Perfect and very interesting - For this private tour of the DMZ, we were accompanied by Lizzy, who was absolutely incredible: she was always listening, explained all the historical details very well with very good English. The meal was very good, and the different stops at the DMZ were very interesting.

Visit to DMZ in South Korea - Excellent attention peronalized in the tour in the particular case our guide was lizzy who explained us at all times and the comfortable transport is comfortable enough in our case we traveled with children and at all times the attention was kept in relation to the story in relation to the 38th parallel. In short it is worth the private tour.

Fusion of history and culture - DMZ is a busy place with a lot of history and culture. Taking a private tour with Lizzie brought the significance and meaning to the visit. Lizzie went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and took us to secret places away from the crowds. Highly recommend

Though this was billed as... - Though this was billed as a private tour, it wasn’t actually private (we had a private ride from the hotel but the tour itself was part of a larger group - it sounds like only the large tour buses are allowed within the DMZ, but this would have been nice to know before booking). Our tour guide seemed impatient to get through the tour. At one point, while half our party was in the bathroom he was pushing us to go to the parking lot. He didn’t seem that engaged in our questions. I think some storytelling could have enhanced the experience somewhat. Overall I would say this tour technically met the requirements- but some more engagement and upfront information about what the tour was could have improved the experience.
