5.00We attended the tour in English with Jenny and had an amazing experience! Jenny explained everything in detail and shared her personal family connections to North Korea which was fascinating to hear. It was also extremely interesting to meet a North Korean defector and have a Q&A session with her, and Jenny kindly translated our questions and the answers for us. The JSA museum was a fun addition as well, and the trip overall was very well organised. I would very much recommend Jenny and VIP Travel!
Beautiful sites

5.00A great way to spend the day learning the history and seeing some northern sites. Jenny was wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly! My husband and I chose the DMZ + suspension bridge. We made several stops along the way 3 of which involved light-medium uphill walking and hiking. Jenny tells too if you do not wish to or can not make the walk/hike where to meet after. Each stop had bathroom and stores to grab drinks and snacks.
Great tour for anyone interested in DMZ

An Unforgettable Experience with Nancy!

5.00From pickup to drop-off, my family’s experience was outstanding. The driving was smooth and comfortable, but what truly made this tour unforgettable was our guide, Ms. Nancy. She shared fascinating stories and historical insights at every stop, details that brought each location to life and went far beyond what you could learn from a quick internet search. Her bubbly, engaging personality made everyone feel welcome, and she created an atmosphere where asking questions felt easy and encouraged. What stood out most was how thoughtful she was. At every scenic stop, she was already offering to take photos for families and groups without anyone even having to ask, making sure everyone could enjoy the moment while still capturing memories. It’s those little acts of kindness that made such a big difference. Nancy’s passion, knowledge, and genuine care for her guests turned a great tour into a truly world-class experience. Team Nancy for life!
Great experience

5.00The tour with Judy was wonderful. Our bus was about half full. We went to the Peace Park, Third Tunnel, Observatory, and then VIP Travel's special JSA Museum. I highly recommend walking around these areas in the short time you have when the tour gives you a break. There was a lot to see and read and I really liked the bridge by the Peace Park with the glass bottom and bullet casings which cost an additional 2,000 W to get into. Judy was very knowledgeable and kept the tour and bus ride entertaining. If you have knee or back issues I recommend skipping the path down the to third tunnel as it's very steep and you need to hunch for a while at the bottom to get to the end. Highly recommend getting the soybean ice cream from the Unification Village stop!
Great experience, definitely worth your time

5.00Our tour with Judy was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, energetic, and friendly. The tour kept us moving, it doesn't feel like you're spending a lot of time waiting around for other people, but you also don't feel rushed. It's the perfect amount of time to see the sites. While it's a bummer no one can go to the JSA anymore, the museum was nice and it was fun to get to see Freedom village (and the soybean ice cream is definitely worth trying!)
Awesome tour! Thank you Judy!
