Camp Go-Go is very fluent in english, he explains everything so well. It was such a fun but challenging experience. Unfortunately you can’t take photos inside the DMZ tunnel for obvious reasons.. oh boy the tunnel! I was super shocked how deep is it, getting up and down was an exhilarating experience! If you love hiking i recommend this tour! Love the authentic korean food experience… A+ for the soybean ice cream!! It’s a learning experience too! Thumbs up👍🏻
