Relaxing Monday tour to DMZ

5.00Our tour today with Yeoni was fabulous. The information during the tour was interesting but I especially appreciated all of the help that our guide, Yeoni, provided throughout the day. Things ran so efficiently and smooth. A Monday tour is handled a little different than other days, but don’t be discouraged from joining a Monday tour. We had plenty to see in a relaxing setting.
The pick up was easy and the trip was very fun!
