Private Dmz Tour From Seoul

We spent the day with our private tour guide Marco He met us at our hotel with his van and drove us to DMZ- Marco was very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. We had many lively conversations and enjoyed our day- started at 7:30 AM and we returned to hotel at 3:00. Would definitely recommend Marco as a guide

This tour and guide, Moon, was fantastic. If you are interested to learn about the history of Korea and get a lot of detail, this is the tour for you. It was great that Moon took his time with us and explain everything and answer all of our questions.

This was a fantastic tour. Moonhak was extremely knowledgeable on Korean War and the shared history with the U.S. I highly recommend taking the time to see the DMZ firsthand. You won't be disappointed.

Song was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyed talking to him throughout the tour. It was good to have the one on me. We really enjoyed the DMZ.

Not much to say. Moonhak was an incredible guide. He knew the history and significance of the DMZ. His English was perfect. I highly recommend using him.

A huge shoutout to Mr Song for this wonderful educational and friendly tour! Very comfortable including hotel pickup and dropoff. Great stories and very flexible with our preferences.

Fantastic tour and no fuss operator who managed to keep us all on a tight ship, ensuring we saw/did everything and getting us back to Seoul in time for our departure from the country. Highly recommend this private tour!

This is an excellent tour of the DMZ. Moon is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. The timing was perfect, flowed well without feeling rushed. My partner and I were picked up from our hotel (Signiel Seoul Hotel) and Mr. Song was punctual and extremely professional. Highly recommend to request Mr. Moonhak Song as your private guide to DMZ.

Moonhak Song is probably the best tour host and guide we have ever had. He is thoughtful about his guests, their needs and what they want to see and do. He made a great tour truly exceptional!

The season I would not recommend this trip is because our guide, who was a very nice man and seemed to have a gasp of English, was very hard to understand. His pronunciation of words was very difficult to decipher, which resulted in miscommunications. We felt that if we asked any questions they were either not understood, not answered or not heard. This made the experience less than desirable. As I said above, he was a very nice and pleasant man, and seemed very knowledgeable, but considering what you pay for a private tour, it did not meet our expectations. If we spoke Korean, it would have been a completely different experience/tour.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. He explained in detail what we were seeing and explained all our questions.

Great! Guide was awesome - there was a ton of fog so we couldn’t see north Korea from the Dora Observatory but the tour was great

We had a great time. The entire trip was very organized by our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable plus friendly.

Wow, I can’t even begin to describe how epic our DMZ private tour was—definitely the highlight of our trip! 🌟 First things first, I’m so glad we opted for a private tour over the group one. Trust me, the convenience is unparalleled, and those group tour queues were no joke. 🙅‍♀️ Our tour guide, Moonhak Song, was absolutely incredible. As a family of history buffs, his detailed storytelling was like music to our ears. Plus, he had a witty sense of humor that resonated so well with my goofy dad. 😄 Being Muslims, the private tour was a game-changer for us, especially when it came to food. Moonhak made sure everything was pork-free. This was huge because let’s face it, not everyone in Korea speaks English! The car? Spacious, clean, and they even provided unlimited water bottles for us! 🚗💦 And guess what? I booked through ShopBack and snagged another awesome 12% cashback. Given the top-notch service from our tour guide, I’d say it’s a steal! If you’re on the fence, just book it. You won’t regret it!

We were fortunate that our guide/ driver spoke good English and was very knowledgable on the history of the Korean peninsula. He was able to answer all of my husband's question on Korean war history. The private tour was worth its price.

My tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. It was amazing to experience the history of Korea between the north and south and to actually see North Korea that day!

This is an unconventional review - we had the unfortunate circumstance to have our tour cut short by a rare power outage at the 3rd Tunnel entrance facility. After 30 mins of confusion and having our tour guide diligently try to find out the issue, the officials informed us that we wouldn't be able to visit ANY of the tour spots. The guide was really understanding and helpful in explaining the situation and spoke to his boss. They offered to provide a full refund of the cost of the trip, no stipulations. Given the circumstances, which were not their fault, I thought this was a very very generous and kind offer. That alone deserves recommendation, but if the tour had gone through as planned, I would have put up a positive review I'm sure.

Pick up at our hotel by Moonhak, our driver and excellent guide for the day. He is speaking very good English, and has an enormous knowledge of Koreas history and present time. We had a great experience.

Gracious host who spoke excellent English. Great day! Thank you. Would recommend him to others. Fortunate to have a sunny day with good visibility

From pick up to drop off we enjoyed the trip. Our tour guy (Song) was very knowledgeable on every aspect of Korea. Hystory, geography, sociL aspect... we were able to learn so many things. The tour was very well planned. No waiting. Vehicle very comfortable and drive very safe. A must if you are in Seoul! Our kids really enjoyed the trip. And how exciting to be 170mt from North Korea!

It was fascinating to hear the history and be right on the border with North Korea. The walk down into the secret tunnel dug by North Korea under the border was strenuous and made it all so real. It was busy so we had a 2 hour wait to enter the DMZ. Our guide looked after us well and had a comfortable electric car.

We had a great tour and English speaking tour guide. He was very smart and knowledgeable about the DMZ and he was super nice!

Brilliant! organised a taxi for one of our group to go straight to the airport, very easy to deal with.

The guide was amazing! This was the perfect trip for our short visit. Everything was well planned and timed and even had some flexibility in it. Everything went smoothly. Communication was easy and we had many interesting conversations on history, culture and philosophy. I would highly recommend to anyone. The highlight was to see actual ppl on the other side. The scheduling of getting to the DMZ area depends on the day and the length of the trip is dependent on that aswell. That is good to take into account if you have a tight schedule as we had. We still got to the DMZ zone with the alternative schedule and we were more than happy with everything. A day to remember for a longer period of time.

JK our guide was great and worked hard to get us tickets into the DMZ despite it being very busy. Clean and nice car. Just to be clear you are paying for personal car service to and from Paju. Inside the DMZ you can only enter using certified busses.

Song our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable , it was an amazing experience which we will remember for a long time.

Besides the same DMZ tour as everyone else he took us to the museum of “lost abductees” which we knew nothing about. Very interesting. He was very attentive to our needs, and was extremely knowledgeable but could have allowed more time for photos

We had a great time with our guide Mr song . He is very knowledgeable and we learnt d history in a fun way . Recommend this tour

Our guide JK was wonderful - informative, excited and knowledgable about the DMZ. We had a great private tour with him!

Our private guide, Song, was an excellent source of information on North and South history. Its worth the little extra you pay for the one on one question and answer time you get.

I took this tour privately with door-to-door pickup and drop-off at my accommodation. It was a fantastic day, made really special by a very knowledgeable driver/guide who spoke excellent English and was a fountain of knowledge on the whole history of the Korean war and its aftermath. The visit to the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel was probably the highlight. The weather wasn't good that day, so visibility from the observatory was poor, but that was just my bad luck. I'll go again, with the same company and hopefully the same driver. Highly recommended.

Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, the DMZ was closed on our allotted tour date. As such an alternative tour was arranged, which our group of five adults fully enjoyed. Our guide, Mr Song, was fantastic. He was prompt, professional and very informative, keeping us up to date with information and also had a great background to explain all the sites we saw and the historical significance. Thank you Mr Song, for being a great guide to Seoul.

Great tour right outside of Seoul. Highly recommend the private tour. Mr. Kim was an excellent tour guide who was very kind and knowledgeable. Parts of the tour were not available due to concerns beyond anyone’s control and Mr. Kim was quick to propose other options that made for a great day.

The guide was polite and professional. Drove carefully and calmly which is important for us since we have kids on board (I have experienced other drivers that made me feel car sick). The tour however is merged with another big bus upon arrival to DMZ, so it is not fully private. But it is manageable.

Song was the perfect private tour guide for my family’s trip to the DMZ. He communicated well I’m advance for our pick up and drop off arrangements and was on time to pick us up, right in front of the home we were staying at. The trip to the DMZ would have been far less meaningful without his narration on the history of Korea- he was extremely knowledgeable!! I highly recommend booking thei tour and requesting Song as a tour guide if he is available. He is beyond accommodating and made the trip enjoyable for my whole family.

Our guide was very informative, very friendly, and comes with an absolute recommendation. We were picked up at the hotel and were guided around the DMZone without any worries!
