Kenny did a great job...

Natasha_G, Sep 2026
Kenny did a great job today. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour with Kenny

Thank yall for the opportunity to go on that tour and thank you Thomas for being an awesome guy.

Colton_S, Sep 2026
It is an immersive look into the reality this country faces every day and has for decades. A truly worldly experience. An informative guide that knows what he’s talking about makes it even 10 times better which I was lucky to get. It’s a great experience and completely worth every penny. Thomas our guide was extremely nice and informative. I was already interested in the Korean War and studied it and I still learned tons of new things on this tour and saw things I didn’t even know existed. The stops for food and souvenir shops are also excellent on this tour.

DMZ tour 09/2026

I had an amazing experience visiting the DMZ with friends, including the Suspension Bridge and the 3rd Tunnel. A special thank you to our wonderful guide, Anna, who truly made the experience memorable. Anna was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and an excellent communicator. She educated us about the history and significance of the DMZ while keeping the tour engaging with her great sense of humor. She answered all of our questions and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the day. This was a fantastic tour and an experience everyone visiting Seoul should make time for. And if you’re lucky enough to have Anna as your guide, you’re in for an even better experience! Highly recommend! Tips: Wear comfortable shoes, there will be a lot of walking. The 3rd tunnel is such a cool experience, but could be physically challenging for some.

Anna was awesome

Sounder_A, Jul 2026
Anna was an amazing your guide. Very funny and a lot of personal stories. The bus was very nice and comfortable. Lots of stops along the way for bathroom breaks and snacks. Anna was very organized and kept the large group on track. Quite a bit of hiking to get too the suspension bridge and the third tunnel, but all very worth it. Suspension bridge was breathtaking and it you are a decent walker you can get to the waterfall with a 10 minute extra hike. Anna have a lot of great anecdotes and kept the whole your very interested. I would book this again in a heartbeat.

Worthwhile Tour/Great Guide (Thomas)

Anna_N, May 2026
Our guide Thomas was fantastic. He was very informative, kind and always available for questions. At most of the stops we had ample time to see everything and explore a bit on our own. We were fortunate that the weather improved later in the day for our stop at the Observation Tower. Unfortunately our stop at the Village inside the DMZ was at the end and was a bit rushed (only about 15-20 minutes) so we weren't able to really look around or take pictures after stopping in the Souvenier shop. Going inside the 3rd Tunnel was probably my least favorite stop, as it was quite a hike for a quick peek. If I were to go again, I would spend more time in the surrounding gardens which were quite lovely. Overall it was a quite worthwhile experience, made much better having such a terrific guide. Thank you, Thomas!

Good history of North and South Korea and how vast their lives are. The North reminded me of Islamic Republic and how they treat their own people! depressing and sad

Absolutely incredible...

Christopher_P, May 2026
Absolutely incredible time with Kenny. Immersion is the best education and we learned so much through this tour! The hike up to the suspension bridge and the climb down the tunnel are something to keep in mind for people who might be older or have mobility issues! There are plenty of stops along the way so ample opportunity to grab drinks, snacks, and meals. The ability to see where dark history has taken place will be something that I will remember from this tour for the rest of my life.

An amazing experience!

Ajay_K, Apr 2026
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the DMZ tour hosted by Kenny. Very organized from the start and punctual. His tremendously detailed knowledge of the history behind the Korean war and the formation of the demarcation line along with the DMZ and affiliated buildings, was legendary. We were thrilled to understand the historical context of the tour. The tunnel tour was incredible and though exhausting, was once again filled with a deep understanding of the history behind it. If you want to engage in a tour that leaves you feeling enriched through knowledge and satisfied at the end of a hard day, then we would highly recommend Kenny's tours!
