Wonderful and informative

5.00Had a very fulfilling one day trip to DMZ with Kory. Kory was on time to pick us from hotel and was very informative throughout our tour. Enjoyed the sharing of the choco pie and North Koreans. Kory actually treated us the choco pie and the biscuits the army ate in military 🤩. Albert was super patient with my itinerary planning and helpful while Grey was detailed in ensuring the smooth transition of our trip. If you don’t want the hassle of planning your trip, just let KTC take care of it and sit back and relax and enjoy your holiday.

5.00Our tour guide, Jasmine, made our day truly wonderful. Since it was our first day out, we were flexible with the order of activities and even went a bit out of the planned itinerary, but Jasmine expertly timed our arrivals at each site with the local tour guides. She kindly took all of our photos, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience, and they all turned out beautifully. Throughout the tour, Jasmine provided thorough and engaging histories of each area, enriching our understanding and appreciation. We also enjoyed a delicious Korean beef BBQ lunch. We highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a memorable day out!
Best Tour Company in Korea.

5.00Excellent tour company with great information and fast communication. You get what they detail and describe. The guide Son was punctual, very knowledgeable and had a fun sense of humor. Nothing was too much trouble and he made for us great memories for our time in Korea. We spent 3 days touring and seeing the highlights which all went without a hitch. I would recommend this Company and we have had many guides in the far east and Son was by far the stand out one. Happy touring.
Trip of a lifetime, Thanks Kory

5.00Korean Tour Company was great to work with. We worked several months to get an idea of places we would love to visit. Then we tried to match companies with our project, KTC was the closest but still not quite a complete match, We started working directly with the company to see if they could assist with developing a plan that would immerse us in Korean culture. After a few iterations with many recommendations of must do's we had a plan. It started with picking us up at the airport, completely filling the 2 3/4 days we had to final drop off at the port. We thought we had a plan. A couple of days before Kory, our guide, educator and guardian reviewed our plan and put together the itinerary that would most effectively utilize our time and give us the most time at each of our site adventures. Kory's knowledge of the city and each of the sites we visited was beyond our expectations. It was so awesome, the amount of history Kory knew about all the sites provided us a fine appreciation with the significance of Korea in the world. Below is a list of all the places we visited and all were justly presented. Would we do it again......YOU BET WE WOULD! Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanak Village lnsadong Street, Jogyesa Temple , Gwangjang Traditional Market, Changdeokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Huwon Secret GardenJongmyo Shrine, Seolleung and Jeongneung, Namsan Tower (Round Trip Cable Car & Observatory), Hangang River Ferry Cruise, lmjingak & Bridge of Freedom, DMZ Theater & Exhibition Hall, Dorasan Observatory, Unification Village (Tongilchon), 3rd Infiltration Tunnel
