5.00Guide Coco is a very compassionate guide and answered all our questions. I wouldn't do the tunnel visit a second time, plenty of effort for little to see.

5.00We really were lucky having guide Nova from VIP travel as our guide for our day trip. She was very professional and engaging with our family of 5, describing in detail the history and significance behind the sites we visited on our tour. She was very patient and kind with the children as well! As we were ending the tour, she even sent us some recommendations for dinner near our hotel. We had a wonderful tour with an excellent guide!

5.00Our DMZ tour with Sunny was phenomenal! Sunny was extremely knowledgeable and we truly enjoyed our day. Her company has exclusive access to a brand new JSA (Joint Security Area) Museum and it was the highlight of the tour! It brought the Korean experience to life and gave us a true understanding of the evolution of the relationship between North and South Korea. A must visit! Sunny was a warm, lovely person and we will definitely book another tour with her the next time we visit Seoul!
