As close to Korean history as you can get. - Wonderful tour, although it requires quite a bit of physical exercise, so be prepared. With a witty sense of humor, the tour guide, Joo-Ee, tells very interesting and touching stories about the Korean War, Korean history and Korean culture. Racing her colleagues to the DMZ ticket office, she made sure that we were the first to enter the DMZ. And her smile made sure that the whole group was back in the bus on time. All in all, a day well spent.

Recommend Jung as your guide - Jung was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable. The tour went to all of the highlights. You should keep in mind that the tunnel walk is long, it was an early start and the food options at the stops are limited

Memorable Day on the DMZ and beautiful South Korea - We booked a tour to the DMZ as this has been a part of history that has helped define our lives! The tour was everything we hoped it would be! Our Tour Guide Jung was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable of the history of North and South Korea, Overall history of Korea, the Korean War and gave us a very in depth verbal and visual history with pictures. Her English was perfect and she was able to communicate every aspect of the DMZ! The driver was excellent and tour van was very clean! We really got more that we expected from the tour and came away with a clear picture of the DMZ itself and the Korean people on each side of the DMZ. The visit to the Suspension bridge was beautiful and very invigorating to get there. It was well worth the walk! It was a day to remember and fill in our gaps of knowledge about the DMZ and life in North Korea.

DMZ and Suspension Bridge - Experience was very by good and Jung was an incredible guide. She was knowledgeable and friendly! We were able to see a lot. My only issue was being able to get food while out. There was not enough time to get food, outside of a quick bagel at the beginning. Would love a little time to eat or knee to bring morning my bag. If going just pack some snacks for yourself. Highly recommend!

Full day of all the options of the DMZ - This was a great experience and fit everything in. Our tour guide Jung was very . We had a very early pickup, but we were the first ones at every stop the first part of the day which was nice. I do recommend packing lots of snacks as there’s not much time to get any done stops and lack of options besides candy and chips.
