Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide Yeoni was very informative and took the time to explain details thoroughly and answer questions we had. The tour was well planned and the group size was appropriate.

From pickup to dropoff, I couldn’t have asked for a better tour of the DMZ. Definitely worth the time and highly recommend to anyone visiting South Korea. Shoutout to Julie Park for being a fantastic tour guide!
Great tour!!!

Julie was an amazing tour guide, with extensive knowledge about the history between North and South Korea. We went to locations that had amazing views, history, and cultural attachments. I ended the tour with a great curiosity and satisfaction in amount of information I had learned from this DMZ tour. Would recommend to anyone traveling to South Korea interested in its origins and contemporary political status in regard to the North.
