This tour was awesome.... - This tour was awesome. The guide was knowledgeable with historical and cultural information. We did this tour as a shore excursion from a cruise ship and timing and sites were just as expected.

A Fantastic Day with Chan to the DMZ - Not to be missed if you are visiting Sokcho, South Korea. But first, the pre-excursion communication with Chan is exceptional. You may feel apprehensive initially when booking not knowing what to expect. Chan not only confirms through the booking website, but also sets up closer to the excursion date communication through WhatsApp and readily answers any questions and puts your mind at ease that he has everything handled. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Korean War and the DMZ. Following the visit to the DMZ, he has planned a set menu for a Korean lunch. very delicious and very spicy so if you don’t handle spicy food, I suggest you tell him ahead of time to arrange for less spicy cuisine. After lunch, you are back on the bus and he then takes you to a typical “old village”.
The time with Chan was bout 7.5 hours but it flew by like traveling with an old friend.
If we could rate Chan an his tour we would give it 10*!

DMZ, a must do tour! - This was a very interesting and informative tour of the DMZ. I had no idea it was going to be as emotional as it was. Akin to Normandy for me. My Uncle died in Korea and the tears flowed. Chan was a great guide. Loved the traditional restaurant he took us to. The cold buckwheat noodles, kimchi, and pork made for a memorable lunch. I wanted a take-away! The bus was very comfortable. Best of all, Chan connected with us via What’s App in advance and sent several videos which were quite informative. He even gave us all a video memory of the day!

Best DMZ tour from cruise ship - We wanted to visit the DMZ from our cruise ship the Holland America Westerdam. We heard about the tour from a fellow shipmate. . We told two other couples about the tour and they joined as well. From the moment we booked, Chan, the tour organizer and guide was very communicative with us. He described exactly what to expect, gave us comfort that we would be back at the cruise ship in plenty of time. Chan described exactly what we’d be doing and what we’d have for lunch. Chan‘s English is excellent and easy to understand. Tremendous amount of history about North and South Korea. We stopped for lunch at a typically Korean small restaurant in the countryside. Had a lovely lunch.
It was a miserable wet, rainy day. Chan made sure we all had a wonderful time regardless. He also took us for a surprise visit to an ancient village in the countryside. A wonderful experience, I highly recommend this tour. If you’re on a cruise ship, do not worry about getting back in time. Chan will make sure you’re there.

DMZ tour - A great tour, to learn more about the korea of today and the efforts to become closer to the north. And the efforts to reunify family members with each other. It was very emotional.
The guide was very friendly!
would recommend!
