We always wanted to visit the DMZ and had the chance. Dragon was our tour guide and he was very helpful in explaining the history and significance of this heavily defended border. He was very insightful on what to look at and the meaning behind many things that are going on here. Highly recommend booking with him.

Andrew was a knowledgeable tour guide. He was friendly and conscientious of the needs of the people in the group. He has some personal stories to share with the group that related to North Korea. We would take another tour with him.
Excellent tour, the tunnel was well worth it and the view was great from the observatory. Our guide Andrew was amazing, He had fantastic knowledge and good jokes. His English was outstanding.
Enjoyed our DMZ tour. Tour guide is awesome and knowledgeable not to mention super friendly and super polite. Very highly educated English speaking tour guide.
The tour guide Ki was very nice, helpful, and insiteful.
Family enjoyed it! Lots of information from our guide Ki. Very personable, passionate about the culture and knowledgeable. Be ready to walk! More inclines and walking than expected. Worth it!
My four friends and I loved the DMZ tour with Ki. It was wonderful. Ki is a very nice guy. We enjoyed every stop and all the information that Ki shared with us. Cute guy 😍
The tour was great especially our tour guide Ki is so helpful . He was answering all of our curious questions regarding Korean war.
Very interesting tour, good info provided by Ki, would remend

Ki was a great guide. He shared a ton of knowledge and personal experiences.
the tour guided is funny and entertaining
Great day, very interesting and dynamic thanks to the our guide Ki. I really liked meeting the deflector from North Korea. I learned a lot of things
Luckily it wasn’t raining today. April was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed the tour very much. A little steep 10 minute walk up to the bridge. Fantastic view. We walked across the bridge to the amazing view on the other side. We also liked the gondola ride across. We didn’t spend much time on the other side since we were hungry. 3rd tunnel was fun. Tougher walk back up but there are hand rails and benches if you need to rest. Helmets to protect your head. View from Dora was interesting too. April lent us binoculars to see toward N Korea and DMZ area: We would do it again.
Too long standing around at the beginning of the tour but got better. Graze on the go for lunch. Overall well priced and they pick you up from nearby sub way station.
It was a very good experience, wide variety of locations, very friendly tour guide. Beautiful views from gondola, beautiful views from Dora.
Thanks to our guide Patrick, everything was well organized and confortable! I fully enjoyed this tour! Patrick was very nice guide.
Patrick is a knowledgable, friendly and funny tour guide who provided great insight on the history of the DMZ and its context. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it!
Enjoyed this trip! Would like to repeat this again in the future. Patrick knows everything and that’s awesome! Wish every tour guide is just like him! 5 star for him! :)
Patrick was very helpful and knowledgeable. Ride was on time and drive was quick. Highly recommended for those looking for DMZ tour.
Roy was great! Very informative. The day just felt a bit rushed. Would have loved to have explored and read more at a few of the stops.
It was an eye opener trip, Roy our guide is very nice explaining everything about our attractions.. pick was smooth, and we travel in small groups.
good experience in DMZ know more about South Korea and North Korea More time allowed is better a bit early in morning 8am is better
Fun tour! Great to know korean history. Expect a lot of hiking esp with the underground tunnel. If you are planning to buy north korean won, buy it in the peace gondola.
The view is amazing as the weather was great!! It’s cold and quite tired to walk lots of stairs and slopes under snowy weather, but overall the view is so worth it!!
Our family tour guide was Patrick. He was kind and friendly, very knowledgeable, and provided us with lots of useful information. He made our day amazing.
Patrick is very kind. He is the best. Tour was very smooth. No time delay. Just don't get confused with other buses. Had a good time.
Patrick was amazing and information. He gave a detailed tour. He explained all the different sites. The price was also very reasonable. It was a fun time.
Great commentary with historical and political insights. Speedy rides between each stop. Thank you, Patrick. Always trying his best to answer any of our questions.
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour to the DMZ! Patrick was such a wonderful and informative tour guide. Everything was on time and extremely organized. I would highly recommend a tour with him!
Take a tour to DMZ, learn some history about it. Ki is a great tour guide and the driver is great as well. Wonderful trip. Thank you
Our family had so much fun with this very informative and educational tour! Our tour guide April was so bubbly, professional, and also humorous which definitely helps to capture our attention and made the whole tour so enjoyable! Good Job April!
She is knowledgeable and very thoughtful. She goes out of of the way to help us catch up since we missed out pick-up point and time
Very informative and interesting tour. Patrick was an amazing host as he took us through each of the locations. The tour ran smoothly with pick up and drop off. Highly recommend!
Tour was amazing and very informative on the history of Korea. Patrick was extremely welcoming and friendly providing an awesome experience in the DMZ while educating us on the history and how this came to be. For anyone wanting to experience the DMZ I would recommend Patrick as the guide.
Amazing tour guide! Thorough with all the information and was on time. Patrick was kind and well spoken and answered all our queries we had. Definitely worth it
Very informative and friendly. Patrick was our guide and he had a great balance between history and current living. We all had a great day and had plenty of time to head back to Seoul for the remainder.
The end-to-end experience was very pleasant, I negotiated directly with the company which allowed me to make payment online and on-site, as we were a large group. The tour is very cool, it is very interesting to learn more about the history of Korea and have the opportunity to see North Korea. Our guide Danny brought many interesting stories and facts, answered all our questions, and was always very helpful. Besides, we always arrived at the places before the other tours, so we took the empty spots!! Highly recommend
Everything perfect! The tour was interesting and was divided into 5 stops, so quite intense. Our guide April, super positive, explained many historical events, both in buses and in the sites without showing signs of fatigue. Highly recommended!
It was unnecessarily lengthy. The tour started at 6:35 am (pick-up) and ended around 3:30 pm. There were only two interesting points, that was the tunnel and the observatory, where you could really look at North Korea. The rest can be saved, the tour is artificially lengthened. The gondola ride can also be saved. At the observatory, our guide did not have binoculars, but other tour guides did. I thought that was a real shame. After I told the tour guide Patrick, he organized binoculars for me, which was very good. better a short tour with only the observatory, which is enough. Otherwise, the guide was very friendly, I found it partly too much (unnecessary) info.
Notre guide Andrew a été excellent, il a répondu à toutes nos questions et a rendu notre journée incroyable. Les différentes étapes de la visite étaient très intéressantes.
It was so nice for the guide to give you a good explanation. The DMZ guide brightened the military knowledge of the men's guide. It was a lot of travel as a Korean. I was impressed to come down to the pit together. I recommend the guide's explanation.
The first time I saw DMZ in North Korea, I was able to make so amazing and good memories. Next I want to go to another DMZ.
I think it's a special date with my girlfriend. It's so pleasant. I was happy. You won't regret going. One kilometer away from North Korea. It looks really close.
We really enjoyed the tour and learned about the history and interesting facts of North and South Korea. April our guide was very attentive and answered our questions.
