Eva is an excellent tour guide who's super enthusiastic and kept the tour running on time. The tour provides great exposure to various aspects of the DMZ and the legacy of the Korean War.

This excursion was one of the best experiences! Hanna, our tour guide, was fantastic—knowledgeable and engaging throughout. The red suspension bridge was absolutely worth the hike, offering stunning views, and the visit to the Dora Observatory made the trip even more memorable.
Kelvin_X, Apr 2026
The tour only start if there’s more than 30 pax on the bus so you tour might be combined with another timing. Otherwise it’s great experience touring the area, with Hana explaining in detail the history and stories of the vicinity. It’s a unique experience but just note that the 3rd tunnel requires quite a bit of slope climbing.

Best tour and guide (Crystal)! Very engaging for my 3 kids (elementary and high school age). Well worth the early morning start. Crystal did an amazing job keeping the group on schedule and providing historical context along the way the entire day. Highly recommend.

This is SUCH a great experience! Jenny was our tour guide, and she truly made it special. Her energy, her enthusiasm, her passion, it was contagious to the group! I’ve been on MANY tours, and she was truly one of the best guides I’ve ever been with. She made us laugh, thanked us for visiting her country, etc. We loved you Jenny!

Excellent tour of DMZ, Ray our guide was amazing. He was informative, friendly, interested in what others had to say and had a good sense of humour. We had a wonderful clear day and we were able to see clearly into North Korea from Dora observatory. Other visits to the tunnel, peace park and JSA museum were brilliant too. Good value for money and I would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the tour with Lina. Although the time slots were a bit tight at some points, we didn’t have the feeling to miss out on anything. Lina was a good tour guide and explained everything well.

This experience is truly evocative of the long and fractured relationship between the two Koreas. An opportunity to see the schism in person and leave with hope that one day, we will have a peaceful reunification. Our tour guide Judy (VIP Tours), was easily one of the best tour guides I have had the pleasure of getting to know : knowledgeable, warm, courteous and full of energy - we were her “stars” for the day but she is the real star of the show.

Excellente expérience avec Sunny
Au-delà du grand intérêt historique des lieux visités (notamment le musée JSA pour lequel cette compagnie a l'exclusivité), nous avons particulièrement apprécié la sincère gentillesse et la grande pédagogie de notre guide Sunny qui a rendu cette journée inoubliable.
