Traveler reviews
Great tour!
This is a must-do tour if you’re interested in the DMZ: You get to see the what, where, and why. Our guide Gogo also was super prepared with facts and insights. At the Observatory, make sure to see the 3D map board that lays out the actual boundary lines on the terrain you’re viewing.
Unforgettable DMZ Tour Experience
I can highly recommend this tour operator — they were simply the BEST! Judy was a fabulous tour guide, full of enthusiasm, great energy, and wonderfully engaging. She spoke excellent English, which made everything even more enjoyable. The highlights of the tour included the live talk with North Korean defector Sharon Jang — such an inspiring and moving story — and the unforgettable view of North Korea from the observatory tower. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with an excellent tour company and an outstanding guide. 👍
A glimpse at North Korean life
Judy was outstanding, pleasant, well versed and passionate about the relevant history, and speaks clear, colloquial English that is easy to understand.
