excellent tour - The tour is well organised and offers a lot of information regarding the events that led to the division of Korea. Our guide Ann Jung had a deep knowledge of Korean history, in particular the political and social conditions regarding the 1950 - 1953 war. She is very competent, with a warm, polite and kind attitude. We were deeply impressed by the tour and had an extremely informative day.

Great tour to take with family and friends! - This tour was great! It's very unfortunate that we couldn't take photos of the North, however this was clearly explained to us. We were given ample amount of time to explore and look around while also being guided around and informed on everything. We did run into a hiccup at the beginning of the tour (two of our members forgot their passport), but Kane was very, very helpful in getting them through and being able to get through the checkpoint. However, I do advise you don't forget as it did inconvenience him with more forms to fill out.

Very thorough and knowledgeable tour - Very informative tour and Kane, the tour guide is highly knowledgeable on the subject matter. He treated the whole group as one team and we value his leadership and time management skills. He is thorough and very accommodating in all of our tour needs especially with ensuring there will be no problem with our trip even if we have lost our passports and we only have the immigration documents to present. He is really good tour guide!!!

Enjoyable tour of the DMZ and beyond! - I would strongly recommend this tour. Kane, our guide was friendly, organised and gave us in depth information about the DMZ and the history of Korea beyond what you would expect on a tour. As it was a smaller group, I felt very comfortable asking questions. It was a fascinating day made more enjoyable by our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. We also enjoyed the chocolate snack!

Bill was fantastic I would gladly take a bigger group and do it again - My time with Bill was very good he lept up a clear line of communication setting up where to meet and my expectations of the day. He was very nice and was clearly sharing his experiences and knowledge of the DMZ. He was overly patient with us, and the group was small enough to feel comfortable to ask questions and have a dialogue with him. This trip was also selected because of the fact that it went to multiple places I wanted to go that relate to the Korean war/ DMZ. This experience was worth 2x what I paid. He even assisted in capturing the attached photos. I appreciated that unlike some of the other tour guides Bill wasn't constantly spouting information at us not letting us take in the experience ourselves. He would give an overview/explanation and would gladly take further questions. Also if I get this tour again I would specify Bill. Thank you for this trip.

Best DMZ tour to pick for dedicated attention. - Our group was a small one meaning there was more attention and freedom for each guest. There are no steps going down the tunnel although it's a pretty steep slope but can be done fairly comfortably with rest stops accompanied by benches throughout first part of the tunnel. Our guide, Bill, was very friendly and approachable. He offered to take group photos without prompting. As we travelled with elderly folk,he offered to go up and down the tunnel at our pace to make sure we were ok. There arent too many photo opportunities as you can't bring a camera to the tunnels and also can't take photos facing North Korea. There are soldiers in the viewing platform who will look out for such activity. For solo travellers, you're in luck as he typically gives his free ice cream to them. Make sure you buy the soy bean ice cream after the trip as it's the delicacy of the area. The War Memorial was another highlight as it narrates the trials and tribulations of the country after WW2 and the subsequent Korean war. Bill shared the various stories with us in a condensed and concise form, which made it easy to understand. There's too much to cover in the war memorial for this tour so another self paced visit might be required to finish all there is to see.

Exceptional Tour Experience with Ann Jung – Highly Recommended! - Our tour guide, Ann Jung, was excellent and exceeded my expectations in many ways. She reached out to me well in advance of the trip and kindly assisted me with all my questions. During the trip, she ensured everything was going smoothly, and even after the trip, she followed up to wish me a wonderful vacation in Korea. The trip offered excellent value for money, and I can warmly recommend tours led by Ann Jung.
