The trip to DMZ was very informative and efficient. Our tour guide, Ms. K.C., is so enthusiastic, professional, kind and helpful that she gave us one of the most impressive one-day tours I have ever had.
All right.

Everything was fine until we were joined with another group, we were taken in 2 different vans and in the end we were touched by other people not tidy, they would not let the guide speak and sometimes took time to return to the bus. Eventually I felt like we were being rushed because we were late in time. And they let us travel very little, the time felt was very little in each place. The very friendly Grace guide tried to answer everything and do things the best she could even with the bad weather.
Great Tour of the DMZ and intro to Korea!!!

The tour was very informative. The tour guide was eager to share the knowledge and was patient along the way. It felt as a personalized experience as one can get. Eunice was very pleasant and made us feel comfortable about asking anything. Thank you for the experience and we’ll recommend you to our friends and family.

This was a great tour. Overall we really enjoyed our tour and listening and learning from our guide Sue. She's very knowledgeable. After being dropped off and before being picked up by the bus I would have liked to have known about going around the building to see the Freedom bridge and the train. The tunnel and DMZ viewing theater was definitely interesting and had plenty of time there. I did not like being brought to the amethyst store at the end. There's no need for that. And one more thing...there was a lot of confusion in the morning being picked up. Several of us have to wait about 30 min. longer than we were told. Real time updates would have been nice.

The tour was so fantastic with Sunny Agency. Mimi was an amazing tour guide and kind and very knowledgeable. We were short on time, but she was able to cover many things on the DMZ tour such as Imjingak, the 3rd tunnel, and the observatory! Transportation is all included, so moving between locations ran smoothly.
