DMZ morning tour with guide AJ - Great tour with a very dedicated and dynamic tour guide AJ. An exciting and informative tour through new and modern Korean history. Growing up in divided Germany, much of what I learned about North and South Korea in the DMZ today was dejà vu. AJ has accompanied us very engaged, funny and in an excellent English through the morning. Getting up early for the morning tour was definitely worth it.

Well Organized and Informative Tour to the DMZ - Very well-organized and informative tour. BK was an excellent tour guide! He gave us a lot of background info on the history of North and South Korea before we arrived at the DMZ so we were prepared. And, for the areas of the tour that photos were not allowed, he sent us photos taken in the past when they were allowed. Everything ran efficiently (although it was a very early start, we all were on-time and got back around 3:30). A highlight of the tour was hearing from a North Korean woman who defected to South Korea--her story and information on what North Korea is like.

Our tour guide, Sookhee... - Our tour guide, Sookhee was very knowledgeable about the history of Korea. We are very happy that we did the tunnel, it was a great experience. It was steep going down & a bit of a hike back up but we all made it. Love the suspension bridge, beautiful view of the mountains..

Perfect - Allow me to rey-lay some of the details of our trip. Our guide was easy to ray-late to, he was hilarious and spoken perfect English. visibility wasn’t very good because of the weather. Our guide was a joy you could say he had a ray-diant smile, or even that he was a ray of sunshine. In case you couldn’t tell the guy was Ray. 10/10 trip!

Exceptional Tour Guide: great experience - BK was an exceptional tour guide for our family half day tour of temples and visit to the South Korean Palace. Mr Kim was our efficient and professional driver. BK’s spoken English is extraordinarily good. We enjoyed his friendly and engaging conversation. BK’s knowledge of history was fantastic. Highest recommendation when looking for tour guides in Seoul. Please consider for your next tour.

Best introductory tour - Mr Kim and BK were the best guides we’ve had. I have visited previously and this tour was perfect. BK was very knowledgeable and set a busy but perfect pace to see a lot in a short time. Perfect tour for the start of your SK travels.
