Sadie was an amazing and super kind guide who was extremely knowledgeable about all things regarding the DMZ and the Korean War. She explained everything very thoroughly and answered any questions we had in great detail.

The tour itself was fantastic and we had a perfect amount of time at each location, while learning a lot about each area.

Amazing tour, would recommend.
Great tour but foggy

Excellent your, really cool sights. Sadie our guide was very knowledgeable, and covered really interesting topics. The only downside was that it was quite foggy, so we couldn't quite see all the sights. Great tour though, would absolutely recommend.
