A snapshot of life over the border
Hannah_P, Oct 2023
An unforgettable experience being able to see a snapshot of life over the border! The only negative was being transferred from a smaller bus onto a Japanese speaking bus (this was no fault of our tour guide and we are very flexible to share with anyone), however I felt we missed out on a lot of key information on the bus to and from locations and felt like an add-on rather than being on our own tour. Our guide was very friendly and tried to fill us in as much as possible during pauses from the Japanese guide.
Eye opening to see it in person
Lynette_A, Oct 2023
Korean tour guides were hit and miss in terms of being able to understand their English but fortunately for us we had a great tourguide named Jun who was informative, funny, and kept things on time. Eye opening experience to see this part of the world and even if you could do it for less by planning it yourself, would highly recommend taking the stress off yourself and joining a tour like this as there are many hoops and checkpoints to get through to get to the DMZ.

HYUNA_E, May 2022
It was good for having such a wonderful experience to see Korean War history and North Korea. But there are not many guide tour compared to other tours. Some un-organized plan can be noticed in this tour. If you want lots of freedom when you travel you choose this tour but wants more stories take the other.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
