Joy, the tour guide, was extremely friendly, warm, and funny! She provided helpful information around the various tour sites as well as highlights on different types of authentic Korean dress, food, and houses. She taught us a few words in Korean as well. The van was very nice and clean.

I had a fantastic experience on the DMZ tour! Our guide, Young, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire experience. He shared interesting information, kept everyone entertained, and made sure we stayed on schedule without ever feeling rushed. Young did an excellent job making the tour both educational and enjoyable. I had a great time and would highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Young as your guide!

Our assigned tour guide was Jung, who is associated with Here Korea Travel. I feel it is essential to begin this review by emphasizing that she went far above and beyond the typical responsibilities expected of a professional tour guide. The individual who accompanied me on the tour unfortunately misplaced a valuable item while we were inside the DMZ, and Jung went to great lengths to assist us. Although we have not successfully retrieved the item as of yet, the simple reality that Jung invested such significant effort to provide us with assistance is, in and of itself, deserving of the highest level of praise and commendation imaginable. The guided tour experience itself was truly excellent throughout the day. Our guide, Jung, is extremely passionate and possesses a deep, extensive knowledge regarding the complex history of Korea, specifically concerning the DMZ. Although the schedule for the full-day tour is quite demanding and fast-paced, I never felt as though I was being rushed or left behind by the group. I truly and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience from start to finish. Thank you Jung.

We had a great time with our guide, Richard. Richard has a wealth of knowledge from his time in the Korean military, and answered all of our questions thoughtfully and with detail. Our tour consisted of the suspension bridge, the DMZ observation area, the invasion tunnel and finally we got to meet a North Korean defector. During the middle two activities we joined up with a larger group to enter, as the security around the DMZ necessities that tourists travel in large monitored groups, but the whole time we were with the larger group Richard stayed with us and continued to provide additional detail and answer our questions. When we got to the observation area he would look through the binoculars first to find specific interesting points for us to look at, which was something I really appreciated as opposed to tourists from the larger groups, who were left to their own devices with the binoculars. One of the things I really appreciated about our experience was that while Richard provided excellent detail and history about the Korean War and the DMZ area, he also was able to help contextualize these things within modern Korean society, and talked about the long term effects of the war on Korean culture. The tour does involve walking some inclines around the bridge as well as going up and down the tunnel. The tunnel felt very safe and well-maintained but I would caution anyone who is prone to claustrophobia to consider an alternative to that portion of the tour. The only thing I would have enjoyed more would be if we got more time to talk to the defector, but I think that is somewhat determined by the schedule at the center where the defector works and when other groups happen to be coming to visit. Overall it was a fantastic experience, and visiting the DMZ is something truly unique. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and was thrilled to have a guide who was very good at answering them.

We had a great day with Hee-Soo, she was funny, helpful and overall an amazing tour guide. This tour was good because we got to experience many different parts of the culture and city. It was nice to be transported in a van and we made friends with the others on the tour as well. Would highly recommend!

My Seoul airport to hotel car transfer went seamlessly. My driver didn’t speak English and I don’t speak Korean but he used Google translate well. The Viator office team also offered great support. I use this company all over the world and I’ve never had a bad experience.

This was the best activity I did in Seoul! It was so fun and I learned how to make delicious korean food! I was shocked at how much we learned in a short time. I went as a solo traveler and met friendly folks from Australia. Park is an excellent teacher! He made it easy for us learn as we go. I can't wait to cook kalbi and kimchi for my friends and family!

Yeoni was an amazing tour guide! She was the best tour guide I've had in South Korea. She was very friendly and very informative about the places we were seeing. The tour takes you to the main highlights in Seoul. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
