5.00I learned so much of the history about the Korean War and all the other pertinent information about this tour from Diane. She is a wealth of information and she does it with a smile. As a solo traveler, I appreciate that she offers to take pictures!
Great DMZ tour with an excellent guide (Nova) and unique insights

5.00Very engaging tour and absolutely worth doing if you are spending a few days in Seoul. Nova was an excellent guide who shared insightful and engaging perspectives on Korean history throughout the trip. The itinerary was well thought out, with several interesting stops. Highlights included the Dora Observatory and the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel. The tunnel visit is a unique underground experience that brings you as close as 170 meters to the North Korean border, about 70 meters below ground. We booked through GetYourGuide, and everything was smooth and well organized.
Great DMZ experience

5.00Great experience. Our guide Coco was very well-spoken and passionate in explaining the place's history and helping visitors understand their significance. There was a small crowd at some locations but it didn't affect the overall experience. Museum option was a nice USP. Pace of the visit was okay, with enough time at each location to explore, rest or get refreshments. Good for individuals or groups (including families) who are interested in history. Not ideal for those with mobility issues as there was some walking/steep incline involved.
Amazing
