5.00It was such a fun experience. I was only in Seoul for a layover and decided to book last minute a day tour and it was everything! Sadie was very organized and told us all the facts and history about the DMZ & Korea. She was patient with us and always made sure we were okay. I would definitely come back and book again with her!
Yoon is highly recommended

5.00Our DMZ tour was an unforgettable and deeply moving experience, made even better by our amazing guide, AJ. From the moment we met her, she was warm, organized, and full of fascinating stories that brought every stop to life. She explained the complex history between North and South Korea clearly and made it feel personal and real. The highlights were seeing the border itself and walking through the Third Infiltration Tunnel—an experience that felt almost surreal. AJ made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, patiently answering questions and sharing details we would have missed. Everything ran smoothly and never felt rushed. AJ’s passion for her country’s history and her friendly, approachable style made this tour truly special. I highly recommend AJ and this DMZ tour to anyone visiting Korea!
