If traveling to Seoul and you want a great experience I highly recommend Michael Kim. He provided us with a great experience learning about the DMZ and South Korea he is both an experienced guide and very knowledgeable . We finished the tour feeling like we had made a friend.
Great time. Learned quite a bit about the Korean War as well as the aftermath. Mr Bean did a great job explaining everything to us.
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide in South Korea. From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and thoughtfully planned. He took care of all the details in advance, which made our trip smooth and stress-free. What impressed us most was how caring and attentive he was throughout the journey—always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He delivered on every promise and went above and beyond to make our time in Korea truly memorable. Highly recommended!
Our guide Mr.Kori was excellent, he had in-depth knowledge of the conflict between North and South Korea. He was extremely polite and professional while being friendly at the same time. He escorted us during the entire tour so that we would see all that was available at each location. We highly recommend Mr.Kori he is a 5 star plus performer. A very big thank you to Mr.Kori (Mr. Ahn).
Our.Guide.Keiven Lee was exceptionally knowledgeable and pleasantly engaging the entire day. The history and local knowledge led to the overall experience on this once in a lifetime journey!
Michael was great, very polite and punctual about picking us up at our hotel. He was well informed about the tour and history. We really had great family time!
Very interesting and knowledgeable guide (Michael) , with good music! Lived the heated seats in his car and we all love Sonagi :)
Our guide, who had military experience, immersed us in the troubled relationship between North & South Korea. At one point in Tunnel 3 which North Korea dug in 1970-75 to invade South Korea we were 150 meters from the North Korean border. Not to be missed!
The tour was fantastic made even better by the very knowledgeable and friendly Sophia. If you are considering a tour in Korea you won’t find anyone better than Sophia
Great day with Michael at the DMZ. Very knowledgeable and great English. He is a safe driver with a beautiful car. I very much recommend him for sightseeing in Korea.
Good tour, it has changed from the previous two times I visited but the experience was made special by Michael the tour guide. The 3rd tunnel could be difficult for older people due to lift be broken- use caution (steep and difficult climb coming back up)
We were very lucky to have Mr. Michael Kim as our tour guide to the DMZ in April 2024. Michael is very knowledgeable on the history of the DMZ. He planned his itinerary very thoroughly, caring, knowledgeable, and accomadating to our last minute changes of itinerary. I would highly recommend Michael to my friends and those who read the reviews.
It was a thorough n informative trip which was well planned so that we saw the most on the shortest possible time. Highly recommend
I would rate Mr. Kim’s private DMZ tour a 10, but they only want us to go to 5. Our trip was part business and part tourist and our day with Mr. Kim was the most memorable because he treated us as VIP’s in every way. His knowledge and information on Korean history and Korea in general was top notch and I would recommend his private tour to anyone wanting an extra special experience.
The trip was a wonderful history lesson. Michael made it amazing. He is so knowledgeable. He was fantastic at navigating the mess that is the ticket line. Wonderful insight into daily Korean life. And he’s a great driver!
It was an amazing experience with Michael . He answered all our questions! And after the tour he took us to a local spot for lunch . 5 stars for sure! He told me he’s a foodie . I will def call him again next time!
We had a great experience on the DMZ tour. Michael was friendly and knowledgeable. He recommended a fabulous lunch spot based on what he learned about our tastes. And customized an additional stop too! Thank you for a wonderful day!
Today we had an excursion with Mr. Michael Kim, it was something unique because the treatment and his good behavior towards us was something very special. We felt like family.
