5.00I booked this tour for our DMZ visit, which was one of the highlights on our family’s Korea travel itinerary. Our guide, Han Solo, was very informative, kind, and knowledgeable, and he made the experience truly memorable. He was professional throughout the tour and shared a lot of interesting information about the area and its history. I would definitely book with this company again on my next trip to Korea. Highly recommended!
Extremely recommend!!

5.00Our tour guide, Jackie the story teller, was fantastic. He was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about Korean history. He didn’t just talk facts, his storytelling was outstanding and kept us engaged. My wife and I enjoyed the day and would recommend him to anyone thinking about doing a DMZ tour.
