5.00This is an excellent tour of the DMZ. Moon is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. The timing was perfect, flowed well without feeling rushed. My partner and I were picked up from our hotel (Signiel Seoul Hotel) and Mr. Song was punctual and extremely professional. Highly recommend to request Mr. Moonhak Song as your private guide to DMZ.
Exceptional Tour

5.00Moonhak Song is probably the best tour host and guide we have ever had. He is thoughtful about his guests, their needs and what they want to see and do. He made a great tour truly exceptional!
Less than expected, unfortunately

3.00The season I would not recommend this trip is because our guide, who was a very nice man and seemed to have a gasp of English, was very hard to understand. His pronunciation of words was very difficult to decipher, which resulted in miscommunications. We felt that if we asked any questions they were either not understood, not answered or not heard. This made the experience less than desirable. As I said above, he was a very nice and pleasant man, and seemed very knowledgeable, but considering what you pay for a private tour, it did not meet our expectations. If we spoke Korean, it would have been a completely different experience/tour.

5.00Wow, I can’t even begin to describe how epic our DMZ private tour was—definitely the highlight of our trip! 🌟 First things first, I’m so glad we opted for a private tour over the group one. Trust me, the convenience is unparalleled, and those group tour queues were no joke. 🙅♀️ Our tour guide, Moonhak Song, was absolutely incredible. As a family of history buffs, his detailed storytelling was like music to our ears. Plus, he had a witty sense of humor that resonated so well with my goofy dad. 😄 Being Muslims, the private tour was a game-changer for us, especially when it came to food. Moonhak made sure everything was pork-free. This was huge because let’s face it, not everyone in Korea speaks English! The car? Spacious, clean, and they even provided unlimited water bottles for us! 🚗💦 And guess what? I booked through ShopBack and snagged another awesome 12% cashback. Given the top-notch service from our tour guide, I’d say it’s a steal! If you’re on the fence, just book it. You won’t regret it!
