4.00We had a good introduction to the DMZ, and Sokhee was a great host. Would have liked to come closer to the actual sighting and to experience less touristy stuff though.
I enjoyed the trip but I wish it was a bit longer

5.00I had a great time at the dmz tour trip. The tour guide was nice and informative. I wished it was a little bit longer to fully enjoy and explore the area instead of speed running selfie and photos. The nature is very beautiful, the museum was wonderful and I learned a thing or two, hiked up to the temple shrine and I got to explore the abandoned bunkers and trenches. I will definitely go back to the near mountainous border in the future by myself to see more of it. Thank you 윤숙희, I learned a few things about my country and fulfilled my bucket list as Canadian Korean.
Amazing experience

5.00Highly recommend the Monday tour. Locations were quiet and the tour has alternate stops to the other day tours. Sook-hee was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about Korean history and the locations we visited. Sook-her looked after our group and I would highly recommend her as your guide.
