Why travelers loved this
I had such a great time on this tour! Yong was super knowledgeable and made the history between North and South Korea really easy to understand and interesting. Pickup was smooth and the ride itself was super comfortable, which made the whole day stress-free. We stopped at the Gamaksan bridge, got some amazing views over the DMZ, and I honestly walked away knowing so much more about Korea’s past. Highly recommend if you’re visiting!
Coby was a phenomenal tour guide that made for an excellent experience. He kept a good pace, was highly knowledgeable, was attentive throughout and had a sense of humor that made for a great overall atmosphere. Highly recommend!
We had an incredible tour with Daniel! From the start he made everyone feel comfortable and part of the group. He shared so many interesting stories and facts about the DMZ and Korean history. Everything was explained in a way that kept us engaged, and the whole experience is something I’ll always remember..
The bus was very clean and even had USB charging, which was super convenient. Communication was excellent throughout, and when I needed to change my date, they were really flexible and accommodating. Overall, a great experience!
Had such a wonderful tour with Daniel! We took the gondola over the DMZ, went down into the tunnels, and got an unforgettable view of North Korea from the observatory. The day even ended with delicious soybean ice cream. Truly an incredible experience!
