Private half day tour of DMZ - AJ was amazing. She was very informative of the history of Korea and DMZ. AJ has a fun and positive personality that made for a great experience! Strongly recommended 1/2 day tour. Was able to see all the things at the DMZ and was returned to hotel to have rest of day to do things in Seoul.

Amazing Experience! - We had an incredible private DMZ tour with Mia as our guide — she was fantastic from start to finish. Mia was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and politics of the area, but also warm, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She made a very complex topic feel accessible, and was great about tailoring the tour to our interests, especially when it came to the military history and hidden stories of the region. The whole experience felt smooth and well-organized, but never rushed. We learned so much, had time to reflect, and appreciated how she added personal insight that made the tour feel more meaningful. If you’re considering a private DMZ tour, I can’t recommend Mia highly enough — she truly made the experience unforgettable.

Very informative private tour with Lizzy - We went on a private DMZ tour with Lizzy and really enjoyed it. It was super interesting, we learned a lot and the pick-up was at our hotel. She gave us a very in-depth insight into the history and current situation between North and South Korea.

Great experience with BK as our private guide! - Great experience! We definitely recommend a private visit of DMZ with BK as your guide. He was really knowledgeable and shared many facts and stories about the 2 koreas’ history. He guided us to navigate smoothly the various sites without having to cope with the crowds, and answered our many questions. The pick up and transfer by private van from and to Seoul was very confortable and smooth as well.
