A very informative and... - A very informative and meaningful tour. Visiting the border between South and North Korea was both emotional and eye-opening. It reminded me how lucky I am to live in peace and freedom. Truly a memorable experience.

adgmj - Lily is very cute! I love you! I'm glad I had a coffee with my cute kid against the North Korean background! English was easy to listen to. I was relieved to be able to speak a little Japanese. And I'm glad I'm being polite and telling my story.

Highly Recommended - Fun tour and guide. Not boring at all compared to most tours. I liked how Lily's references were current which made the journey much more enjoyable for me as I am younger. I was expected a long and tiring tour as most tours are generally quite informative but she was able to give us the same - maybe even better - information with a unique twist. I enjoyed how you could see her personality and it wasn't forced, really making the experience memorable.

DMZ TOUR Sept 2025 - Last minute booking accommodated well, very smooth visit, Lily was a great tour guide, knowledgeable and kept it fun considering the serious nature of the DMZ. Starbucks as well in the observation area! Would recommend and it was a half day so gives time for something else in the day.
