DMZ tour - We had Sadie as our tour guide. Sadie spoke English well and was very knowledgeable. Sadie was also very organised and made sure we stuck to the schedule without feeling rushed. Lots of free time between each stop. Unfortunately went on a rainy day and could not see anything from the observatory. Would recommend this tour if you want to know a little bit more about the divide/history between South Korea and North Korea.

Great and fun day! - Mr. Young was a very good tour guide. He was funny and knew a lot of information. You get to go close to the border, but it’s very safe
