Wonderful tour and guide Sookhee - I really enjoyed the tour! I went on a Monday so a lot of stores and things were closed and even the tunnel. So keep that in mind. But not to worry, we still went to see the valley and DMZ/Border. Our guide Sookhee was excellent and very knowledgable. I would recommend this tour and guide. She even took photos for people and made sure they enjoyed their time.

Insightful Tour with multiple interesting stops - The Monday DMZ tour was a very interesting and worthwhile experience with comfortable transport (modern minivan) and a fantastic guide in the form of Sookhoe- full of knowledge and passion on what is a difficult history. The choice of multiple pick up points was great as I only had to walk 5 minutes for the 7.20am pick up, then we went to a few alternative sites to the norm (on Monday the third tunnel and Dorasan park is closed I think?) Be warned you won’t get close to looking into North Korea if that’s what you want as even on the clear day we were lucky to have, we could just see some sites and the famous tall flag pole through binoculars. However the monuments, small museum and video, viewpoint, gondola ride, British battle tribute and suspension bridge and temple meant there was a varied range of sights to see. Our small tour group of 5 was dropped off at around 3.30pm at the town hall. Would definitely recommend and thanks again to Sookhoe (guide) and Gilbert (driver) for their manner and professionalism.

Amazing DMZ Tour - Sook Hee was the best tour guide. We had a wonderful time. Especially loved the suspension bridge and the temple that was a short hike from there. So peaceful. Recommend this tour for all.

Monday Tour - Overall, this was an excellent and well-run tour from start to finish. Sookhoe was an outstanding tour guide with impressive knowledge and a very accommodating approach. Even though the weather impacted some of the views, the depth and quality of the information she shared more than made up for it. Despite many locations being closed on Monday, the alternate stops she selected were just as effective and still made the tour highly worthwhile. Highly recommended.
