DMZ tour experience - Amazing tour with SJ, really well explained! Would definitely recommend to do for anyone visiting Korea. Was doing this solo and was able to enjoy it as much as everyone. They gave plenty of times for you to explore parts on your own as well.

Really cool tour! - The DMZ tour was incredible! You visit several different stops around the DMZ which on a must see adventure. We went on a very clear day, so the view from the observatory into North Korea allowed us to see all the way to the city of Kaesŏng. Prepare to get your steps in as the suspension bridge and 3rd invasion tunnel involve quite a bit of walking and elevation gain. Unfortunately you're not allowed to take pictures into north korea or of the invasion tunnel. Our tour guide Lucy was incredible, full of knowledge and energy! She made the experience very enjoyable even though it was one of the coldest days of the year!

DMZ tour with Team Lucy was excellent - We did the DMZ tour with Team Lucy and it was one of the best things we did in Korea. The guide was knowledgeable, easy to listen to, and explained everything clearly without dragging it out. Seeing the DMZ in person really hits differently and puts a lot into perspective. Well organized, meaningful, and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend Team Lucy.
