5.00We visited the DMZ and had a great time with learning from our guide DK, he did a great job providing us with the history between North & South Korea as well as the Korean War. The highlight for me was meeting a woman who defected from DPRK and getting to ask her questions. The group was only 6 people so we got to maneuver around more quickly once we converted from our van to the DMZ bus. Great tour overall (pickup time for us was 6:20am to avoid traffic out of Seoul).

5.00A really great experience! DMZ and suspension bridge. Small group, a great tour guide. BK made a feel like a private tour. He shared interesting information and we could ask a lot of questions. We were picked up in a mini van, which, together with Mr. Kim’s driving, made a comfortable and smooth ride. Thank you both for a day well spent!😊
Very insightful tour of the DMZ

5.00Despite the rainy weather and things being closed for being Monday, we made the best of it with our tour guide Sook Hee, who was very knowledgeable and open to questions. Despite the sombre nature of the tour, it was a good experince and I recommend it. The hike up to the suspensipn bridge at the end is physically demanding, but worth doing if you are able. The views from the bridge were truly breathtaking (albeit I didn't have that much breath left to take after the hike up to the bridge).
Interesting Tour

5.00We had a great day on the monday tour at the DMZ with Suki. Everything was well organized and the tour stops were very interesting even though some things are closed on mondays. It was nice that the DMZ was not that crowded.
An excursion to make when visiting Korea.

5.00Sites such as the Odusan Unification Observatory, which allows visitors to see North Korean territory, Gloster Hill Memorial Park and Heroes Suspension Bridge are indeed places to visit: historic and moving. We were fortunate to have had a guide, Ms Sookhee, motivated, motivating, knowledgeable about her subjects. We would have liked to stay a little longer on some sites to better understand and soak up the events. The trip was also appreciated thanks to the good driving of the driver and his comfortable bus.
