Amazing DMZ experience. Highly recommend - We had an amazing tour and experience. It was emotional hearing from a defactor who escaped North Korea. Our guide BK was fantastic. Observatory and walking through tunnel 3 was the highlight for me. The whole day was a great experience.

We had a great time... - We had a great time exploring the DMZ with Young. The pickup was smooth, and he had a lot of interesting information to share. We also went on a bitterly cold day, and Young did a great job of making sure we saw everything, but didn’t stay anywhere too long and freeze. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to seethe DMZ during their time in Korea!

So so good all around! Do this tour!! - From pickup to drop off, BK was fantastic. Excellent info, good pace, it was like a private tour in amongst a bunch of 20+ person tour groups. Also the van ride was smooth and comfy (I get motion sickness easily). Seriously can't recommend enough!

Outstanding tour, BK was terrific, recommend winter in Korea - BK was outstanding, would highly recommend him and this tour agency. My wife is from Thailand and I'm from Hawaii, we specifically chose to visit Korea in winter for a change of climate and recommend those from warm countries to do the same. This is our second tour with the agency and we will book again in the future. Laurence from Hawaii

Memorable visit at DMZ - Bk was patient and explained everything clearly The personal anecdote by the NK survivor was memorable. A pity some sites were closed due to political tension at the moment but it did not affect the overall experience.

Fascinating view into the DMZ - Mr Young was fun, friendly and knowledgable about the complex history of the DMZ. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who has an interest! We saw some extremely interesting and beautiful sights, getting a great glimpse into the DMZ situation and North Korea. We were well taken care of throughout the day, and plenty of opportunities to stop and explore and learn more.

A fascinating experience full of history - Had a great time seeing some key sights and hearing about the incredibly complex and fascinating history of Korea and the DMZ with Mr Young across half a day. He was funny, friendly and full of knowledge, and the sites were interesting to visit and learn more about the history. The tour group was small, so it felt very private and flexible as to what we wanted to do and made for a nice atmosphere meeting new people. All admission fees were covered in the price of the tour, and always felt well taken care of and guided by Mr Young. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who has an interest in this recent part of Korean history.
