A great DMZ experience, a very small group is the best way to do it! - A private tour of the DMZ and suspension bridge with Sophia. We had a very interesting and informative day about the DMZ with Sophia. She also took a great selection of photos that captured great memories of the day. We also had some local cuisine in a nearby town to the DMZ. Thank you Sophia!

Private DMZ Tour - My mom and I did the private DMZ tour with Sophia as our guide. Prior to the tour, Sophia contacted us about the tour and all relevant info. On the day of the tour, we were ready much earlier than our pick up time and she arrived early, so things were already off to a great start. Her vehicle was nice and clean and she was very informative on a bunch of things about our tour and Korea in general. Everything happened smoothly and timely during our tour. If I were to be in Seoul again, I would use Sophia for another private tour.

DMZ in a Day - My wife and I enjoyed everything about this full day. Our guide Ayann navigated us expertly along while providing insightful explanations at each stop. We were able to get an immersive experience without fighting crowds. This guided tour hits all the highlights along and within the DMZ with an amazing lunch and quick walk along a suspension bridge as added benefits. I suggest this day trip for anyone looking to gain knowledge and insight into the history and current state of the DMZ.

A great day with a great guide! - I did this tour solo and had an amazing experience. Sophia was deeply knowledgeable weaving in historical context, anecdotes, and a fun mix of local color. She timed the sights perfectly to avoid the crowds—making the day both smooth and memorable. Lunch was perfect. Highly recommend!

Interesting for everyone - Vincent was our guide and he was excellent. Highly recommend this tour. It takes most of the day but it is worth it. We went with kids ranging from 5 to 14 and they all were interested and learned about the history and current situation.

Absolutely wonderful! - Sophia I have nothing but great things to say about our tour guide Sophia. She was on time, courageous, knowledgeable, very upbeat and friendly throughout the entire tour to the suspension bridge and the DMZ. She went with us across the suspension, into the third tunnel (which was exhilarating to say the least) and into the new Dora Observatory. All the way she was giving us information that we would not have known without her. She was a real pleasure to have showing us the beautiful countryside of South Korea.. Will definitely be coming back!! Gary and Lori Lett

Unforgettable DMZ Tour! - We had an incredible full-day private tour of the DMZ with our outstanding guide, Jake. From start to finish, the experience was well-organized, informative, and genuinely moving. Jake was not only super friendly and easy to talk to, but he also brought so much depth and context to everything we saw - sharing fascinating and sometimes emotional stories about the conflict with North Korea, the lives of defectors, and the current state of affairs on the peninsula. Each stop on the tour - from the DMZ itself to the Third Tunnel and the observation points - was both educational and impactful. The hike to the suspension bridge was a beautiful way to take in the natural landscape, and we enjoyed the peaceful scenery as a complement to the more historical parts of the tour. Traveling in the private van was extremely comfortable and flexible, which made the experience especially enjoyable for our family. Jake was great at pacing the day in a relaxed and flexible way, which we really appreciated. To top it all off, the Korean BBQ lunch was absolutely delicious—one of the best meals we had during our trip. We also want to give a shoutout to Alicia for her seamless coordination and quick communication. Everything went smoothly from booking to drop-off. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable day trip from Seoul. Thanks again to Jake and the team!
