5.00We joined the DMZ tour as a family of six, and our guide, Lizzy, made the whole experience unforgettable. She explained everything so clearly and in such great detail, and she was incredibly friendly the whole time. After every stop, Lizzy checked on each of us personally to see if we had any questions. Because of her, I even discovered amazing tips about where to explore and where to eat in Seoul. She’s truly so hardworking and thoughtful. Thank you so much, Lizzy, for making our DMZ tour such a great and memorable experience! 💛
Very nice tour to the DMZ.

5.00Had a wonderful DMZ tour with the amazing guide Yeoni! She was super knowledgeable and definitely made the experience one to remember. Highlight of the trips included viewing North Korea from the DMZ observation deck and speaking to a former North Korean that escaped.
Great DMZ tour!

4.00Seoul City Tours put together an insightful tour and Yeoni our guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. My favourite part of the tour was getting to talk and ask questions to someone who had defected from North Korea!
Must visit
