It really is the best DMZ tour !

Thomas is an amazing tour guide. He re arranged the itinerary due to the weather to enable us to get a better view at the observatory. He was very knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting information and real examples and stories about North Korea. I would 110% recommend this tour , especially with Thomas.

Great trip checking out the DMZ

This was a very informative tour and our guide Anna was excellent. It was easy to find the guide at the meeting point and I would recommend joining this tour if you're interested in going to the DMZ. She was very clear about the times to get back on the bus and was very friendly. The only thing I wish I could have done was go to the JSA building since I also was not able to go last time I was in Korea. Hopefully it will open again at some point in the future.
