The 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!

A 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!

My mom and I did the private DMZ tour with Sophia as our guide. Prior to the tour, Sophia contacted us about the tour and all relevant info. On the day of the tour, we were ready much earlier than our pick up time and she arrived early, so things were already off to a great start. Her vehicle was nice and clean and she was very informative on a bunch of things about our tour and Korea in general. Everything happened smoothly and timely during our tour. If I were to be in Seoul again, I would use Sophia for another private tour.

My wife and I enjoyed everything about this full day. Our guide Ayann navigated us expertly along while providing insightful explanations at each stop. We were able to get an immersive experience without fighting crowds. This guided tour hits all the highlights along and within the DMZ with an amazing lunch and quick walk along a suspension bridge as added benefits. I suggest this day trip for anyone looking to gain knowledge and insight into the history and current state of the DMZ.

I did this tour solo and had an amazing experience. Sophia was deeply knowledgeable weaving in historical context, anecdotes, and a fun mix of local color. She timed the sights perfectly to avoid the crowds—making the day both smooth and memorable. Lunch was perfect. Highly recommend!

Vincent was our guide and he was excellent. Highly recommend this tour. It takes most of the day but it is worth it. We went with kids ranging from 5 to 14 and they all were interested and learned about the history and current situation.
