Fantastic way to visit DMZ
What a great tour. Starts with a 1.5 hour bus ride… but our guide Leo made it interesting. He gave us a Korean War history lesson (with slides) that was super educational, but not boring. I learnt so much.
The various locations we visited were well explained along the way.
Leo did a fantastic job from start to finish. Thank you so much.

I wasn’t sure what to...
I wasn’t sure what to expect but this tour was an amazing experience outside of the city. You get to see a whole other side of Korea, very peaceful and fun without the chaos of a huge city like Seoul. The whimsy of the Island of Nami was my favorite part and absolutely worth a trip!

A fantastic way to see...
A fantastic way to see several attractions outside of Seoul. Andrew was a fantastic guide, super organized and helpful. Although we booked this tour to see Nami Island, we ended up loving the other sites more! The cable car to the mountain, in particular, is not to be missed.

Hanbok style tour.
The "Seoul city private full day tour including lunch " was the best tour I ever had. The guest was just me with my husband so we decide where and what to do . I enjoyed visiting the N Seoul tower and also visiting the C palace. I decided to wear a hanbok dress , feeling korean style . I had too much fun learning the history of Korean . Thanks to our best tour guide name Brian Jeong.

Thank you
Korea’s natural beauty is absolutely breathtaking — from lush green mountains to the serene waterways around the Garden of Morning Calm and Nami Island, every view felt like a postcard come to life. Zip-lining into Nami Island was such a thrill, soaring over the river with the wind rushing past and the trees spreading out below. The speedboat ride added even more excitement — fast, fun, and unforgettable!
Sampling all the different local snacks was another highlight — each one delicious and full of unique Korean flavors. A huge thank-you to our guide, June, for being so friendly, informative, and making the whole experience even more special.
And special appreciation to our bus driver, who navigated the busy Saturday traffic with such care and patience. It was an incredible day — adventure, culture, and nature all perfectly combined!

DMZ alternative tour
We had booked a DMZ tour but found out a few days prior that the DMZ was closed due to a marathon event. We opted to do the “alternative tour” and we were not disappointed. Dora was a very fun and knowledgeable tour guide. She shared a lot of stories and information in a fun way, that both my parents and my children could enjoy! The alternative tour included the peace park with a gondola ride, a question and answer time with a North Korean Defector, and we ended the tour at the Odusan Unification Tower. My mom said this experience was the highlight of her trip to Korea. Thanks, Dora!

Great day of New and Old
We had an excellent tour to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, made even better by our guide Philip. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of the site, but also brought a great sense of humour that kept the whole group engaged throughout the day.
Philip did a fantastic job keeping everyone together and ensuring we stayed on schedule without ever feeling rushed. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy each stop along the way.
The highlights for us were the two cultural demonstrations, which were both fascinating and well-timed, as well as a visit to the stunning Starfield Library, which was an unexpected and memorable addition to the day.
Highly recommend this tour—especially if you get Philip as your guide

Great experience, highly recommend
This tour has a great mix of history, sights and activities. I recommend the optional Gondola ride if you tend to breeze through sights. Be prepared to walk steep inclines. Good walking shoes required. Our tour guide, Alex, was knowledgeable, fun, and seemed truly passionate about what he does. We learned a lot and highly recommend this tour.

The best tour experience capturing all the important sights!
Bella was amazing from VIP Travels. Her energy was so radiant that just lifted our mood! She was very patient, extremely knowledgeable, and so attentive to our group. There was a family traveling in our tour group with a toddler (21 months) alongside my parents who are seniors, and she provided all of us with the utmost care. This is my first time using viator and because of Bella, I am so excited to book my next tour.. hopefully she will be our tour again!!!

Thomas was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgable, friendly and kept the tour upbeat and enjoyable. Activities on the tour were great and we learnt a lot about Korean history. Would highly recommend Thomas and this tour.
More walking involved than we expected and some may struggle with the tunnel walk.
