Our guide, Shrek, was the epitome of professionalism. He possessed extensive knowledge and provided us with a wealth of information about the DMZ and the war. His explanations were insightful and engaging, making the experience truly enriching. Additionally, he took us to a fantastic lunch, which we had the pleasure of preparing ourselves. It was an unforgettable experience, made even better by his expertise and hospitality. We were the only tourists during this day, so it made this tour more special Totally recommend!

Shrek is so fun, told us many historical stories along this very special SPY tour. We were the only visitors at the the two military guarded places, not crowded at all. It is amazing for summer peak season. He is also flexible to alter the route for some kids' desire. Excellent experience.

We were on a long trip with Incheon as a layover so we extended it so see the DMZ. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, being rainy and foggy. Shrek still made the trip memorable with lots of information, an incredible lunch and the weather cleared up enough to view inhabitants working on North Korean farmland. It was a good way to have a local show us around the area too. Learned a lot and would recommend! Shrek was a great host!

Reached out to Shrek last minute to see if he had any openings for a layover tour from ICN. He did have an opening, although given our times we did not have enough time for his full Spy tour. He was able to arrange a Seoul/DMZ tour which was great and was exactly what we were looking for. The duck barbecue restaurant was excellent! Highly recommend

If you want to know the nice details of the current state of affairs in the DMZ without being attached to a larger group, Shrek's private tour is the right way to do it. He picks you up wherever you are and will take you to all the relevant places you want to go. He has a comfortable car, drives safely and is very knowledgeable about the South-North Relationship. Spoil alert; You will love his eating stops!

Everything about this tour went smoothly, from the pick up at the airport to the various stops on the tour, and especially the very special lunch with a North Korean defector in her home. I learned a lot from Shrek, my guide, and was finally able to see and feel the area for myself. I had to go on a Sunday, which I would suggest others avoid, as some of the areas get exceptionally busy. Because this was a layover tour, I was tired but Shrek was kind enough to let me doze as we drove between sights. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has ever wondered what the DMZ is like; I felt like I was in the middle of living history.

Shrek is the perfect tour guide, he has so much knowledge and information. We learnt so much about the DMZ and including the Korean war and what ultimately lead to the DMZ. The tour itself was incredible, I would highly recommend. Shrek is great fun and was incredibly accommodating, thank you so much for an amazing tour. I would definitely recommend doing this tour with Shrek.
