Really fascinating tour, I definitely recommend anyone visiting South Korea to come on this tour.
This was the half day tour and we went to the Imjingak peace park, third tunnel, Dora observatory, and the reunification village.
Our guide Sophie was lovely and we had a great time with her.
Had a good tour with Nicole, even though we nearly never made it to the DMZ due to lots of people already there. Nicole was a good guide. Can a guide not go ahead of the groups in the morning to secure tickets, as it was causing a bit of a bad day if you cant get in
It was very nice! Thomas was very attentive and always making sure everybody was okay and following up!
Despite the hours, it felt really light and smooth!
100% recommended!
Really great experience. Would highly recommend. Henry was very engaging and interactive. You will really enjoy it!

It was highly informative tour that included a lot of important historical and contemporary sites. The tour highlights the difficult relation between South and North Korea. I really appreciated it from a general perspective and the guide (Anna) was good and managed to tell and give historical context about the DMZ.

Team Kenny went above and beyond for this tour. Not only did he take us to each location he provided a genuine history lesson of each location during the bus ride. He had charisma and an energy that infected each person on the tour. His perspective on the DMZ and its effects made the tour more personal and even more meaningful. His choice of media on the bus was also a special touch that kept the entire ride memorable. Thank Kenny!

Amazing. Anna was an excellent tour guide. I learned so much about Korean history, much more than I expected! It was a long day, but it went by so fast because Anna kept things moving and provided us with information along the way. However I did not feel rushed. I had my 12 and 15 year olds with me and they would recommend it for kids their age as well. Book this one!

The DMZ tour was well organized from start to finish. Thomas stayed a step ahead, even getting us out earlier so we could see more without the crowds. We learned a lot, and he made the experience easy and genuinely interesting. If you’re visiting, this is a must-do, and Thomas really makes it.

Sophie was an outstanding guide and truly made the experience special. She was incredibly helpful to everyone in the group, always present, and consistently warm and friendly. What really set her apart was her depth of knowledge combined with her personal touch — her family connections and stories added a meaningful layer that you wouldn’t get otherwise.
She was also very easy to find at the start, and communication was seamless throughout, especially via WhatsApp, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Sophie — she made the entire experience even more memorable.

This was one of the best tours I’ve done — and I’m an experienced solo traveller. Thomas was an absolutely awesome tourguide. He was interesting, engaging, thoughtful, funny, and I learned a lot. It was really down to him that the day was so enjoyable. Highly recommended!
