Amazing Experience

AJ our tour guide was fantastic. She was super friendly and very informative; I would recommend to anyone. We took the half day tour, but we still feel we saw and did a lot. We started at the Freedom Bridge, through the DMZ, then 3rd tunnel, over to observation deck and then finished up at the Unification Village. Would I do this again? Absolutely! Thank you GaRam!
