Private DMZ tour - We had a private tour with Lucky and it was great. She was patient, knowledgeable, and we loved that she kept things quick (we don't like to linger). The suspension bridge was really cool with great mountain views. The DMZ and 3rd tunnel was unforgettable--also being able to skip ahead and navigate past the larger groups was well worth it. Our guide took so many great pictures of us that we'll be able to keep forever. The tour picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off so we could do some shopping. Perfect day!

Memorable Experience with Lucky - Lucky was an absolutely wonderful guide for our DMZ Tour. She arrived earlier at our hotel and kindly waited while we finished breakfast, which we truly appreciated. She even thoughtfully prepared snacks for me and my son to enjoy on the go, which was such a lovely gesture. She was knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, making the tour both engaging and easy to understand. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip and returned safely to the hotel. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Lucky to anyone visiting the DMZ.

We had a great time with... - We had a great time with Maria seeing the DMZ area. She was very engaging and spoke English. She gave us restaurant recommendations and lots of facts about Korea. Definitely recommend. We had our aged parents with us, so didn’t want to do a big group tour. Maria had a very nice/comfortable van. You still need to do the group bus once in DMZ area, only way to get in.
