Great DMZ tour

Our guide Kim was awesome. He was always there for my wife and I and made us feel like VIPs. He was very knowledgeable regarding the DMZ. At the Dora Observatory he even brought binoculars that we could use in addition to the free telescopes they have there. He made sure to point out all the major points of interest that are visible from the Dora Observatory. When going to the red suspension bridge and 3rd Tunnel, our guide Kim also made sure to watch for our safety. The suspension bridge does require some hiking up a fairly steep path and the 3rd Tunnel requires you to first descend and later ascend about an 11 degree sloping path. The Dora Observatory was probably my favorite as you could see into North Korea. I also enjoyed the 3rd Tunnel and red suspension bridge. We were picked-up at our hotel and dropped off at a restaurant near our hotel (at our request). My wife and I had a wonderful experience and highly recommended this tour.

A fun day out to the DMZ

Easy to book, booked the night before. Pick up location and time very clear from the beginning, 9am pick up from Myeondong Station. Comfy coach, and the tour guide Anna was lovely throughout, clear and entertaining explanation from beginning to the end. Loved the BTS references! Would highly recommend booking here.

This was one of the...

This was one of the absolute highlights of our South Korea trip. The visit to the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel was fascinating, thought-provoking, and gave us a much deeper understanding of the history and ongoing reality of the Korean Peninsula. Walking through the tunnel itself was a unique and memorable experience that we will never forget. The stops at the DMZ sites, including the observatory, provided incredible insight and perspective. Most importantly, our guide Chloe was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and explained the history in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Chloe made the entire day enjoyable and informative, and her passion for the subject really enhanced the experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul who wants a meaningful and unforgettable tour.
