    Jackie the Storyteller was extraordinary. He was very informative and funny, to boot. I highly recommend this DMZ Tour and especially Jackie the Storyteller.

    Jackie and Mrs. Lee made for an enjoyable journey. I don't generally like 55 pax bus trips, but this one was well timed and everyone cooperated reasonably at most stops. Good historical context. I really learned much about the current as well as past circumstances impacting both Koreas.
