Unforgettable DMZ Tour

5.00We had an outstanding DMZ tour experience with our guide Christine Lee and driver Young Lee. Christine was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much meaningful history and context throughout the day—it really brought the entire experience to life. Young made sure we got everywhere safely and comfortably, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the tour. The day does involve quite a bit of walking, but it was absolutely worth it for everything we were able to see and learn. This was a truly memorable and well-run experience—we highly recommend this tour and this wonderful team!
A great day out at the DMZ.

5.00Kudos to Jones, our amazing tour guide! 😊 He was incredibly patient, helpful, and attentive, tailoring the tour to our preferences. Even snow at DMZ didn't faze him – he enthusiastically shared insights about the area. And the lunch buffet at the recommended restaurant was a treat! 🍴 If you're lucky enough to have Jones as your guide, you're in for a great experience. Hope the next group gets to enjoy his expertise too!

5.00It was a fabulous experience to have a private tour guide show us and educate us. He had a terrific personality and was able to give us appreciated suggestions.
Great tour! Jiwon is the best guide!

5.00What a great day! Our guide, Jiwon, was punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Korean history! He repeatedly went out of his way to explain every part of the process to get to the DMZ, fill us in on all the facts and history of each area, and relate his personal stories from his time in the military. He helped us order the perfect lunch and made sure we made the most out of each stop, getting us back to our hotel at the perfect time (we had a flight to catch later that evening). We highly recommend this company and if you can, ask for Jiwon. My phone broke the day before our tour, the company responded quickly and helped reestablish communication on my different device so that there were no confusions on pick up. Book this tour! Avoid crowds, enjoy great history, and get VIP treatment!!!
Best experience!

5.00It was better than I imagined! Our guide Sophia Kim was super knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. She had great insight on history, geographical areas of South Korea, and shared stories that made the experience exceptional. She brought us to a local spot for the best authentic lunch meal, and offered recommendations for sight seeing and shopping spots later. We booked the private tour and she made it worth it! Also, she made sure to get great photos to share with us so we got plenty of family photos in addition to our own. 100% recommendation, and request Sophia if you can!

5.00The tour was great but the driver almost forget that we have to get back on the ship on time!! Other than that it was a good tour.
A great DMZ experience, a very small group is the best way to do it!

5.00A private tour of the DMZ and suspension bridge with Sophia. We had a very interesting and informative day about the DMZ with Sophia. She also took a great selection of photos that captured great memories of the day. We also had some local cuisine in a nearby town to the DMZ. Thank you Sophia!
