5.00The DMZ tour is definitely worth doing, including the north green defector meeting, which was very insightful into how North Korea operates. We found the toilets off very smooth. Being able to just jump on the bus and everything else was taking care of. We found the English was a tour guide. Very good and the commentary. Very interesting and pertinent. Also, I left my sunglasses on the bus and was able to retrieve them the next morning
