Have some good shoes because there’s plenty of walking. But it’s worth every step :) the tunnel was a highlight but also a workout. Our tour guide Ace was an ace in every sense of the word. Kept us informed and on schedule.

Very interesting tour!...

First the guide Charles, could not fault him, English was fluent, genuinely cared about all of us, happy to help with anything asked, simply faultless, there was a problem with our booking and both Charles and the tour company worked incredibly hard to fix the situation, going above and beyond anything we have experienced in Hong Kong, Taiwan, until this point, incredibly informative and interesting, as a hint be aware there is a lot of walking into tunnels etc that is very hard and steep with bending and crouching also, highly recommend this tour, the tour company and the guide Charles

Great trip to the DMZ. 3rd tunnel, and observation poat.

Our tour guide Andy was awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves history, like a little adventure on their vacation, and wants to step out of their comfort zone and walk into a tunnel under the DMZ.
