Valuable and enjoyable experience - Chloe is an amazing guide and she showed us a completely different side to Korea. We would not have learnt or experienced anywhere near as much as we did if we had not taken this tour. The day was packed with sites to visit, with an easy pick up point near Myeongdong Station. I don't normally do guides tours but this is a must when visiting Seoul!

Memorable trip to DMZ - Chloe was fantastic! Amazing attitude, friendly, communicative, and informative. Would definitely recommend her. Lunch was a very affordable buffet with traditional Korean food. The defector interview was my favorite part, but be aware lots of photos/videos are restricted depending on the part of the tour.
