Great day of sightseeing, history lessons, and emotional connection to Korean history. Pickup and drop off also very easy. Our tour guide Jun was amazing; very punctual, efficient, hard working, kind and welcoming. He contacted me through WhatsApp before the tour which was very helpful. His best quality is his sarcasm, jokes, fun facts and deep knowledge not only of Korea but of the world. Many thanks to him for making this tour just that much more special.

I booked super last second and I’m sooo glad that I did! I had no idea what to expect but was very impressed with how much I learned and saw knowing nothing about Korea. My tour guide, Felicity, did an amazing job and taught me so much!!! If you are able to choose a tour guide, choose her! She is the GOAT!

Our guide KATIE was absolutely amazing for the DMZ tour which we took today on the 19 Th June 2026. I have never seen anyone with so much enthusiasm and patience. I found her taking care of each and every guest with the same zest. Next time I am in Korea I would love to join more tours with her and also advise my friends to do the tours with her specifically.
Thanks

Visiting the DMZ was an important part of our trip to Korea. This bus trip provided a good explanation of the history & geography that resulted in the DMZ and the ongoing political situation, with an inperson experience.
