Recommended tour! DMZ, 3rd tunnel, suspension bridge

Ryan_P, Apr 2024

Exactly what I expected. Our tour guide Henry was awesome. He was knowledgeable and attentive. Looked after the whole group and knew exactly was missing/late. He even taught us some Korean words. It was a long day full of exploring. Highly recommend.

I’ve been on many one day...

Chris_B, Mar 2024

I’ve been on many one day tours. This was not good. It was cheap and now I know why. Lots of shopping when it was sold as no shopping. Not really much to see at each location. Disappointing.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for review. Hope see you next time again on the tour. Thank you.

Snowy session

Phillip_M, Jan 2024

It was so snowy - we could not do the DMZ or JSA tour. We were offered the cable car and the Korean War Museum. Not much you can do.

The tour schedule can be changed depends on the situation (military issue or weather problem). But this kind of situation doesn't happen often (only around 3~5 times a year). Once again, appreciate a lot for your review and look forward to provide better service on your next trip.

IT’s worthy

Brigitte_C, Aug 2023

The tour was very interesting. I liked it. And Jenny was a good guide speaking slowly an clear. For then non native English speakers some guides are difficult. But wit Jenny no problem.

Observatory deck allowed us a first time view of the North. The video + excellent account of Tour Guide Gogo allowed us an appreciation of Korea history.

Good tour but tour company was not

Julie_A, Apr 2023

Sign up was NOT as advertised ( no hotel pick up) meeting places changed several times before date. Sent questions that were never answered. Pick up was awful. Told to be at meet up point by 950. Look for a red bus don’t be late. We were there a red bus labeled VIP DMZ bus appeared. Tour leader was RUDE. Not on her list. I had paperwork she ignored me, I had to stalk her as I had tickets printed. Finally she called and we were told on a different bus. ( that arrived after 10 and was NOT a red bus). Excursion was good. You walk thru a tunnel but do not get near border. Not really as advertised. 3 stars is generous. Tour leader was ok. Thou a bus full of people and she began talking about site before those on the back of the bus were even off the bus. Not like we could have gotten off bus any faster. Feel like those in the back of the bus were short changed. I’d recommend the excursion but not with VIP tpurs. Many others offer this same trip

A must when here in Seoul

Tyshawn_J, Jan 2023

This was a great experience. Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable on so many faves of the Korean dynasty and culture. We were able to visit a few places that had been rebuilt after several burnings. This was a tour you won’t want to pass on.

Een aanrader

Prima verzorgd, ophalen was goed geregeld. Gids was enthousiast en vertelde ook van alles om de excursie heen. Leuke dag, zeer zeker een aanrader vooral omdat de boeking binnen een tijdsbestek van enkele uren was geregeld

Lina, la guía fue muy amable, cercana y con muchas ganas de enseñar a todo el grupo. Aprendimos mucho de la historia de corea y de todos los puntos que fuimos visitando. Agencia puntual.
