Well-rounded experience - Tour guides gave helpful facts and information during the trip, also very accommodating during the bus ride ( e.g gave opportunities to get fresh air and bathroom breaks) :D

Awesome experience - Jun gave an awesome tour for us! We loved that the tour was not fully guided; there was a good amount of free time, and the Starbucks experience was amazing. You really don’t need to go to any other spots to experience the DMZ.

Starbucks Tour with North Korea in View - Mr. Im, our guide, was very fluent in Japanese and had no trouble with the language. On the way out, it was very meaningful because there was a commentary on the history of the Korean Peninsula in Japanese, and I was able to visit the observatory and Starbucks after learning the background. I think it was a tour worth the time and money.
