Sebastian was great and this tour was really enlightening. - This is a great way to experience the DMZ and also see some of the Korean countryside outside of Seoul. We did the lake suspension bridge and it was very peaceful. The army stew for lunch was awesome. The DMZ tour was enlightening and also a hoot to see.

Premium Private DMZ Tour. - We thoroughly enjoyed the Viator, Premium Private DMZ Tour with guide Sebastian. He picked us up at our hotel in a brand new, Hyundai, Staria touring van; fully equipped with all the technology and air-conditioning. We don’t speak Korean, but Sebastian’s English was excellent – we understood every word. We made our first stop at the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge located a 20 minute hike up from the parking lot. We enjoyed the beauty of the Korean mountains and surrounding nature. Sebastian took us for lunch at one of his favorite local diners. I asked him to order his Korean favorites, so we could be sure to enjoy the food preferred by the locals: crispy dumplings, fried rice, noodles with Jajangmyeon black bean sauce, and big frosty bottles of Cass Beer. Lunch was large “family style” portions, delicious and memorable. After lunch we did the short drive to the DMZ area to explore the third tunnel; dug under the border by North Korean soldiers. The hike down the tunnel and back up was 1.2 km and was a good workout. We then visited the New Dora Observatory site closest to the North Korea border and a farming village. From the observatory’s café, we were able to clearly see (with Sebastian’s binoculars), both the North Korean and South Korean flags – a mere 800m separating them). Photos were prohibited. The image is historically and politically significant. 5 stars for our guide Sebastian. He provided everything – adding up to a great experience. I highly recommend you book a tour with Sebastian through Viator – you won’t be disappointed. Love to all – moduege salang!

Our tour guide, Benny,... - Our tour guide, Benny, was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire day seamless. We ate delicious food at a wonderful restaurant and he was thoughtful to bring ice water due to the super hot weather.

Great experience - Great tour of the DMZ, fascinating history. Our Guide, Mr. Kim was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took care of everything.

Great way to tour the DMZ! - We enjoyed our time with our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about Korean history and shared a lot of things we didn’t know. Be prepared… this can be a physical trip! The climb to the suspension bridge was steep and the tunnel at the DMZ (on the way up particularly) got the heart rate up! The tunnels are a bit tight so if you are claustrophobic at all be aware that it is a tight fit! Overall the trip exceeded our expectations and was just what we were hoping for!

DMZ with Benny - Benny was a great guide. He was super knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Korea. He was also on time picking us up. Loved everything about the tour.

Great tour & guide! - Andy was our guide to the DMZ. He was prompt and courteous. He even helped maneuver and accommodate a last minute add. He explained the difficulty of adding my mother to the tour given the limited number of visitors allowed to the site. Yet, he worked the entire time to make it happen and it did happen! We learned so much from Andy about both South and North Korea. Our questions were endless and yet he was patient and thoughtful with all of his answers. He was so knowledgeable and spoke English very well. We very much enjoyed our visit with him and would recommend this tour to anyone to wants to learn about the conflict and the history of these two regions.

DMZ Tour with Lunch - BJ was the best! One of the most personable guides we have had. Loved learning about his Korean culture and experiences. He was flexible and catered tour to our requests.

Fantastic DMZ Tour - BJ was our guide & he was great. He picked us up promptly at 7AM & shared all his knowledge of Seoul. He was a great tour guide when we were at DMZ & was a joy to spend the day with him. I highly recommend this tour & ask for BJ!

Interesting trip to DMZ - Very interesting trip to DMZ, led well by our guide Sebastian. If you are looking for something different, this is a very good option.
