The DMZ tour with Julie was perfect. It was my first time travelling solo and she made me feel very safe and kept everyone interested and entertained. Nothing was ever too much for Julie and she knew so much information, you could tell she loves what she does. Everything from the bus, to the stops along the way was great. I would 100% recommend this tour especially with Julie as your guide.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Spring, our tour guide, had fantastic energy and passion and really made the day special. My favourite bit was the observatory and the defector Q&A.

Highly recommend booking with Chloe!

Very good experience, worth to experience
My second trip with this group. Really enjoyable experience with cheerful guide!
First of all, doing a DMZ experience is once in a lifetime. What made an already amazing experience better was our tour guide, Spring. She made this day so special for all of us (37 people). She learned our names and got to know us but also was so good at explaining the background and history of North Korea and South Korea. If I could recommend anyone for this unique experience, it would be my girl Spring. Thank you Spring for our incredible experience as a family, we will never forget it.
Spring was very good and tour was very interesting. Very well managed
We had a wonderful DMZ tour, thanks to our amazing guide, Chloe! She was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and friendly throughout the trip. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience and truly cared about her guests. Her passion and dedication really stood out. I highly recommend booking with Chloe if you’re visiting Seoul and planning a DMZ tour. She deserves all the support as she grows her business!
A fascinating tour and a great way to learn more about Korea’s history. A special mention for Chloe, a wonderful guide and a lovely person. As a tour guide myself, it’s a pleasure to meet a fellow professional like her. I know how much work goes into a good tour, and today I really enjoyed experiencing it from a visitor’s perspective. Thank you, Chloe! A big hug from a fellow tour guide. 😊
She was very friendly and clear. Could realy appreciate how she tried to remember everyone's name. Would recommend!
Chloe is a really fun and friendly tour guide. really enjoyed the day. Was very informative and interesting. The lunch (Korean food: rice, vegetables, kimchi, egg, meat) was really good and affordable!
My family and I had an amazing time on our tour. Our guide Spring was the highlight of the trip though, she was extremely informative as well as personable. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting, it is something you do not want to miss.
