Great day with an even better tour guide! - I had an amazing time on this tour with Joey as our tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and her English was fantastic. Her jokes made the whole tour feel so at ease and her sense of humour made my day! At the same time, she was able to give us such interesting facts about the DMZ and took everyone’s needs into to consideration with professionalism and patience. Would highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Seoul and will definitely try to do it again when the weather is a bit better!

Great day with great guide - We booked a DMZ tour through booking.com. Our tour guide Joey was truly amazing. She was so knowledgeable and all topics relevant to the tour and was also very passionate about what she was talking about. She was also very funny and had some great jokes. Her English was perfect and she was very clear. Some of the history that she shared with us was also very touching and she described the history on the Korean Peninsula very well. Although the fog on the day meant we couldn’t see into North Korea from the observatory it was still a very enjoyable day. The tunnel was probably the best part of the tour where you could go along way underground to view and old tunnel that North Korea as digging before the south found it. A really great day, made even better by an outstanding tour guide. I could not recommend this company enough and you are extremely lucky if you get Joey as your tour guide.

An unforgettable DMZ Tour wth Dennis - Informative fun and engaging. - Our DMZ tour with Dennis was absolutely brilliant! Dennis was not only incredibly knowledgeable and insightful but also brought a great sense of humor to the experience. His funny quips and lighthearted approach made the day engaging and fun without taking away from the gravity and history of the places we visited. Walking through the tunnels and standing on the observation deck overlooking North Korea were intense experiences, and Dennis’s detailed explanations and engaging stories helped us appreciate each moment. This tour was an unforgettable highlight of our trip, and I’d highly recommend Dennis as a guide to anyone visiting the DMZ!

Good but some attractions were closed. - The experience was very good. Unfortunately the Boat voyage was unavailable due to some tension between South and North Korea. The alternative tour was nice. Also the observatory was closed but our guide Paul make the experience very enjoyable!

Recommend this DMZ tour! - Despite the whole day raining and I couldn’t really see anything due to fog in the distance, I still had an incredible day with our tour host Lucy. She was very informative about the various locations we visited. I would do this tour again on a sunny day to see the distance better.
