Park for displaced people. Our sadness starts from here. Before getting in DMZ, we will walk around this park with watching bridge of freedom and abandoned steam train,etc.
DMZ
Guide will get in the tunnel with tourists. The depth is 73m(240ft) and it takes 20min for round trip. We guess North Korean could send 30000 soilders in an hour through the tunnel. But there are 3 more tunnles. We will tell you about it.
Let's see North Korea in person. Their life without any freedom, their poor economy and pity people without any human right. We will see and we will feel it together.
We can visit this lake and enjoy the beautiful scene of nature. We walk around together and we will help your best pictures!
Hun was Awesome!! we worked with him ahead of time to make sure he knew what we wanted to see. He picked us up right at the cruise port and communicated with us up to that minute. He was patient and friendly and just a wonderful guide.
Very informative. Need to be able to navigate hills and uneven terrain. The third tunnel was very narrow and had a low ceiling. Hard hats were required.
Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We spent hours with him and developed a good rapport with him. Moon was the best!
This is my second time in S. Korea with Hun… wait. Nope. THIRD. 😂 And there’s a reason I keep coming back. Professional. Timely. Reliable. Knowledgeable. And most importantly, PLUGGED IN with all the right people. 😂
We spent the most wonderful day with Moon. He is truly one of the kindest and most thoughtful people you will ever meet. From the very beginning, he anticipated every need. He packed cold water bottles and carried them in a cooling bag all day, brought umbrellas to protect us from the sun, and even provided fans for the sweltering heat. He was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer every question we had. What stood out most was his genuine care and attention to detail. My wife is pregnant, and whenever her hands were full, Moon would carry the umbrella for her. At one point, while I was fanning her, he was fanning me. That small moment perfectly captures the kind of person he is. If you have ever read Unreasonable Hospitality, Moon embodies that philosophy to a T. He went above and beyond in every possible way and made our day truly unforgettable. We could not recommend him more highly.
It was fun to see the city at night and the Temole was beautiful eithbskknits lights. we also enjoyed the night market!
Soo was amazing! He is very friendly, and tailored the tour to our needs perfectly. I highly recommend him for personal tours in South Korea! He helped us avoid long lines and we had a wonderful time!
We had a great day with Hun, he was very knowledgeable and accomodating, picking us from the Port in Incheon and taking us back to the hotel at the conclusion of our tour. Highly recommend
Terrific service. Terrific, unique experience. Operator worked hard to coordinate our arrival and departure times with our DMZ reservation. And our guide, Moon, was the best!!! We learned so much about Korean history and culture. Thank you!
Soo did a great job on our tour of the DMZ. We started the day at Majang Lake on the beautiful suspension bridge and then made our way to the DMZ. He was very knowledgeable about the history and eager to show us the sights. The DMZ is important to our world history and even more so to Korea’s rich history, and Soo makes sure that you really understand each monument and the significance of the DMZ itself. This was my second tour with Soo and I highly recommend him.
Our local guide, Soo, was very punctual, informative and so easy going while still keeping us on schedule to see everything. We had a great time with Soo and we were so impressed with his knowledge of timing when to avoid overcrowded areas, we booked another tour with him! We will definitely return and book another tour with Soo!
Our second tour with Awesome Tours. The best experience. Be prepared to walk and get sweaty if you will go in the tunnels it’s very steep. The tunnel is not recommended to kids or have health issues. It was a great experience and highly recommend the tours. Very flexible so if you skip the tunnels you can go to the lake or suspension bridge which we didn’t do but was an option for this tour.
My wife and I are traveling on a Regent Asia cruise. One of our stops was in Seoul. My wife asked if we could visit the DMZ, I guess she had watch one too many MASH reruns. Well I booked a trip with Brand X tour agency also from Viator. I called on the first day of our cruise to confirm our pick up and a send X said we can’t pick you up at the Incheon International Cruise Terminal. I said why as they had accepted the tour. They said they can’t and refunded my money. Given we were only 6 days away from our docking in Seoul, I found his new agency. They warned me it would be hard to get tickets to the DMZ on short notice, but Soo our tour guide never gave up and with an effort only matched by trying to get tickets to popular K-Pop group he came through! From The start Soo was awesome in answering my wife’s 10,000 questions and showing us all there is to see at the DMZ. He was so good I kept Soo to help us see Seoul the next day. We had 2 great days and learned an incredible amount about Korea’s history. We would recommend Soo To everyone who wants a personal and personable tour guide! I will be telling all my friends who head to Korea!! Thanks Soo!!’
We had an amazing 2 day tour of both DMZ and Seoul with Soo. One of the best guides we have ever had….. smart, focused, great customer service, attention to detail, great pics, very knowledgeable etc etc. Do not hesitate to book this company, and especially Soo.
What an amazing tour of the DMZ. Our tour guide, Hyun Soo was very knowledgeable, easy going and spoke English very well. We went to Majang Lake, Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri park, The third tunnel, Dora observatory, and Unification village. It was non-stop and would highly recommend this tour. We have 2 young daughters and I'm glad they were able to experience walking through the tunnel, seeing North Korea with our own eyes, and learning all the history of the Korean war. Reasonably priced and the private tour made it so much better.
The tour was insightful and interesting. We learned some Korea history and how modern South Korea came to be today. Our tour guide was Taylor Woo and he briefed us a little bit about Korea history. Unfortunately, history that involved war came with sadness. However, this tour offered a piece of history that you can experience somewhat close up. We travelled with our parents who are in their 70s. Mr. Woo was patient and attentive with our parents pace and needs.
Great trip with Taylor who was really knowledgeable and made it a fun experience. Arranged pick up/ drop off from hotel. It was a full day with loads to see, lunch was tailored to our tastes, the scenery was great and the insight into day to day Korea from Taylor was really interesting. The DMZ part of the day was brilliant. The observation point had plenty of telescopes for everyone to view the area. The tunnel experience is also a must do but you do need to be able bodied and fit to do this as it is very steep entry/exit. Would highly recommend this trip.
Our guide Soo was extraordinary. So knowledgeable, well versed, focused and always ensuring we were happy! The tour was beyond our expectation and we hope to return back and have Soo as our guide. A top notch, fabulous experience.
I wrote this for your company. Let me know where to send it: I got a chance to visit the DMZ on a tour with Trip Advisor today, July 16, 2025. I was very worried because of my recent knee transplant and heavy rains throughout the day . Yet it turned out to be a wonderful experience for me and my husband, aged 73 and 77. Mr Soo, our driver cum guide took very good care of us. Provided umbrellas, stool to climb the step at the bus, water whenever required and he also stopped at a place where we could get some vegetarian food. Despite rains, he drove me to nearby places in the DMZ area. He explained the history and significance of the peace meeting point where people from North Korea and meet their relatives in South Korea. He played the separation song for us which was very touching He even pushed the wheel chair till the observatory though it was quite steep and difficult due to rains. He was very polite, soft spoken and patient. He answered all my questions and took interest what is had to say about India. He helped me select right things by acting as an interpreter between me and the shopkeeper. He told many interesting things about South Korea and kept us engaged throughout the ride. We wish him great success in his chosen occupation. May God bless him for being kind, sensitive and caring towards his elderly clients.
If I would 10 stars that is what Hun Lee deserves. This was the best tour I have ever taken in all my international travels. He was super attentive and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond by finding a great gluten free restaurant with excellent Korean food.
We had a terrific local Korean meal, the DMZ experience was fantastic. The 3rd Tunnel walk was quite daunting as I am quite tall. The view over to North Korea was great .we had a really clear day.
Great experience with Hun. We also toured Seoul with Hun a day earlier. He was very accomodating and flexible, no rushing, which my 80ish parents appreciated. Hun is very friendly and outgoing, someone you enjoy spending the day(s) with, me and my family highly recommend Hun!
CEO Hun is a great guide and his services are awesome. Extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. Highly recommended and will definitely use again in the near future.
