Traveler reviews
DMZ tour
The tour itself is busy, with approximately 7 stops, limited time in each location, and quite a bit of time spent travelling on the bus. It also involves some physical activity, if you want to get the most out of the day. Having said that, it was a fabulous tour. The sites were interesting, the stories fascinating, and our tour guide Gabby was stellar. On the bus rides, she presented the history and relevance of each site, and answered all of our many questions. She was patient, organized, and informed. Two thumbs up.

Safe DMZ Experience
Wonderful tour! Our guide Alex was personable and very friendly and informative.
Good trip, needs a better food setup
This trip covers exactly what you want from a DMZ tour, we got to see into the DMZ at the observatory (best part) and I also enjoyed the JSA experience since you can no longer go there. Also enjoyed hearing from a defector. My only criticism would be to add in a spot for lunch (we didn't return until after 4pm, and departed at 9:30am). The only options were fast food options, and we didn't really enough time to grab food and see what we wanted to see. Even an option to include a sandwich or a local lunch spot would be great. Guide was fantastic (hi gabby!) and the bus was nice. Also liked the powerpoint presentation and videos she showed.
