Book This - Andy is a Legend!

5.00Andy was absolutely fantastic, and this tour was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. If you’re scrolling through endless options trying to decide, stop now and book this one — you won’t regret it. Before arriving in Korea, we spent a lot of time comparing tours and guides, and I am so glad we chose Andy. He was kind, fun, knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and even had great awareness of what’s going on in England and around the world. From the moment he greeted us with a traditional Korean breakfast, to the thoughtful little touches throughout the day (like buying us a sports drink after climbing Tunnel 3 and even a North Korean ice cream later in the day), Andy went above and beyond to make the day special. The itinerary was perfectly planned to avoid crowds, which meant we often had breathtaking spots all to ourselves. We started with the suspension bridge — a real highlight, though be prepared for a bit of a hike (good shoes recommended!). Andy happily took photos for us all day, making sure we had memories captured without ever needing to ask. From there, he arranged everything smoothly: shuttle bus tickets, timings at the DMZ, and clear explanations of each site. The Third Tunnel was fascinating (and a bit of a workout at 1.6 km), but Andy’s enthusiasm and detailed explanations brought everything to life. At the observatory, he pointed out interesting sites across the border, which we would have completely missed on our own. Later, we visited the Unification Village, where Andy treated us to ice cream and gave us time to browse without any pressure to buy, we just had a wonderful chat whilst a few others browsed the shop. The day ended with an unforgettable gondola ride at sunset — the perfect finale. Andy then drove us back to our hotel (offering to drop us anywhere we wanted), another small but thoughtful gesture that summed up his care and professionalism. Throughout the day, Andy couldn’t have done more to make our experience exceptional. He really went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying ourselves. We’ve already decided that when we return to Korea in 2028, we’ll be booking with Andy again. I’ve also offered to show him around the UK if he ever visits, Andy is a super fun person to be around! Without hesitation: 100% recommended!

5.00Really nice vehicle and great guide/driver. He didn’t overwhelm us with too much information as there’s plenty to read along the way. We had a great day and appreciated being in a private setting plus we got to see some other places on the way back.
DMZ personalised tour.

5.00A sobering experience and insightful view of Korea’s history. We were fortunate to have a caring and sensitive guide who took his time to explain issues and catered to our every needs. He was very well supported by an excellent careful driver who also was very caring. If you choose this activity I hope Aaron and Dominic are your team.
