    My wife and I are traveling on a Regent Asia cruise. One of our stops was in Seoul. My wife asked if we could visit the DMZ, I guess she had watch one too many MASH reruns. Well I booked a trip with Brand X tour agency also from Viator. I called on the first day of our cruise to confirm our pick up and a send X said we can’t pick you up at the Incheon International Cruise Terminal. I said why as they had accepted the tour. They said they can’t and refunded my money. Given we were only 6 days away from our docking in Seoul, I found his new agency. They warned me it would be hard to get tickets to the DMZ on short notice, but Soo our tour guide never gave up and with an effort only matched by trying to get tickets to popular K-Pop group he came through! From The start Soo was awesome in answering my wife’s 10,000 questions and showing us all there is to see at the DMZ. He was so good I kept Soo to help us see Seoul the next day. We had 2 great days and learned an incredible amount about Korea’s history. We would recommend Soo To everyone who wants a personal and personable tour guide! I will be telling all my friends who head to Korea!! Thanks Soo!!’

    A private guide is much more valuable than an excursion from a cruise ship

    Must experience tour of the DMZ

    What an amazing tour of the DMZ. Our tour guide, Hyun Soo was very knowledgeable, easy going and spoke English very well. We went to Majang Lake, Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri park, The third tunnel, Dora observatory, and Unification village. It was non-stop and would highly recommend this tour. We have 2 young daughters and I'm glad they were able to experience walking through the tunnel, seeing North Korea with our own eyes, and learning all the history of the Korean war. Reasonably priced and the private tour made it so much better.

    The tour was insightful and interesting. We learned some Korea history and how modern South Korea came to be today. Our tour guide was Taylor Woo and he briefed us a little bit about Korea history. Unfortunately, history that involved war came with sadness. However, this tour offered a piece of history that you can experience somewhat close up. We travelled with our parents who are in their 70s. Mr. Woo was patient and attentive with our parents pace and needs.

    A definite must tour guide in Seol

    If I would 10 stars that is what Hun Lee deserves. This was the best tour I have ever taken in all my international travels. He was super attentive and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond by finding a great gluten free restaurant with excellent Korean food.

    We had a terrific local...

    We had a terrific local Korean meal, the DMZ experience was fantastic. The 3rd Tunnel walk was quite daunting as I am quite tall. The view over to North Korea was great .we had a really clear day.

    Excellent private DMZ tour

    Great experience with Hun. We also toured Seoul with Hun a day earlier. He was very accomodating and flexible, no rushing, which my 80ish parents appreciated. Hun is very friendly and outgoing, someone you enjoy spending the day(s) with, me and my family highly recommend Hun!
