A Foray into Modern Korean History - A definite highlight on our Korean trip. Our guide Andrew was super knowledgable and truly enlightened our experience. He made sure we got the times we wanted and filled us in on lots of history during the drive from Seoul to the DMZ. There are a lot of things to see at the site and he gave us insight every step of the way. You can go to the DMZ on your own but our experience would have been half what it was without this tour. Transportation was nice and comfortable. Warning - it is a full day so plan accordingly.

Great Experience - Great visit with Andrew Chung who made the experience really unique. I even hosted a small party nearby the border, Andrew found a location for me and my family, we had a wheelchair and 3 kids with us. The explanation at the DMZ has been insightful and very educative. Highly recommended.
