5.00My tour guide, Jenny, was an amazing informant about the history, culture, and life of people living in South Korea and inside the DMZ. She was so lively and made sure we were well equipped to handle each stop on our trip. The trip itself was memorable and I wish peace for the entire peninsula. Thank you guys for making this moment very special!

Emily in Seoul on DMZ
JAndrew A,Jun 18, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00This tour was truly enriching, offering heartfelt insights into the DMZ. The thoughtful scheduling made the experience even more special. Emily was exceptional. She knows the area deeply and kindly shared clips that helped us better understand and connect with the surroundings. The tunnel tour was a 350-meter walk. Entering is easy because it's a downgrade slope, but coming back up is a hike. Wear good shoes and bring water.
Thanks coco
