DMZ tour - Really enjoyed this tour. Leo was informative, passionate and fun. The DMZ experience is definitely a bit of a circuit where there are only a few options and it’s all pretty controlled but Leo felt more personal than some of the bigger and slicker operators that were around us, which is something we appreciated. He also kept us moving so we jammed in as many options as we could in the limited time. Have good shoes because you do a lot of walking.
