Great DMZ tour - Exploring tunnel #3 was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and took care of us. She was one of the best we had on the trip. She tried really hard to get us the best time and best spot. She was trying to make adjustments. She did a very good job! I liked that they picked us up right from the hotel. Drop off included 4 different locations throughout the city of Seoul, which was convenient. She gave us relevant information on what was going on and how things were affecting the DMZ. Great deal for the money!

Well worth visiting - Excellent tour. Lovely guide called Vincent. Educated us all about the DMZ. Would highly recommend. Make sure you're adequately up to a bit of exertion, however you can sit out on some things if feeling apprehensive.

Perfect - The tour was really great, even if we had terrible weather. The only downside is that there there was no real lunch stop, but we had multiple occasions to buy snacks / small lunchs to be eaten on the way. The guide herself was speaking perfect english and was very nice and interesting. Thank you Joo Ee ! We had such a great time !

Especially the third infiltration tunnel was outstanding. Joo-ee provided us with lots of interesting and heartfelt information, which we are very grateful for.

Unforgettable memories - Watching North Korean residential areas from the observation point was amazing. There were double and single story houses and some without roof. I also spotted 6 farmers working.

Fabulous tour of the DMZ, the third infiltration tunnel, Imjingak, the observatory and suspension bridge - From booking to finish, Vincent did a great job communicating, driving us everywhere, giving us a good history lesson about North and South Korea and providing pertinent information which made the tour meaningful. We were picked up early from our hotel and being in a small group allowed us to maneuver around the crowds more easily and be one of the first groups in to the DMZ (which meant less waiting around). Walking through the third infiltration tunnel was interesting because you could see where North Korea planted dynamite to create the tunnel. We could see North Korea from Imjingak and the observatory. From the observatory, you can see South Korea too and the contrast between the two is quite stark. The suspension bridge was a lot of fun. Make sure you bring your walking shoes because there’s a good amount of walking. Of course, you can choose not to do the walking part if you are unable. At the end of the tour, you have a choice of four places to get dropped off (Gwangjang market, Hongdae, Dongsaemun or Myeongdong) which is a bonus. This tour is well priced and worth every Korean won or whatever denomination you use. I highly recommend it as it exceeded all my expectations.

Worth doing once in your lifetime - Looking across the river into North Korea from observation building makes it real. The story behind the 5 tunnels is fascinating.
