Very nice half Day spent in DMZ - our driver and guide Justin picked us up at our hotel on time with a very comfortable van. We spent About 90 minutes on our way to DMZ. We saw the 3rd infiltration tunnel, Dorasan train station, Dora observatory, Imjingak park and much more. Justin knew a lot of interesting information and was able to answer all our questions. We would Just appreciate to have more time at each stop of the tour - but this is not "problem" of the guide as you have to follow the instructions and itinerary of the DMZ officials. :)

Memorable tour with the perfect guide. - My husband and I always book Viator’s private/custom tours in our travels to Asia. As travelers we want to make most out of the extra money we spent on these private tours. Need less to say, the tour guide can either make or break our travel goals. We visited yesterday DMZ and the N.Seoul Tower and we were so lucky to have Andrew Chung as our tour guide. This gentleman is the perfect tour guide . . very pleasant, knowledgeable (we learned a lot from his narration of the history of the Korean war) , attentive, an accommodating photographer . . all in all we simply felt that we are in good hands. What also made this trip memorable is that after the tour, Andrew led us to this wonderful restsurant where ( Andrew says) Korean Presidents and celebrities dine. True enough the restaurant walls are filled with pictures of famous people. But the highlight is the sumptous food that we had.

DMZ, Tunnel, and War Memorial - Excellent Tour. Tour guide Jay Im was great. Excellent explanations. We were initially also going to the Tower as part of the tour but after speaking with us he determined the war memorial would be more interesting to us and he was right.

DMZ worth the teip - We had a great guide Henry who took us to the DMZ. He was really knowledgeable and made a difference. Much better than a public tour. Once you get to the DMZ area though everyone is loaded onto the same buses and so the timing is decided by the DMZ people. The third tunnel was crowded and we didn’t have enough time to make it right to the end as the line kept stopping. So we had to get back to the surface which was a shame. Might be better to go during the week as it was really busy on a sat. A great experience. Sad to see how many families are seperated by the DMZ.
