5.00Lily from Seoul City Tour was a phenomenal tour guide ! She was very clear, organized, and had very good energy! She had so many great tips on each part of the tour and kept everyone involved and smiling through the DMZ experience ! The atmosphere was motivating as we climbed down into the 3rd tunnel. The group size was perfect, and we feel united ! The price was definitely worth it ! So many cool memories and historical insights. The tour was a great day trip from Seoul!
