Very insightful tour of the DMZ - We had a really nice tour with Ms. Sook-hee despite the rain and cold weather. Ms. Sook-hee is very knowledgeable and open to answer questions. Thanks again!

Rainy Day Visit to the DMZ - Despite the rainy weather and things being closed for being Monday, we made the best of it with our tour guide Sook Hee, who was very knowledgeable and open to questions. Despite the sombre nature of the tour, it was a good experince and I recommend it. The hike up to the suspensipn bridge at the end is physically demanding, but worth doing if you are able. The views from the bridge were truly breathtaking (albeit I didn't have that much breath left to take after the hike up to the bridge).

Interesting Tour - We had a great day on the monday tour at the DMZ with Suki. Everything was well organized and the tour stops were very interesting even though some things are closed on mondays. It was nice that the DMZ was not that crowded.

An excursion to make when visiting Korea. - Sites such as the Odusan Unification Observatory, which allows visitors to see North Korean territory, Gloster Hill Memorial Park and Heroes Suspension Bridge are indeed places to visit: historic and moving. We were fortunate to have had a guide, Ms Sookhee, motivated, motivating, knowledgeable about her subjects. We would have liked to stay a little longer on some sites to better understand and soak up the events. The trip was also appreciated thanks to the good driving of the driver and his comfortable bus.

Fantastic DMZ tour and guide - Sookhee was a fantastic guide. Very informative with excellent English. Gave us a great itinerary and kept us on schedule, but with plenty of time to enjoy every aspect of the day's tour. The whole family learned a lot throughout the day about the history of the DMZ, border and Korean War. The suspension bridge was a wonderful hike. And the Gondola over the DMZ on the North Korean side was really a surreal experience. Communication with Viatour and the pickup spot was fast and clear instructions and ontime.

Enriching visit - This experience was unique and interesting, with discoveries at every step. However, in the last park, I felt that we didn’t have enough time to visit it properly and complete the route as planned. We had to rush through it, which was a bit of a shame. The guide Sookhee was nice !
