5.00A very educational experience. Being guided around such a large museum by Kichan was such a better use of time than aimlessly walking around on our own, and he had brought maps and was able to point out key information to make the tour very interesting.

5.00We had an incredibly informative tour offering us great insights into the Korean War. Our guide was prompt and friendly. Most importantly, he was very kind to my son who had a lot of questions! Highly recommend taking the tour but also recommend that you set aside the rest of the day to enjoy the entire museum - there is so much more to the memorial than just the Korean War.

5.00This was an amazing guided tour through the history of the Korean Peninsula and the war. The guide, Ketan (sp?) was so knowledgable and personable and really made the history come alive. I felt like I got a full semester of history in 2 hours, but believe me, the time passed so quickly because he was so good at explaining everything. VERY HIGHLY recommended!!
Wonderful tour - highly recommended
