A fascinating look into the DMZ and North Korean daily life

This tour went beyond my expectations in many ways! It felt like a great value for all of the different things we got to do and see on our tour, which lasted from approximately 7:30 am to around 4 pm. The group was a reasonable size; not the smallest but it was still very easy to nteract with the guide. It was also very easy to find the tour given the easy pick-up instructions, and our guide, Katie, was so knowledgeable and energetic! I am so glad that she was assigned to lead our tour. The day was very well organized, with clear amounts of time we could spend at each of the sights. The highlight for me was the lookout point where we could see into North Korea and the people living there. It was a truly fascinating experience to see the North Korean flag flying in the distance and people living their day to day lives there. Overall, Ioved this experience and would recommend it to anyone interested in the DMZ. .

AJ is the best tour guide ever!!!

The trip was amazing and AJ (our tour guide) shared a significant part of this experience! The weather was cool, so we got a clear view on North Korea, which was probably the most wanted part of the trip. Totally recommend!
