A totally enjoyment day trip to the DMZ

Fantastic little group tour to the DMZ. Vincent our driver and guide for the tour was very knowledgeable and shared relevant and interesting information about North Korea, the DMZ and life in Korea back in the days. He also brought binoculars for the group to get a better view of the North across the DMZ. The highlight for us was the journey 300m into the secret tunnel. Vincent surprised us with a session of air rifle target practice.

Guide Alex is the best 👍

It was a really packed tour, and I think it was thanks to guide Alex!!! My Australian friend came to visit, and we were debating whether to just travel around Seoul or do a DMZ tour, and then we booked it. They also told me about Korean history, and I think it was even better than just traveling around Seoul! The guide explained things so well, set the atmosphere so nicely, and took so many great photos ㅎㅎ I feel proud because my friend seems so satisfied~~ Thank you, guide~~

Mrs. Hee-Soo was very kind and made the tour very entertaining. We managed to go to a many places throughout the day, like the two palaces, which were very interesting to see. The one spot I thought we could have skipped was Namdaemun Market, as we only walked around for a little bit and it was pretty hectic on the street. Other than that one location, everything was perfect!

Amazing tour by Sun Hee

Amazing tour by Kim, Sun Hee (Sunny). She was a rockstar in bringing the story alive. I was brought into the story around Korean kings from the Joseon era to the more modern Korean War. I felt sad as she narrated the history around the Korean War too. In a day I felt I got a brief summary of Korea, its treasures and beyond. Really an amazing teaser. You should all experience it, and do it with Sunny!

Jon_S, Oct 2026

Educational and Fun Trip to the DMZ

This was a very unique and fun experience. I have studied the modern history of Korea extensively and have always wanted to see the DMZ and the surrounding area. Our guide made the whole experience painless and simple. We did as much as we wanted and got to see a lot of unique sites. He also helped me figure out how to buy some souvenirs that were of personal interest to me when I had no cash to buy the items. I was very grateful for that. Thanks Joseph for a wonderful day out. We appreciated your great sense of humour, knowledge, and good, positive attitude.
