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.

Tour was great. Wish we spent a little more time at the suspension bridge, had to really move quick to see what we wanted to see. Grace was informative. We learned a lot about the Korean War history.

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 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.

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!

Comprehensive tour with knowledgeable Kenny. Safe driver in comfortable new bus. As older travelers (70s) who had relatives who fought in the Korean War, we fully understood the significance of each site. We managed to keep up with the tour, but not with our much younger traveling companions. We made it all the way in and out of the tunnel. Disappointed in the stupid fibreglass animals at such a poignant location as the Freedom Bridge and the unrelated theme park beside the memorial!! This disrespectful downside is no fault of the tour company though.
