Good experience but a bit rushed sometimes

4.00Patrick was great, the only downside of the whole tour is that time was sometimes too short and the experience felt a bit rushed, especially at the beginning. Otherwise it’s a good way to have a taste of history and to feel the S-N Korea conflict history close at hand. Another thing that confused me is that it was not clear as to where exactly it was allowed to take photos, as the tour said one thing and the military guards said something else. All in all a good experience.
Fun family experience!

5.00It was very fun with the family, lots of walking and had to keep up with the whole tour but it was enjoyable. Would recommend with family, just prepare to walk a lot. There’s lots of places to get food and drinks, as well as many places to use the restroom. Had a memorable time with my family, Patrick was a great tour guide.
We highly recommend this DMZ tour, especially with Patrick as your guide. Thank you for a memorable day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
