The best part of my trip to Korea

5.00If you don’t take the tour, you’re missing out. It was informative, interesting, and engaging….it helps you really appreciate Korea’s history. I felt like our group got lucky we had such an enthusiastic guide: Katie. She was warm, friendly, and attentive, and gave us all the backstories and interesting details. I really liked her. If the DMZ tour isn’t on your bucket list, put it on! There’s literally no where else in the world you can do it! Bus was nice, comfortable (and heated in really cold temperatures!) I highly recommend them. -Jennifer, USA

5.00It was awesome being able to see the North Korea border in person after watching all the Youtube videos about it. Our tour guide, Lizzy, was a pleasure! She was very fun and knowledgeable about the border's history. It's worth doing a day trip here if you get the chance. Only a 1 hour bus ride each way

5.00Seoul City Tour It was very informative. During every stop we had enough time for ourselves to look around. Beside the great time management the tour with Miel didn't get boring because she has a passionate way to explain history. It was a great atmosphere and the group was a nice size to ask Miel questions about anything. The money was definitely worth it! I recommend the tour for anyone who is interested in history or for those who want to understand more about the history and present of Korea.
Great tour and guide.

5.00Professional tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Sadly Panmunjom Is still closed for visitor, a big miss compared to the full experience before 2020. Bus was too stuffy in the morning. Also would love to get a warning about how warm the 3rd invasion tunnel is.
