Traveler reviews
This 7 hour tour to the...
This 7 hour tour to the DMZ was great. Lots of things to see and enjoy but left at a reasonable hour (10:00) and back well before dinner (17:00). Plus, Coco was a great tour guide. Informative and fun, without being too much of either. Lots of info provided but then gave you time to explore on own. Well done Coco.
Everything was well...
Everything was well organised from before we went on the tour with updates and efficient communication via Whatsapp which most travellers use. On the day it was great woth our your guide Lina giving us a lot of history about what we were visiting. She kept us on time and safe too. I found the North Korean defectors' story interesting eventhough I found the idea of it initially a bit odd. The JSA museum was very well done too. Thankyou for a memorable day
Alex was an excellent...
Alex was an excellent guide, strategically planned our itinerary to minimise crowds, communicated clearly and consistently and kept us on time without us feeling rushed. He was a passionate guide, sharing his own stories and experiences to bring to life the impact of the Korean separation and military service.
