5.00Hana was very friendly and informative. She answered all my questions and made sure we were able to fully enjoy our trip. The bus driver’s driving could use some improvement as it was very jerky though.
Great Tour with Nancy 😍

5.00An unforgettable day with Gabby. This tour was one of the most fascinating experiences I’ve had in Korea. Gabby guided us through the complex history of North and South Korea with clarity, empathy, and so much passion. She made a heavy topic feel accessible and meaningful, and she balanced the historical depth with moments of humor and lightness. Seeing North Korea from the observatory was surreal — a mix of awe, curiosity, and the strange feeling of looking across one of the most guarded borders in the world. Gabby created a safe, engaging space to ask questions and truly understand what we were seeing. If you want a tour that is educational, emotional, and genuinely fun, Gabby is the guide you want. --- If you want it shorter, more emotional, or more playful, I can adjust it.

5.00I'm really glad I went on this tour. Hearing Moon's story about how the war impacted her family was really powerful and brought a different depth to this experience. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned, and the tour was well-paced. Moon walked quickly to get our group in front of the other groups, which I really appreciated. The timing throughout the tour gave sufficient time for looking at the shops and memorials, and for getting lunch, and there were plenty of bathrooms at every stop. I really appreciated that Moon took a lot of effort to ensure each group got their own pictures. If you're not sure which tour to do, book this!
