A wonderful guided tour to explore the DMZ!
Tour guide ‘Roy’ was very well organised and kept everyone on track and well informed throughout.
Would highly recommend - just make sure to wear some comfy shoes for walking a lot!

Very organized. Our tour guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and helpful. He explained everything prior to going to certain areas so we can be prepared. Will definitely recommend this tour to friends/family.

Mr. Patrick was very efficient and straightforward. He had alot of knowledge in Korean history. Loved it.
The trip itself is tiring . We were climbing up a cliff to get to the suspension bridge and also slopes. People who have leg problems should be careful to choose this trip.
Lunch break area was not good.

It’s a very good tour but our tour guide is very strict, stress and easy to get angry.
Giving us only 5 minutes to explore and take pictures in some area.
My sister in law in one point asked him not to use his phone while driving as he drive fast in the highway.
But sometime he can make jokes.

Great experience! Expect to do a little bit of a workout. There’s a 7-10 min hike up to the bridge, down (5-7 min) and up (7-20 min depending on fitness) to the tunnel back up, and shorter 3-5 min walk up to DMZ zone. Tunnel is very low so if you’re 6 feet tall it might be tough to get through but they give you a hard hat and even as short as I am 5’2 I managed to hit the ceiling of the tunnel a couple times. Definitely wear comfortable shoes, clothing, water and maybe food.

April is a great tour guide! She keeps you updated with all the information that you need during the tour. She’s very energetic and lively, the tour was never boring!

It was a great tour and Patrick made our day. Tour is so informative and totally worth all of it. We started early, so there was ample time to look around and also to purchase North Korean bills, coins and stamps. etc.
Highly recommend for all who are planning a tour to DMZ.

Patrick was our guide and he was great. We were able to see so much. It was a full bus but he made it feel comfortable and took care of everyone. I would recommend to my friends if they want to visit the DMZ.
Elizabeth_D, Nov 2024
Such an interesting tour - we really enjoyed it. The tour guide, Patrick, was fantastic. We learned a lot and got to see some beautiful scenery. Highly recommend!
Jocelyn_G, Nov 2024
April was an excellent tour guide who provided a great history lesson to complement the tour! The tour was a great value and I highly recommend. We loved the suspension bridge and gondola ride addition.
ThuTrang_L, Nov 2024
The experience overall is great. A bit crunch on time so don't be late at any stop of the tour.
I took the cable car tour, but I didn't have the chance to explore the whole place, could only do either the observatory, or the camp base. Becaúe I chose the cable car, I couldn't explore the whole Imjingak, which a bit let down for me. So, if you're into history then skip the cable car and explore the Imjingak; if you're into the experience of crossing the CCL then choose the cable car and go straight to the base camp.
And a shout out to our guide Roy did his best with what he had to keep us within the schedule, and provide us with enough information of the history and the places., and entertain us with some silly side stories.
Krystal_C, Oct 2024
April is a very lovely tourguide who was super entertaining! She shared many interesting stories which truly enhanced the entire experience. The tour was also very well planned out with sufficient time for each activity. It was an entertaining and educational trip. Highly recommend!

It was a wonderful trip to understand the history of Korea. The tour guide here is nice, friendly and helpful. No matter travelling alone or with friends or family, it would be a good choice for you to spend a day during visiting Korea.
Aileen_F, Oct 2024
Our guide, Patrick, was wonderful and informative. He told the history of the DMZ and provided insightful comments on the current state of affairs between South and North Korea.
The tour itself was changed because the 3rd tunnel was closed. We ended up visiting an alternative suspension bridge and the 2nd tunnel which was about 2 hrs away from Seoul. The 2nd tunnel is not for the faint of heart as it requires hiking several steep inclines. The hike to the entrance of the tunnel is steep but it isn’t as steep or as long as the hike to the observatory. Good god I thought I was going to pass out. Tip: there’s a monorail that takes guest to the top of the observatory which I didn’t see until my way out. The short stop for lunch was a pleasant surprise. Patrick took us to a local buffet that served authentic Korean food.
Overall, it was a great day tour. I definitely recommend booking with Patrick and his team.
Eva_B, Oct 2024
Difficult to find pick up place! It could have been f ex a hotel, easier to find w taxi. Difficult to understand the guides english. He did not tell the itinerery for the day. He did not tell how the tunnel was, so many stairs, that we would go 500 m and than back. I wanted to go back earlier. He did not go behind the last one, to check all his passangers. The lunch was not good and cost 11 000 won. No info that it was not the red suspension bridge, but another one. I booked the excurtion beacause I wanted to go on the red suspension bridge.

The DMZ visit is a must when you visit Korea. It gives you a better understanding of the tragedy Koreans underwent. Our guide, April, made this tour even better with her energy and the knowledge she shared with us. It is the second tour we have taken with Khi's and April company, you can go with them blindfolded, you'll have an unique experience. Thanks and congrats guys !

Full day DMZ tour with suspension bridge and gondola ride was awesome. My two children, 11 and 14 years old, were reluctant at first but got really engaged as the tour progressed. Thanks to our guide Patrick who was very knowledgeable and explained historical background
