DMZ tour - It was an interesting and enlightening experience. The highlight was having a briefing from a North Korean defector. It was well worth the time and our tour guide was very informative, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Insightful historical and cultural tour - A wonderful historical and cultural trip with Han and Patrick who went out of their way to explain everything as we made our way through the DMZ. I would thoroughly recommend.

'The barbed wire twain' - Captain Obvious holds a gun @ irony. @ DMZ a volley silent blanks ringout a crying echo ... Where North meets South like East meets West. Through binoculars we look to see how the barbed wire twain can meet again. Ace, Sunny Soul Tour guide showed the way on our intimate sojourn of three. Our individual questions were answered to promote the higher cause. P. McDonald Castlemaine Victoria, Australia

Awesome Experience! - Sophia was an excellent guide and she gave us a lot of historical context and fascinating local information. I would go on any tour with her as our guide, but her personal connection to the DMZ gave it an edge on some of the other groups we saw there. Be prepared to walk, there are a lot of hills!

Wonderful DMZ Tour Experience with Sophia from Sunny Seoul Korea - We went on a DMZ tour with Sunny Seoul Korea, guided by Sophia. Sophia e was incredibly sweet and hardworking! It was truly a pleasure to be on the tour with her. She always kept the big picture in mind, made sure we had everything we needed, and answered all our questions clearly and loudly. She also gave us great recommendations for other places to visit in Seoul. I can definitely recommend taking a tour with Sophia — she was absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, the weather was bad that day, so we didn’t get to visit the “Red Suspension Bridge.” However, we received a refund for that part of the tour, which we really appreciated. It was very fair of them not to take us there in the rain and give us a poor experience.
