5.00We had the best time on our tour with our guide Moon. A tour to the DMZ is really special and different to other guided tours. We learned a lot about korean history, also by personal examples from Moon herself. We did the 7 hour tour which was a good amount of time without feeling rushed.
Fine stars to Emily

5.00Alex gives an incredible tour, with exceptional historical knowledge, personal stories, and shopping tips. (Buy the snail lotion!) He was entertaining and funny! Visiting the DMZ is something everyone should do - the separation of Korea is a tragedy. My children (18, 17, 14 & 12) loved Alex as well and learned so much. As a bonus, Alex even gave us restaurant recommendations. Book this tour!
Amazing tour, very helpful guide

5.00We had a great time on this tour with our guide Alex! He was very descriptive and helpful in discussing all the stops on the tour. He was also friendly and knew a lot about the history, especially as someone who already completed his military service. Would definitely do this tour again! Seeing North Korea from afar was a surreal experience.

5.00Judy helped us a lot with our questions,she is wonderful and has a bright personality.I love her smile. She is very kind and nice and she explained the Korean history wonderfully. I hope I see her next time I visit Korea and that her dream of south and North Korea reuniting comes true.And that she goes to European countries in train.
