5.00Thank you Sunny for giving my wife and I an amazing tour of the DMZ and 3rd tunnel! Sunny knew all of the best spots and made sure we had every advantage over the large tour groups - she even knew which binoculars were best to see North Korea and helped us spot a North Korean border soldier patrolling the DMZ! We really enjoyed learning about the history of the Korean Peninsula and more about the experiences of the Korean people after WW II. We could not have asked for a better experience, and this was a perfect way to see the DMZ without having to spend too much time away from Seoul. Also, thanks to Andy for being a great driver! We would highly recommend this to couples who want to see the DMZ but are apprehensive of the time required for the larger group tours.
Great tour option in Seoul
