Great DMZ tour with Chloe - Miss Chloe from Seoul City Tour was very friendly and attentive and made the day interesting, educational and loving. She asked at any time on you have questions, or need help and we felt very comfortable with her.

Great full day trip to the DMZ - Sookhee was a fantastic guide. Very informative with excellent English. Gave us a great itinerary and kept us on schedule, but with plenty of time to enjoy every aspect of the day's tour. The whole family learned a lot throughout the day about the history of the DMZ, border and Korean War. The suspension bridge was a wonderful hike. And the Gondola over the DMZ on the North Korean side was really a surreal experience. Communication with Viatour and the pickup spot was fast and clear instructions and ontime.

​I recently took a DMZ... - ​I recently took a DMZ tour and wanted to share my fantastic experience. The entire tour was exceptionally well-organized from start to finish. Even though our tour fell on the major holiday of Chuseok, the company had a seamless backup itinerary ready, ensuring a fascinating and complete day despite any potential holiday-related closures or changes. ​A huge highlight was our guide, BK. BK was truly outstanding—incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the complex and moving history between North and South Korea. Their passion made the historical context come alive and provided deep insights that went beyond the textbook facts. ​A quick heads-up for future travelers: The weather during my visit was quite warm, reaching about 28 degrees celcius and sunny. Be prepared for some physical activity, as the tour does involve short-duration walks (around 10 minutes each) up moderate hills. Wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the heat, as it can be taxing. ​Despite the heat and the short climbs, the tour was an incredibly worthwhile and moving experience. If you are looking for a professional, well-managed, and deeply informative DMZ tour, I highly recommend this one!

Little time of breaks,... - Short time of breaks, taking into account the amount of tourism. It is advisable to bring food, since the time for lunch is extraordinarily reduced.

No access to DMZ - disappointing - Unfortunately we did not get access to the DMZ zone due to the volume of tourist buses on the day of our trip (100+). We were not offered a refund or an alternative date and instead the guide did her best to make up the time by doing other attractions which were inferior in my opinion. Overall very disappointing.
